Five things we took from our 3-1 loss in Atlanta…
Jack Harrison represents the future
One of the few players to emerge with any credit from last season’s forgettable defeat to Red Bulls, Jack Harrison again showed the kind of spirit that Patrick Vieira loves.
Again, in adversity, Harrison shone and it was no coincidence that he was the player who gave NYCFC some hope late in the game.
An exciting talent who will get better and better under Vieira’s leadership.
Sometimes long is OK…?
The high press has worked well for NYCFC this season but Atlanta were also quick to close down with their pacey attackers.
