On the one hand, Atlanta United got totally smoked by the New York Red Bulls on Sunday night. It wasn’t a good result and was another dropped three points at home against one of the best teams in MLS. It is the kind of loss that teams who want to win the Supporter’s Shield don’t have once much less twice. Tata Martino seemed to get the tactics wrong in this one, picking Julian Gressel’s crosses and Miles Robinson’s acceptable defending in a 3-5-2 over Tito Villalba’s speed and shooting with Sal Zizzo’s acceptable right back play in a 4-3-3.
