Jefferson Mena is, by all accounts, a perfectly good dude.
He just isn’t good enough at his job to justify a regular spot with New York City FC.
This is obvious to me. Maybe to you as well. But Patrick Vieira isn’t getting the memo: Sunday’s combination waking nightmare / walking disaster at Gillette Stadium at the hands of New England was as lamentable as it was in large part due to yet another hapless performance from the former Independiente Medellin defender.
WhoScored.com rated Mena at a 6.01 for the match, startlingly poor on their standard (he also hit that dubious mark in July’s 3-1 loss to Sporting KC).
