New York City FC is struggling

Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Columbus Crew SC was dispiriting for New York City FC, another underwhelming result despite being the better side on the field for much of the match. It has become a sobering reality for an NYCFC team that has not played as well as expected over the past month.

New York City FC has lost three of their last five games as they’ve struggled with depth issues due to recent international call-ups.
