NYCFC sits 8th in MLS with an 8-8-9 record. Matt Freese has been stellar with five saves in multiple games, while Nicolás Fernández leads scoring with 14 goals. Thiago Martins controlled the midfield with 90 accurate passes against LA Galaxy. James Sands sparked the team with a goal clearance and strike against New England. The hosts discuss if Freese is masking defensive issues and predict a first-round playoff exit due to defensive vulnerabilities.
