saw it, they were awful, they need new people in every position, they have been lucky this season, but when they play the bulls they just fall apart.
sack the manager :005:

Just 11 blokes wearing the same shirt really. Very poor. Not sure it helped Lampard coming on at 0-5 down.
I am convinced that NYCFC are not helped by the fact that they have to play at the Yankee baseball stadium where the constraints of the arena mean the pitch is very narrow (in fact I am not sure it actually makes the correct FIFA approved width measurement if I recall - presumably they have been given special dispensation). Crowds the play and allows more experienced - in MLS terms - teams to pressure them. They certainly made enough mistakes in this game.
Patrick Viera needs to get a grip of them big time.

This discussion board seems to sum things up....

NYCFC pitch is 106m X 68m (FIFA stipulate 110m X 70m minimum but I bet the referee doesn't carry a tape measure before the game)
A condensed pitch is not the best for sides wanting to play possession style. That said most of the comedy goals given away against red bulls seemed to come from corners!
