Who will be NYCFC’s starting goalkeeper?

For the first time in the short history of New York City FC, the goalkeeper position is up for grabs.

When NYCFC joined MLS in 2015 it was with the deeply mediocre Josh Saunders between the sticks, a goalkeeper who put up some solid numbers at LA Galaxy in 2011 and 2012, but who always looked panicked when playing the Bronx. Saunders directed the defense like a toxic soccer dad who goes to all the away games: His endless screaming put the team on edge, and when NYCFC shipped a goal he pulled off the mental jujitsu of taking it personally and blaming everybody else.
