RBNJ Postmatch

[Gotham Gator]

Think about the difference a player of the quality that Jack is with the ball at his feet with his distributions, shots, and mentality. Think about who we had in this spot for majority of this season who just was/is clueless with the ball, no confidence, and no touch (Shelton). When Shelton was not there, we had Mendoza or Taylor, all can't come close to Jack. Yes Lampard has been very good and his hustle on that first goal prior to the corner kick was great, when he slid and got the ball to Tmac. To me Jack Harrison is the fucking man. He makes us so much more dangerous and opens everyone else open so much. It will be a sad day when he leaves NYCFC but fuck it, lets not worry about that now.

Yes. I thought this after the last game. It's not just what Harrison brings to the team in terms of goals and assists, but his presence opens up the entire offense. Everyone has more space because of the threat he creates on the right side.

Big shout-out to roxfontaine and all of the SG members that kept the stadium lit all game long !!! That was without a doubt the best atmosphere we've had ever. The Tifo was amazing - best yet!!! The songs never stopped, and the Come on New York cheer made it's way around to 228 a few times with everybody clapping & singing along - that's really becoming the team's cheer!!! Bring that energy every game!

I am almost embarrassed that I forgot to mention how great the supporters were today. Like the team itself, they are really coming into their own, and had a great day today. They kept up the intensity and had everyone around them going strong.

And how great a moment was it to see the players come over to salute them at the end of the match. A few weeks ago, the players punted balls in and they got returned. A horrible day for both supporters and players. Today the supporters were excellent and the players returned the love. Eafter the game, every signed ball was kicked or thrown behind that goal. They players noticed.

We've still never lost or tied our third game after a two game win streak. We're really good at three game win streaks. We've never gone four in a row.

On another note, is it outrageous to think we can compete for the supporters shield? Or at least top in the east for spot in the Champions League?

Certainly it's not outrageous to think we can compete for top of the East, since we are in that spot right now. Our schedule is very tough down the stretch, but who is a bigger favorite right now than us?

As for the Supporters' Shield, let's see where we are at month's end. Colorado has a big lead.

You're good with all the "fucks" they chanted today? I'm surprised.

By the way, does anyone have any videos from the atmosphere inside the stadium and after the win outside? Thanks!

Here you go buddy

 

[NYCFCfan]

God the best part about those two was the fact that they thought their opinions were so superior to ours and they acted like we were impatient nitwits who have never watched soccer before NYCFC. Magnus at least could be cool. NYCFCfan was a douche.

What the hell?

If you're going to talk about me at least @ me.

Edit: Never mind. I'm an idiot. It was NYCFCfan10 and to your point. He has never returned lol

 

[LionNYC]

"But the series is still 4-1 and it's 7-2 on aggregate this year! And 14-4 overall!" just having a laugh at the whiny shit their throwing around on twitter/message boards etc. right now.

I think the worst thing is their fans just saying 7-0. That's like Yankee fans saying 27. It's stupid. I'm a Yankee fan.

 

[NYCFCfan]

Literally every pro Kreis guy has disappeared. Magnus and NYCFCFan were the big ones. They havent posted in forever. I guess when you are continually wrong about everything you tend to run off..

Anyway great win. Top of the east. Life is good.

LOL disregard this. Apparently it was NYCFCFan10 who was a huge Kreis fan.

Not me.

 

[TabascoDiva]

A blast of a game only made better by a great Forums post game get-together. Here's to hoping for more blue days like these.

lets all say "cheers to more blue days like these"

Yeah, it was good to grab a celebratory beer with you Midas Mulligan & mgarbowski and meet CatNYC & TabascoDiva. My apologies if I'm forgetting anybody.

Great to put friendly faces to an avatar, and finally, I was able to find out who is the misterious player in JayH's avatar! Every time time I would see it , I knew the face but could not put a name to it, and today I got to ask him. LOL
We missed you , Tom in Fairfield CT

WOOOOOOOOOOO. I just woke up after staggering through the remainder of the day. Went to baseball, didn't get a single hit and made plenty of errors, then got home at 10 30 and passed out. The alcohol is starting to wear off.

 

[Mujo Paljevic]

lol ever since mena has been starting in that CB role with Brilliant the defense is on another level, i think hernendez has to go, hes got alot of passion for the team, but at this point hes hurting us more then helping.

 

[Gotham Gator]

You're good with all the "fucks" they chanted today? I'm surprised.

For whatever reason, it didn't really bother me that much. Maybe a little more license where the Red Bulls are concerned.

I certainly don't think that one chant cancels out all the noise they made the rest of the game.

 

[EganSoccerWords]

Minimum 3-match ban. That was an outright stomp with no intent to play the ball.

De Jong got 3 games for destroying Nagbe and he actually injured someone. Do you think Duvall targeted him because of his dead nephew?

 

[dannd23]

What the hell?

If you're going to talk about me at least @ me.

Hah sorry for the confusion, definitely not directed to you.

You're an ass to even ask me that. The replay was very clear the ball wasn't near his foot and he stomped down.

If Hernandez can fill in at all the backline positions, his value to the team improves. A jack of all trades backup for $200,000, a little steep. But won't kill us this season if we don't make a move this summer for another central defender.

I'm not sure I'd agree that his play at right back was great. He lost a bunch of balls with his passing - an attribute we need our outside backs to do confidently, and he all too often gave the wing a lot of space.

[gbservis]

If we continue improving our ability to play from the back at the same rate we have been that RB high press is going to be useless against us from here on out.

Yeah, but out jack of all trades defenseman right now is White. To have Hernandez fill that role is an improvement. If he can.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

He's just sort of an ass, period. But that was a particularly weird thing to say and a weird place to say it.

 

[Fantazma]

I can't cheer the supporters sections today because of the classless mindless Fuck the RedBulls chant repeated so many times. Disqualified. All their energy wasted.

Lol


Anyway I finally woke up good game overall

Happy for three points and good thing pirlo made it out in one piece. Loved the hustle the intensity as well.

Still some scary moments ( Saunders getting a tad bit too confident for my liking when ball was kicked back to him)

This whole mena thing has surprised me he was bit shaky in Seattle game but did very well today and got a shot in, poor chip on but still a shot.

Harrison, what more can I say kid can do great things if he keeps it up, definitely a good good pick up in the draft, and you can tell he wants to play here.

One last thing: kljestan is a *****, going after Iraola? I think for a throw in and got no yellow
