NYCFC 3 - Montreal 1. Another Canadian opponent on Wednesday.
If we do that again on wednesday we might actually win.Well, that was 30 minutes of interesting soccer and wrestling.
Yeah, didn't really felt like we looked good, but the team did play well enough to get 3 points I guess.
I thought Gary had one of his best games, which isn't saying a whole lot. He can strike the ball well with his left so I liked seeing him take those distance chances when Montreal gave him space to do so.
Really wasn't sure what the Montreal keeper was doing on our first. He took himself way out of the play without really even taking away another option. But it was a good finish by Jesus, need to give him some credit there.
It seemed like Maxi was out of sync with several players. Noticed this between him and Gary a few times. Noticed Maxi and Keaton getting into the same spaces a few times. Hopefully that'll get sorted out the more Maxi plays.
I'm curious as to if the original gameplan was to play Maxi as long as he did. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to join the postgame to ask Ronny about it, but I assumed the plan was to play Maxi 60 minutes or so. Perhaps as we struggled to convert chances and with limited options off the bench, Ronny decided to let Maxi play a bit longer. But it'll be an interesting item to monitor this week. Two more games in the next seven, and while we get Taty back, I'd be surprised if Isi comes back before the Red Bulls game unless all of a sudden his test results are reversed.
