Stumptown Breakdown: Building from the Positives Against New York City FC

Despite the third loss in a row for the Portland Timbers, Sunday's performance against New York City FC, especially the first 60 minutes, was one of the best that the team has put together this season. Last week, we discussed here a team that looked out of sync in the attack. Against Vancouver and Dallas, runs were poorly timed, passing was not crisp, and the decision-making was not up to the usual standard that we hold the team to. On Sunday, taking the result out of consideration, the team looked fluid once again and hopefully it is a sign of more improvements to come.
