It isn't time to hit the panic button, but it couldn't hurt to start giving it a look or two.
Even after returning to the 4-2-3-1 formation to placate the struggling Bradley Wright-Phillips and Sacha Kljestan, the Red Bulls still couldn't get more than a handful of decent chances - let along shots on goal.
Mistakes plagued the defense again, though a strong effort from Luis Robles kept the game close in the second half.
And the cherry on top was that Jesse Marsch proved too timid to use his third sub either to give someone a chance or pull a struggling player, which could have helped in the final minutes when the team finally found some chances.
