    With the regular season nearing its end there are a few stats that stick out:

    1. Only 3 other MLS teams have lost more games than NY this season. Who are they?
    • Los Angeles (11)
    • Real Salt Lake (12)
    • Toronto FC (13)

    2. Home form has saved our season. At home NY boasts an 8-3-1 (+13) record. Only Houston, Chivas and DC can claim slightly better home records. Away..we are 3-7-2. (-11) Only Colorado, Toronto, Columbus, LA and RSL are worse on the road.

    3. Against the West 5-4-1 (with games v. LA and RSL remaining)
    Against the East 6-6-2

    Its important to play well in your conference. we are a .500 team in our division

    4. Importance of Jozy...

    • When Jozy starts NY is 8-2-2
    • When Jozy doesnt start NY is 3-8-1

    That Jozy stat is striking. I kind of suspected that was the case.

    That is an interesting stat.

    I can't figure out if it Jozy himself or wether it is just that this team with very little midfield scoring, needs 2 legit strikers up top.

    As I said in another post we are crap without Jozy, I just didn't think the statistics would back me up this much!

    The stats on Jozy become even worse when you factor in that 1 of the losses that NY suffered in which he started was a game that Jozy left when the game was STILL TIED (the recent NE game), and one of the TIES that NY had when Jozy started was a game in which Jozy was subbed out for Wolyniec in the 86th minute with a 3-1 lead, which NY promptly blew in the last 4 minutes (3-3 game with RSL fairly early in the year). By contrast, not a single one of the 8 wins that NY have while Jozy started was a game in which he left the field when the team was tied or losing but they came back after he was gone. In other words, he was on the field the entire time that the team worked up to its lead in the 8 victories. I worked up the stats a couple of weeks back, but Jozy has the highest +/- ratio on the team, by a fairly wide margin. Can't remember the exact numbers now, but Jozy was around a +12 or so, while for comparison JPA was around an even 0 and Reyna around a -7. The kid makes everyone elses job easier.

    Throw league high salary at the kid. Keep him here. Those stats dont lie. And he is going to be a fantastic player if he can stay healthy and with the right mindset.

    a) We're also one win away from being tied with four other teams for second place.

    b) So we're about middle of the pack here and miles better home than away. Shocking, really. You could also look at it as the ESC has helped make Giants Stadium a mighty fortress.*

    c) More to the point, we're 1-4 against DC and New England. Not. Going. Anywhere. We beat up on the weaker Eastern teams.

    d) So damned true. We need Jozy. Someone kidnap Jopzy until the winter transfer window ends. Or frame him in a dog-fighting conspiracy.









    *Don't worry, I couldn't keep a straight face either.

    What place on the table would have us moving out west for the post season? 7? 8?

    Anyone know about this works?

    We lose against DC and NE every year, I'd be happy to get out of the east and try our luck in the other division.

    How about this i just got from Metrofan:
    With Reyna on the field this year, Metro's goal difference is -7. Without him it's +9, a remarkable difference. Compare that to Kovalenko, whose on-the-field number is +6. Vide's is only -4. Stammler, in games he started in midfield, is +6.

    How is this for some sobering stats on our DP?

    Unless Colorado goes on a tear, realistically there will be 5 playoff teams in the east. Number 5 goes to the west.

    That would be where I'd like to finish.

    Go out west and face some good teams, BUT teams we don't have such a negative trend against.

    One mans opinion.

    I was hoping this season we would start to take some of the power back in our division. I really thought the DC and Revs matches were pivitol to change that mentality. Maybe next year.

    None. The teams will be seeded 1 through 8. The top 2 in each conference are in with the last 4 spots being filled by the next 4 highest point totals no matter what conference the teams are from. With Chicago showing some life it's possible 6 teams from the East could make the playoffs.

    Nope. The east team would be seeded fourth in the west regardless of the number of points. If that is Chivas, RB are 0-2
