"The first goal in the game is a massive thing in our sport." Pascal Jansen said it after Columbus. The Pigeons proved it again in Charlotte. @kevinnelson.theoutfield.nyc and @justinegan.theoutfield.nyc look at how early goals for NYCFC led to two victories: www.theoutfield.nyc/p/the-first-...
The First Goal Is a Massive Thing
A week ago, the Pigeons were mired in one of MLS's ugliest runs. Now they have two straight wins, and getting on the board first made both possible.

Really hoping people resonate with The Replacements like I do for the latest at @theoutfield.nyc. Looked into the loss to Montreal, how it fits into NYCFC’s nightmarish six-game winless stretch, and why Keanu Reeves describes it best. www.theoutfield.nyc/p/quicksand

NYCFC’s 1-0 loss to Montréal extends a six-game winless run that has turned the league’s most promising start into its most alarming stumble.

After a hot start, #NYCFC is now winless in their last six league games. But, @kevinnelson.theoutfield.nyc writes, while the results have turned, the starting lineup has not. www.theoutfield.nyc/p/quicksand

NYCFC and FC Cincinnati combined for eight goals with defensive ineptitude rather than attacking prowess. @kevinnelson.theoutfield.nyc analyzed the matchup between two defenses trying to one up each other in the worst ways. www.theoutfield.nyc/p/nobody-won...
Nobody Won This Game
Both NYCFC and Cincinnati’s defense worked hard to lose this one.

If NYCFC wants to be a contender this season in MLS, they have some more work to do. @kevinnelson.theoutfield.nyc looks at what went right and what went wrong against Inter Miami and Messi. www.theoutfield.nyc/p/short-kings
Short Kings
Nico Fernández Mercau and Maxi Moralez kept NYCFC competitive with individual moments of brilliance, but it wasn’t enough against Messi.

NYCFC usually dominates possession, but last week the Pigeons surrendered nearly 60% of the ball & still won convincingly by pressing Colorado into submission. @kevinnelson.theoutfield.nyc on how Pascal Jansen is one of MLS's most stylistically diverse managers: www.theoutfield.nyc/p/knock-your...

Colorado’s possession philosophy didn’t survive contact with Jansen’s press.
