Nico “Nick Horse” Cavallo gets his first 🐎 comes after some patience using the other Nico to play through two players, the rest is a great team verticals carve up
TAYVON LASER LORDY he LOVES scoring bangers on that net huh
…calling a foul when you give advantage that led to a shot on target? hello? thank goodness Matt Freese is incredible ([redacted][redacted])
glad Max Murray is starting so he can carry Ojeda on his shoulders for set pieces aka “the Ent strategy”
Press Release: NYCFC Signs Joāo Loiola to a Short-Term Agreement from NYCFC II. I wouldn't be surprised if Loiola started tonight's match. I asked Todd Dunivant if the League's Cup was one of the opportunities that he had identified to get him minutes with the first team and this was his response:

New York City FC captain Thiago Martins will not be available for Santos Laguna on Thursday. Minor hamstring strain. Kevin O'Toole and Keaton Parks are back in full training. #NYCFC #LeaguesCup #MLS #LigaMX #SantosLaguna
Very quick yellow card shown to Nico Fernández Mercau here at the 18th minute for kicking the ball away and delaying a restart (3rd yellow of the match shown already by ref Ramy Touchan). Nico now suspended for NYCFC's next MLS match for accumulation
Nico Fernandez has more goals than Messi and wasn’t an all star or all star alternative lmao

Nico Fernandez is the best non-messi player in MLS
Interesting response from Malachi Jones today on how playing with Nico Fernandez Mercau at the 10 vs the 9 impacts Malachi's role and how he wants to play. Noted the opportunity to now stay wide and take fullbacks one-on-one vs having to fill in centrally.
Coach Pascal Jansen says Maximo Carrizo will continue to be the back-up at LB while Kevin O’Toole makes his recovery the two made the decision to in conversation over the break and Maximo “worked really really hard” to make that spot his (sub was a fresh legs sub, not injury)
BLUE BALLS NYCFC@blueballspod.bsky.social · 3w agoMaximo Carrizo comes in at… LB 🥴
Coach Pascal Jansen says it was tough for Benie Traore to find rhythm and chemistry in his debut due to being on the road against a possession heavy team, but adds that given the circumstances “it was a good start” Traore currently on a 60’ min restriction as he ramps up
OKAY GET RID OF THE LAST TWO MINUTES OF EVERY MATCH AND HES FAR AND AWAY DPOTY OK?
BLUE BALLS NYCFC@blueballspod.bsky.social · 3w agomls is back which means angry all over again about Thiago Martins not being an all star - should be in the DPOTY race if he keeps it up
one of the most composed and smart moves we’ve seen from Talles Magno in a very long time in that run of play and assist 🪄
somehow Nico Fernandez has found a way to come back from the world cup break even better
Definitely seeing “nearing end of first half after two months off” level of heavy leg decisions
