New York City FC Head Coach Ronny Deila felt his team simply weren’t sharp enough against D.C. United after a bright start at Audi Field on Saturday.
Speaking to reporters ahead of Saturday's return to the Bronx vs. FC Cincinnati, the Norwegian reflected on a game that promised much in the early exchanges before tipping in the home team's favor. Deila's side took an early lead through Taty Castellanos in the fifteenth minute. Unfortunately, a pair of goals from Brendan Hines-Ike and Russell Canouse gave United a 2-1 win, and left the visiting manager frustrated with his team’s performance.
