New York City takes their club-record four game winning streak to Children Mercy Park and tries to make it five games on the spin against Peter Vermes’ club tonight before a national television audience. It’s the club’s third game in eight days, so you wouldn’t fault manager Patrick Vieira for settling just fine with a point, and stretching the club’s lead atop the Eastern Conference to five points.
But a victory, which would stretch that lead to seven points, might even be more satisfying. On Wednesday, Vermes brashly stated that Vieira’s predecessor in New York City, Jason Kreis, would’ve improved the squad just as Vieira has.
