It was a great week for NYCFC and probably an even better one for interim head coach, Nick Cushing. After delivering poor result again and again, the coach finally got two demonstrative wins with a new twist on a familiar formation that proved to be the right recipe for the club.
This week the guys break down the two games and also discuss the impact they can have on the remainder of the season. Stick around till the end and hear Maxime Chanot address the media from the Campeones Cup.
Is the pressure getting to be too much for Nick Cushing? The NYCFC Interim Head Coach appeared to snap at Mike Allen during a post game press conference last week in CitiField. Sadly, that was not the worst part of the coach’s week as his team would lose another game to league debutants, Charlotte FC.
This week Mike Anderer and Mike Allen discuss the contentious interaction from Wednesday and some of the key points from both games. In the second segment, former NYCFC Communications Team member, Woody Wilder, joins the show to discuss the expansion side Charlotte FC.
If you were born before 2000 you probably remember this popular television commercial. An elderly woman is home alone and accidentally falls with no one around. She desperately cries out for help but no one can hear her? The audience is left wondering how long she will suffer until help arrives.
The elderly woman is a good representation of NYCFC at the moment. Devastated by long term injuries and the loan departure of Taty Castellanos, the one time point leaders for all of MLS since 2016 captured only three points of a possible 21 since August 1. The reigning champions and former top tier competitors have become mediocre at best, and that’s being kind.
This week Mike, J.R. and Mike Allen do their best to break it all down and see if there’s any light at the end of the tunnel.
