When New York City FC found out who they would play in the Leagues Cup, it was thought that they could at least beat Club Puebla. So, when they lost to the Mexican side on Tuesday, it was a little shocking. Alas, the lineup put out can be blamed on the loss. Plus, the Pigeons have unofficially been eliminated from moving on since only the top four teams from each league will make the next round.
Therefore, the question is which direction NYCFC will go in when they face Club León. Will Pascal Jansen accept the fact that he messed up the team’s chance of fighting for the quarterfinals by starting other younger players?
