Ultimately NYCFC lost their semifinal match to the eventual champions. That might not dampen the pain of the 5-1 loss in the Eastern Conference Final but it is a reminder of the success new coach Pascal Jansen had with the club in his first year.
Now enter a new Chief Soccer Officer in Todd Dunivant.
This week Mike Anderer, J.R. diBart and Mike Allen discuss what they know about the new CSO and also look at how he will impact NYCFC.

2025-12-101h 31Blue City Radio PodcastHazy Shade Of Winter / Ep 521 / Blue City RadioThe Eastern Conference Final
For most of the 2025 season a big talking point about NYCFC was the young average age of the squad. These weren’t players in their prime. That changed in summer with the additions of Aiden O’Neill, Nicolas Fernandez Mercau and Raul Gustavo. Even with those players coming in and helping the club reach another Eastern Conference Final it was not shocking to hear head coach, Pascal Jansen, lecture the team on naivete following the 5-1 loss in Fort Lauderdale.

2025-12-031h 26Blue City Radio PodcastYou Talk Too Much / Ep 519 / Blue City RadioNYCFC Advance To the Eastern Conference Semi-Final
NYCFC is a team that knows how to handle adversity. Their legacy began with the club’s second biggest signing missing the first half of their debut season. Their championship season was marked with two key season-ending injuries. Last year breakout rookie star, Malachi Jones, suffered a severe injury mid-season that he still has yet to return from. Despite all of these moments, the team rises, the team comes together and the bond grows.
Friday night was another of those moments as midfielder Andres Perea would land awkwardly breaki...

NYCFC had a golden opportunity to defeat the team ahead of them in the standings and advance to the second round of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Unfortunately the result did not go their way and while it is easy to blame the two young players that missed their penalty kick chances the coach was more focused on why it was not decided in regulation. That leadership is what hopefully will give NYCFC the advantage they need on Friday night in Charlotte.

As we watch NYCFC play it’s eleventh season in MLS we thought it would be a perfect time to capture some memories of the first ten years. During the beginning of this season Mike Anderer sat down with some notable fans and friends to hear their stories about the growth of the team. Featured in these episodes are Jon Sanchez, Andy Bajana, Trey Fillmore, Christian Polanco, Chelsea Socias, Gretta Fernandez, Deron Jenkins, Danny Chediak, Brenda Picinic and Karol Lamb.

Pascal Jansen did not mince words in his post game press conference following the 2-1 loss for NYCFC against last place, DC United. He called out his team saying the “attack was not good enough”.
Yes, DC capitalized on two key moments, but it was the lack of creativity and chances that lead to the home loss. Remiscient of Ronny Deila’s infamous, “I’d rather win 5-4 than 1-0” quote, Jansen thinks his team should be able to score more than one goal against a team that came into Yankee Stadium with the worst goal diffe...

Are the other teams in MLS sleeping on NYCFC? That was the debate happening after NYCFC walked into TQL Stadium and took three points from FC Cincinnati and helped de-throne the Supporter’s Shield leaders on Saturday night.
Mike Anderer, J.R. diBart and Mike Allen share their opposing views on the subject. They discuss the emergence of Alonso Martinez and what that means for his value as a striker and also discuss what they feel are the top non-PK goals in club history.

The weather delay on Sunday at Yankee Stadium was not as bad as the delay from August 11, 2021 but don’t tell that to the fans that waited over an hour and twenty minutes before plays late in the first half of NYCFC’s victory over Nashville SC.
It was also the second game in a row that NYCFC players scuffled with their opponent. This time it was Alonso Martinez running about 40 yards to come to his teammate’s defense.

This week J.R. diBart, Mike Allen and Mike Anderer review the Leagues Cup from an NYCFC perspective. They talk about the identity of this club and their willingness to fight for each other. And where are the signings? Where is the help for Pascal Jansen?

2025-07-151h 18Blue City Radio PodcastThe Canadian Dream (Nightmare) / Ep 502 / Blue City RadioEpisode 502:
This week was a tough one for the odds makers. CF Montreal had not won a home game all season long. NYCFC is notoriously bad as a road team and had already handed CF Montreal one of their few victories this season. CF Montreal was missing seven players to international duty and NYCFC was missing their striker and starting keeper. Then, if it wasn’t difficult enough for the Vegas bookies, two days before the match it was announced that NYCFC head coach, Pascal Jansen, had to return to Europe for a family emergency.

And with NYCFC sitting at 6th in the east, we've got good reason!

2025-05-271h 06Blue City Radio PodcastCooking With Pascal / Ep 496 / Blue City RadioEpisode 496:
FC Cincinnati entered CitiField on a five game winning streak and second in the MLS Supporter’s Shield standings. NYCFC have struggled for consistency both on the road and at home. This was not a match up on paper at least that filled NYCFC fans with confidence. Enter Pascal Jansen and his tactical acumen.
This week the two Mikes, Anderer and Allen, look at the challenges facing this team with the nagging injury to Keaton Parks, but also with the inability for any winger to lock in their starting role.
2025-05-061h 06Blue City Radio PodcastPascal’s First Road Victory / Ep 495 / Blue City RadioEpisode 495:
Credit to Roberto Abramowitz and his Spanish language broadcast team for the statistic that NYCFC did not win any of their first five road games three times in their history: 2015, 2023 and 2025. The huge question is that does Pascal Jansen have what it takes to earn a playoff bid from that position. Jason Kreis and Nick Cushing both failed to reach that goal.
This week Mike and Mike are joined by Christian Smith to discuss the signing of Aiden O’Neill, the victory in Toronto and all things NYCFC.
2025-04-301h 29Blue City Radio PodcastCaptain Obvious / Ep 494 / Blue City RadioEpisode 494:
NYCFC entered Gillette Stadium on Saturday night fresh off a victory against a strong Philadelphia side and hoped to carry that momentum on the road in Foxboro. Unfortunately New England had other thoughts and the performance from NYCFC was simply not good enough as eloquently shared by the captain, “We need to be better.”
The sad part of that quote is that there was no further follow-up given and honestly not even needed. It was poor all around and the team knows it.
This week Mike Anderer, J.R. diBart and Mike Allen take...

Ever since 2021 Philadelphia Union fans have complained about NYCFC’s Championship run. This past week in Queens Pascal Jansen lead the boys in blue past the Union on a cold rainy night in Queens.
The game was also a celebration of Keaton Parks’s 200th performance in all competitions.
This week the guys give their thoughts about Keaton, NYCFC wonder kid, Johnny Shore, and the release of the first set of prices for seats in the new stadium.

One of the most famous names in baseball is Wally Pipp. Ask a true baseball fan and they’ll tell you the story not of Pipp’s success as a player and World Series Champion as a New York Yankee, but about his headache that kept him out of a game on June 2, 1925.
In NYCFC lore there are a few memorable substitutions of note for both good and bad reasons. One of the most negative of those occurred Sunday afternoon when Birk Risa was removed from the match in the 40th minute and replaced by Str...
2025-04-091h 15Blue City Radio PodcastThis Loss Will Hurt For a While / Ep 491 / Blue City RadioEpisode 491:
NYCFC lost on Saturday in Atlanta. That’s not breaking news to anyone who follows the team, but the collapse from the club is indicative of a much bigger issue. David Lee has not given head coach, Pascal Jansen, enough resources to make tactical adjustments necessary to win games. It is that simple.
This week Mike Anderer, J.R. diBart and Mike Allen are back to dive deep into what is happening with NYCFC’s depth deficiency. The trio also give their thoughts on the leadership from captain, Thiago Martins.
2025-04-011h 15Blue City Radio PodcastNYCFC U18 / Ep 490 / Blue City RadioEpisode 490:
Blame it on the injuries. Blame it on the playing during a FIFA window. Blame it on David Lee for not signing any players to replace James Sands, Santi Rodriguez or Jovan Mijatovic.
NYCFC crawled into Lower.com Field on Saturday night to face the Columbus Crew and it was not a prototypical NYCFC game. The team was outshot 24-4 and only had 40% of the ball.

The Revs also have lost the first three games of the 2025 campaign to build upon the streak of losing the last four of 2024.

There was an excitement about NYCFC under Pascal Jansen after last week’s game in Miami. The team played with intensity and was clinical in their finishing.
This past weekend in California the Boys In Blue look to have regressed to resemble their weakest moments under Nick Cushing. There were long stretches of possession that did not result in chances. There were players out of position and a midfield without a talisman to close out the match. It was quintessential 2023 NYCFC.

Just hours before kick-off on Saturday night the team officially announced the departure of midfielder Santi Rodriguez and captain, Thiago Martins, was still recovering from a preseason injury.

As the days remaining to NYCFC’s first game of the season tick away, the squad is getting younger on average thanks to a little addition by subtraction. The pending loss of Santi Rodriguez means an already young team will be even younger with the departure of the veteran midfielder.

In the ten season history of NYCFC, the team had only lost to Montreal twice. Once was in 2020 during the “Covid” season that will forever be tainted by the impact the pandemic had on rosters, venues, and fan support. The second time was in NYCFC’s inaugural season under head coach, Jason Kreis. Back in 2015 NYCFC was a project. It was not well-oiled machine like it’s counterpart in Manchester. But in 2024, already with a championship and an international trophy already in its case, the team should be more than a project. More than a young coach an...
