Matt Freese wants more than New York City are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Tempers go at New York City

Talles Magno was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Keaton Parks gets it from the manager

Matt Freese: 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.

Nicolás Fernández Mercau 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.

4 matches without a goal for New York City

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

A bad afternoon for New York City against Toronto FC

0‑1 to Toronto FC, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
