Kicking off right now over on NBCSN.

1st vs 2nd.

Mourinho vs Guardiola.

Lukaku vs De Bruyne.

Who do you like?

As an NYCFC fan, I'd like to give a great big F.U. to City!

Yeah that makes no sense. Without them no Herrera among others.

Actually in all fairness that really should have been aimed more at City Football Group rather than MCFC, but they have a hand in it too.

As a fan I find it more than a tad frustrating that a team owned by the Atlanta freakin' Falcons can go out and sign 3 explosive, dynamic and young (24 y.o. or younger) Designated Players and all the geniuses at CFG can do is send us a broken down Lampard, a washed up Pirlo and come July/August it looks like we're going to be graced with a 35 year old YaYa Toure. blech

should anyone be interested, NYCFC traded Frederic Brillant to DCU this morning. No player coming back to us, just MLS funny money and an international slot.

Good trade for us. Brilliant is not good enough for a starting spot on a top team. I really think we'll see a 3 man backline next year.
Agree.

Too much money sitting on the bench in a salary capped league like MLS.

2018 NYCFC starting lineup:

Villa-Fernando Torres!
Wallace-Maxi-Harrison
Ring----Herrera
Callens---Brilliant--Ferraresi
Johnson

I bet they can get Torres with TAM, and hope they bring in a DP winger to replace Wallace and maybe Harrison if he goes to England. They really need depth all over the place.
All three goals were a joke

Both DeGea and Ederson made multiple spectacular saves on quality chances and build ups.

But that won't stop you from your typical bashing of the EPL.

I thought the game was exciting as hell and I'm thrilled my squad won.
The point blank miss...

by Lukaku at the 85th minute was a killer.

City didn't play well but I am always impressed with their ability to win back possession. They really get after it - just like Bayern, Barca, etc.

And their passing ability inside the box is really fun to watch. They find space that just doesn't seem there...

The keepers were fine, the defenders in front of them were awful.

If those goals happened in MLS people would call it what it was: awful.

There were certainly mistakes and lapses.

But overall, that was a great game.

Bitching about 'quality' just reeks of arrogance, bitterness and an agenda, especially considering the pressure and stakes of the game today.
What would I have to be bitter about?  
Go Terps : 12/10/2017 10:57 pm : link
I actually think the EPL has gotten a bit better the last couple years, as the quality of the managers has obviously improved.

I tuned in this morning expecting better than I saw. If I'm bitter about anything I guess it's that.
I guess the other thing I'd be bitter about is being a Depor fan

They're brutal.
Hijinks after the match.

What wouldn't I give to have seen someone throw a milk carton at Jose.
