No Place Like Home? NYCFC's Home Field Disadvantage

It's now three weeks after NYCFC's home opener against Toronto FC, and what looked like a promising start has now given way to frustration and overall confusion on the state of the club and how they perform at home. Week 1 saw a barn-burner of a game versus Chicago, where the club won 4-3, and what looked to be a high powered attack has devolved into more of a toothless attack at home. Only 3 goals scored across three matches, with two of them coming in the first half of the home opener. Not only were these the first 3 games the club played at home, it was also 3 games where we saw a very different formation than we did in Chicago and for much of the preseason.
