New York City hits the road for the next two weeks. The Blues seek their second win of the season. It cannot come soon enough. After a wild 4-3 win over the Chicago Fire jolted the season into life, New York City came home, looking to keep winning.
Instead, a four-game home-stand featured three draws and a loss sandwiched in between. The early optimism engendered by that victory? Curdled now into cynicism and gloom. Gone are the days when New York City fans would dance in the streets in joy, regardless of the result on the field. Jeers, not cheers, cascaded resoundingly from fans after Sunday's scoreless draw against Chicago.
