Let me ask you this. Let’s say Pep Guardiola stepped down from Mnachester City after finishing second in the Premier League this season. A replacement is named down the road and in his first 6 competitive games, they only won twice against an obscure team in continental competition with your other four games all ending in clean sheet defeats. Would you expect that person to keep their job? Probably not.
This is the scrutiny that Ronny Deila has set himself up for. Following their 1-0 defeat this morning at the hands of the Philadelphia Union in their debut in the MLS is Back Tournament, New York City FC have played a total of six competitive games in 2020 and have disappointed more than they’ve satisfied.
