"The first goal in the game is a massive thing in our sport." Pascal Jansen said it after Columbus. The Pigeons proved it again in Charlotte. @kevinnelson.theoutfield.nyc and @justinegan.theoutfield.nyc look at how early goals for NYCFC led to two victories: www.theoutfield.nyc/p/the-first-...

The First Goal Is a Massive Thing
A week ago, the Pigeons were mired in one of MLS's ugliest runs. Now they have two straight wins, and getting on the board first made both possible.

Watching NYCFC is turning into an unpleasant experience. As the team struggles, Pascal Jansen is bringing them deeper into the mire with a control-first approach that we’ve seen tried and failed many times before in MLS.

Pascal Jansen is sitting Parks, Magno, and Reid, three of NYCFC's five best attacking players by npxG/96, in favor of a midfield and attack that doesn't work. @paulharvey.theoutfield.nyc on how NYCFC is choking away the easiest stretch of their season: www.theoutfield.nyc/p/control-fr...

"Rather than settling into possession, NYCFC regularly cleared to the halfway line, where St. Louis reclaimed the ball and reinitiated their attack. The average length of NYCFC possession chains cratered from 10.7 passing/shooting actions pre-goal to 5.8 afterward."

In looking into the latest NYCFC game, came across some data that the Pigeons may alter their approach to possession more than most when leading by a goal in the Pascal Jansen era. They did so again vs. St. Louis and it cost them, read more words at @theoutfield.nyc!
