New York City FC’s struggles continue with 8 games without a win

New York City FC is experiencing its worst moment in the current stretch of the 2023 MLS season, in which reached eight games without being able to win after a goalless draw against the New England Revolution that remains at the top of the standings after completing matchday 16.

The team led by the British Nick Cushing has not been able to rediscover its best version this season and they have not managed a victory since April 22 when they defeated Dallas FC 3-1 at home. Since then they have recorded six losses, including one in the Open Cup against Cincinnati FC, and two draws.

The New York team once again made use of their great control of the ball, but they also failed again in their precision when attacking, and that is in the 90 minutes they took 17 shots but only two were in the direction of the goal. They also missed two clear opportunities to open the scoring.

The ‘City’ coach did what was in his hands and modified his line-up for the second half by bringing in the Brazilian Talles Magno for Richard Ledezma, Mijta Ilenic for Stephen Turnbull, Matias Pellegrini for Gabriel Pereira and Tony Alfaro for Keaton Parks, without embargo, they could not influence to change the result.

To add to the drama of one more match without a win, New York City saw the expulsion of the winger Braian Cufré in the minute 90 + 2, something that made it even more difficult to maintain the result in the twilight of the game, which in itself was bad.

With the extension of this losing streak of games without a win and the fact that the team went from being in the ‘playoffs’ qualifying positions to being in position number 12, It seems to be a matter of time before the board of directors announces the dismissal of Cushing, who took over the reins of the team in February 2020. and who already knows what it is to be a champion in New York.
