After New York City FC’s opening weekend loss to Orlando City, gaffer Patrick Vieira bemoaned the fact that his team created enough chances to snatch the points, but simply lacked ruthlessness in front of goal to get the job done. In a way, we solemnly agree. But we’re also compelled to respectfully assert that there are many ways to be ruthless that have nothing at all to do with the attacking third.
To wit: throughout the season, we want to keep a running tally of the most ruthless operators NYCFC has to offer. We’re talking about all forms of ruthlessness, from opportunistic goals to bruising tackles to psychological mind games, plus every brutally demoralizing thing in between.
