Squad

Patrick Yazbek breaks a bone — 102 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 102 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

New York City say no — this time

The offer from Chicago Fire for Mamoutou Berthé was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

A brace, and Lautaro Piola takes the afternoon — 8.51

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Lautaro Piola provided it, and the 8.51 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Renato Giordano’s move to FC Cincinnati falls through

The deal that would have taken Renato Giordano to FC Cincinnati has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to New York City with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Market

Charlotte Football Club watching Jonny Shore

The interest is real enough to have reached print. New York City have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Talles Magno in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New York City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

DeAndre Moore has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around New York City they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Match

Lautaro Piola sends New York City past FC Cincinnati

It finished 3‑1, and it was Lautaro Piola’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to New York City.

Squad

Juan Cruz Crisafulli wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and New York City know it.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

25 unbeaten for New York City

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 25 matches without defeat is a foundation New York City did not have in the autumn.

Match

No mercy from New York City

DC United will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. New York City were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Match

New York City make home a hard place to visit

16 without defeat on their own grass. The pitch has not changed; the crowd has — louder earlier, and quicker to sense when the opposition would rather be somewhere else.

Player ratings

Both of them Lautaro Piola's — 8.75

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.75, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

New York City turn down St. Louis CITY SC for Juan Cruz Crisafulli

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Renato Giordano: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” New York City have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Eyes on Mamoutou Berthé again

The phone has started ringing about Mamoutou Berthé again, and this time the name on the line is St. Louis CITY SC. New York City are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

Lucio Cruceño asks to leave New York City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Agustín Ojeda yet — 7.95

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.95 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.
