Despite busy week, NYCFC remain committed to the three-back

OK, this is good.

One of New York City FC’s biggest problems since being taken over by manager Domé Torrent has been a lack of a consistent approach to games. Unlike previous manager Patrick Vieira, who utilized a meticulously micromanaged 4-3-3, Domé seems to have been much more of a tinkerer on a game-by-game basis. In some matchups, perhaps he was justified. In others, however, it has been at the cost of fluidity and a firm idea as to what to do next on the pitch.

This has changed recently.

Starting with their 3-3 draw game against Minnesota United on April 13, NYCFC have implemented a three-back system and haven’t looked back.
