Going on form alone, New York City FC is not in a good place right now. They haven’t defeated a playoff team since July 14, and since Ilsinho put Ronald Matarrita in the spin cycle and gave Ben the night Sweat-s, the City Group-funded club has but a single win, and that came over lowly Chicago.
But before you dismiss NYC, back that sass up because the Union could be the first team since late May to face the baseball-based Light Blues at full strength.
Dome Torrent has now been in charge of NYC for 18 matches and during that time he has had the services of his three best players for exactly zero minutes.
