Eco Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Josef scored his 5th goal of the year last night. It didn't look like he was happy with his performance, but if him and Pity start connecting (they are just inches off), then he'll likely start looking like Josef from last year.

I think Ibra or Josef are better finishers. I think Vela is easily the best overall player in the league. Yes, he has the most goals, but he's surrounded with a ton of talent which helps. What Vela does better than most is create chances. Clear cut MVP for me, and might have another year or two left before he starts looking for a move back to Europe. I fucking love Vela.

When you think a player hasn't aged as much as they actually have. Walcott celebrated his 30th recently. I still remember him getting called up to England squad at 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst example of a player who feels he's been around forever though is Freddy Adu. He's only 29 and feels like he's been playing since I was born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Freddy Adu is still around? Remember when he was supposed to be the American Pele? Vela's the best player in the league, I hope he wins the golden boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remember when I was a season ticket holder for the Atlanta Silverbacks (way before ATL UTD)...well Tampa was their rival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 He's unlucky because I think one of his best shots of the night struck the crossbar, could have had 2 to pull farther ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted May 18, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted May 18, 2019 Zlatan Ibrahimovic: LA Galaxy striker banned for grabbing keeper by neck LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been banned for two games after grabbing an opposition goalkeeper by the neck. Former Sweden forward Ibrahimovic, 37, and New York City goalkeeper Sean Johnson were both booked after wrestling each other to the floor during the incident last Saturday. Major League Soccer announced on Friday it was punishing Ibrahimovic for "violent conduct". New York City won the game 2-0. The incident took place in the 86th minute with both of New York's goals coming in the first half. "Zlatan is a talented player - he obviously knows what he is doing. He is a clever boy and you know, it is a part of the game," Johnson said after the match. "I would be frustrated if I were him too, you know. Can't blame him for his frustration at that point in the game." It is not the first time this month former Manchester United player Ibrahimovic has faced retrospective action, having been fined for diving during Galaxy's defeat by Columbus Crew on 9 May. He was also accused of threatening to hurt Real Salt Lake defender Nedum Onuoha, who said a lot of people were "scared" of Ibrahimovic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48319620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Ibra is suspended for his actions against Sean Johnson, and Vela scores again. This race might be over next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Barco comes back, Josef will score even more goal as Pity and him are looking like they are getting more accustomed to playing with one another, and we have a TON of attacking options, leaving us with a ton of chances on goal.

MVP!! MVP Meanwhile Ruidiaz 10 games 6 goals 1 assist. 6 goals in 10 games is not a bad total, but you keep comparing Vela to someone who has been injured most of the season. Once again, stop talking shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I reckon Ruidiaz will sneak into that top 5. If he wasn't injured he'd be competing for second (I think Vela's form can't really be disputed) but now that he's scoring a goal per game,. I think he'll finish 5th or 4th in the goalscoring charts.

Eco Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 I seriously wish the MLS would disallow the type of pitch that NYCFC plays on. Such a bad showing and a truly awful place to watch a game. 0-0 thus far. Massive game tonight with Atlanta traveling to LA to take on Vela. Can't help but appreciate LAFC as they mimiced what we did starting a franchise and it's working to perfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
