Sluggish, predictable NYCFC lose to Philadelphia Union, fall out of first place

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results”

For the third time in as many games, New York City FC’s free-flowing style of play was brought to its knees by an opponent that ceded possession, clogged the box, committed fouls, and found a way to score. It should come as a surprise that Philadelphia Union followed this game plan on their way to win 2-1 at home in Subaru Park: It’s what they do, and it’s why they now sit on top of the Eastern Conference with only one loss in 16 games played so far this season.
