What will Aiden O’Neill bring to NYCFC? 🥇Ball-winning 🚂 High-press engine 📏 Bangers from distance 🗯️Locker room leader More from @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc: www.theoutfield.nyc/p/a-roo-in-b...

From Burnley to Belgium to the Bronx: Aiden O’Neill’s journey to NYCFC is wild—and @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc looks at he how he might be exactly what this midfield needs. www.theoutfield.nyc/p/a-roo-in-b...

knickstape 🗽😎🤝

three points is three points but you couldn’t visualize a worse “🕯️prayer circle🕯️” offense if you tried like .5ish npxG 🥴

Big result for NYCFC today. Didn’t have to be pretty, it just needed to be three points. A windy, gritty afternoon north of the boarder coming out with a first road win of the season feels great. Idk how exactly this squad is gonna survive until the summer window but W’s like this certainly help

that penalty a culmination of a good half of Wolf/Alonso finally figuring out some things together

whatever you think of Cushing, he was spot on when he called Tayvon the best 1v1 defender in the league even after a long spell injured, he’s back without missing a step defensively

HT: NYCFC defense is holding strong but the attack once again seems to be without ideas and has just a 0.11 xG What does Pascal do to get his first road win of the year/in MLS/in Canada

NYCFC need to start figuring things out in the final third in this half, gonna be a much tougher task in the second half against the wind 😳🌬️

NYCFC makes the Aiden O'Neill signing official. Shouldn't have taken so long to replace James Sands but a ball-winning midfielder that can progress the ball with leadership and intangibles is something that fulfills a big need.

a player that describes themselves as "quite australian" is hard to hate

Ouch. NYCFC get pinned as the “worst window” in MLS by Backheeled, and i can’t really disagree… A great read as always, and hits a lot of the same notes we sang on @hrbpod.bsky.social this week Excited about O’Neill, but with the cash and roster flexibility we had we showed very little ambition

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI 🇦🇺🐨🦘

team could’ve doomed their season with 8 games in may and a severe lack of players w/ solid floor this certainly could help, but just a bucket to bail out water while waiting til summer to patch the leak do however look forward to the pure aussie-ness of O’Neill 🇦🇺🐨🦘

Update on Aiden O’Neill, the rumored #NYCFC transfer target who’s been missing from the last 2 Standard Liege matchday squads and whose manager recently addressed his possible departure

KDB name dropping Ferran as one of the people giving him the pink slip certainly clarifies Tenorio/Pablo’s report in the Athletic of the “current state of affairs” that could interfere with NYCFC’s chances of landing him 🥴

checking in on MD “would’ve been a decimal on the balance sheet we let go on a free” Myers for no particular reason

trying new recipes is always fun not leaving them in the oven long enough… don’t be surprised if they taste like dookie !

KP certainly helps mid-defensive organization, but really let’s just get Tayvon on there as some kindling

G+ for USMNT eligible players in MLS this season: 1. Brian White T2. Keaton Parks T2. Djordje Mihailovic

Keaton Parks has talked in the past about how he likes to draw defenders in to help create space elsewhere. Against Philly, that skill helps create the space for Mitja Ilenic to pick out Alonso Martinez for the game-winning goal

Match 8 vs. Philadelphia by @roryki.bsky.social: "Don't Mind Me!" www.theoutfield.nyc/p/dont-mind-me

NEW, on @theathleticfc.bsky.social: DC United are one of four MLS teams (Chicago, NYCFC and Inter Miami being the others) that have expressed interest in signing Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne. Reporting w/@paultenorio.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/628...

just because Fabrizio only named Chicago doesn't mean they're the only MLS team with an offer...

we outside, and we love you perverts

lulled em to sleep for 55mins then threw their bed out the window

Tayvon did the Ja Morant grenade celebration in warmups we desperately missed him

Hope. Hype. Harsh Truths. #NYCFC is seven games in—and we’ve got thoughts. Jansen’s raised the bar, but is the team good enough? From Ojeda & Julian to GAM hoarding to De Bruyne dreams: it’s all in this edition of Pigeon Post www.theoutfield.nyc/p/pigeon-pos...

Andrés Perea and Nico Cavallo no longer listed on the injury report; might #NYCFC *not* have 2 goalkeepers listed as available subs on the bench tomorrow? Didn’t think that was allowed

NYCFC COO Jennifer O'Sullivan gave an update last night on the stadium progress to Queens CB7. - still scheduled for 2027 opening - all 1,300+ below ground piles complete - next phase includes underground utilities, excavation, foundation and prep for steel structural components coming in the summer
