Ayyyyy! There's a chance!

Ok they needed that now they need to step up defensively keep it close and go for the tie.
A counter actually plays to their strengths, not ours. Agreed. Our best moments last week were when we were pressing.Quote:

Of course my internet acts up when we net one back! Argh!
My feed went dead on final kick who scored? What happened?
When we started pressing high, their inexperienced back line was all over the place.Quote:

Seba curled in a free kick from the right side, Perquis tapped it in. It's half-time.Quote:

I truly hate watching games here. Each goal today from a set piece... last year there were a bunch of penalties called and I believe another set piece goal as well. It's awful soccer to watch. So many bodies crowded together, no space to really play, launching the ball into the box and hoping for deflections and shenanigans suddenly becomes way more appealing. Every foul is a free kick opportunity because of how narrow the pitch is... Ugh, it's just garbage.
Poor positioning by Brillant on the goal. Kept half our guys on side. If Perquis didn't get to it someone else would have.

if we score a quick goal in the 2nd half then I think we will get all 3 points here.
Thankfully no more league games on this tiny pitch this year.

This pitch is absolutely horrid. Its so tight it turns the game into a crapshoot. It doesnt even appear flat, it seems to slope upwards toward the corner flag. The league should never have given NYCFC a licence unless they had a proper stadium, but money talks I guessQuote:

and the guy was pulling Sebas shirt the whole time.Quote:

Cheyrou for Endoh I'm baffled as to how Delgado is still on the pitch
Why is the pitch so narrow? This surely would never be a regulation pitch in a European league?
I feel our offensive plan was just to hoof it up to Seba and he`ll either dance his way in or get fouled. We have no real build up when we bring the ball into NYC`s end.
Despite how it looks, it would still be regulation. Teams have significant leeway on the dimensions of their pitch.Quote:

Yeah, it's technically too small. They get dispensation from the league because it's their 'temporary home'.Quote:
