What changes in the style of play and philosophy has new Head Coach Patrick Vieira brought to NYCFC?
The biggest change we have seen from Vieira is his dedication to sticking with a style. Whereas previous coach Jason Kreis often tinkered with lineups and formations to try and find a setup that worked, Vieira has more or less stayed true to playing by building out of the back regardless of the opposition.
