New York City FC is experiencing its worst moment in the current stretch of the 2023 MLS season, in which it reached eight games without being able to win after a goalless draw against New England Revolution, which remains in the top positions of the classification after completing day 16.
The team led by the British Nick Cushing has not been able to rediscover its best version this season and they have not managed a victory since April 22 when they defeated Dallas FC 3-1 at home. Since then they have recorded six losses, including one in the Open Cup against Cincinnati FC, and two draws.
The New York team once again made use of their great control of the ball, but they also failed again in their precision when attacking, and that is that in the 90 minutes they took 17 shots but only two were in the direction of the goal. They also missed two clear opportunities to open the scoring.
The ‘City’ coach did what was in his hands and modified his line-up for the second half by bringing in the Brazilian Talles Magno for Richard Ledezma, Mijta Ilenic for Stephen Turnbull, Matias Pellegrini for Gabriel Pereira and Tony Alfaro for Keaton Parks, without However, they could not influence to change the result.
To add to the drama of yet another game without a win, New York City saw the expulsion of winger Braian Cufré at minute 90+2, something that made it even more difficult to maintain the result in the twilight of the game, which already in itself It was bad.
With the extension of this losing streak of games without a win and the fact that the team went from being in the ‘playoffs’ qualifying positions to being in position number 12, it seems to be a matter of time before the board of directors announces the dismissal of Cushing, who assumed the reins of the team in February 2020 and who already knows what it is like to be a champion in New York.
