mogging?

he's legit but god I hate that Wells has him on the wing.

And I'd bet my retirement that Iloski's got the highest goal contributions/90 out of everybody on this list over any 2-year span.

If Tapia simply squares this Columbus win 3-2. Because he was unconscionably selfish they lose 3-2.

lmao

Here's a new one: MLSsoccer lists Agustin Ojeda with 11 assists on the year. Fotmob lists him with 10. Transfermarkt lists him with 13. I'm tired, boss.

Arch plays like he has brain damage. I’ve never seen a less “coach’s kid” coded QB.

Things that probably only I care about: The Union are 53 minutes shy of the single-season franchise high for Homegrown minutes in a season in all comps. They're at 9,979. Record is 10,032 in 2024. Franchise high in MLS play is 7,973 from 2024. Union are about 400 shy of that

Oh and also none of the young players have improved, and while the Bénie Traoré purchase number was ridiculous – he was never going to be worth $9m – he's also almost certainly not as poor as he's looked. So, player integration hasn't been great, either.

So they are now worse at controlling games b/c of the Maxi to Nico downgrade in that regard, and they are worse at creating chances b/c Nico's now tasked with pitch control instead of attack/creation. Just a really, really bad job from the NYCFC coach this season.

Obviously it's a horrible mistake from Freese first and foremost, but Jansen's emphasized control over everything else this year, and while that was understandable when Maxi was the 10, Nico's a totally different kind of midfielder. And Jansen's never adjusted in any meaningful way.
