Here is what I thought of New York City FC’s poor performance in a 3-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo:

First Half

1’: I still don’t know who’s starting where

2’: Yikes.

14’: Losing Yangel Herrera could hurt. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery.

21’: Welp.

38’: NYCFC have become completely lethargic in the latter stage of this half

45’+1: C’mon, Tinnerholm.
