Where have they got these defenders from? Ffs I have seen much better at National North Level.I know the budget is spent sparingly on defences over there but NYCFC are taking the piss with these 2 Centre Backs, awful players.
Angelino/ Facey went there but maybe with the new man in place they might request a couple more.

Firstly, the average standard of defender is pretty low out there.
Secondly, most teams have their best players (the designated players) up front against these players.
Lastly, as we've seen with City in 16/17, Liverpool prior to last year under Klopp, and many more teams; playing a very high risk kind of attacking game generally requires the players in those teams to be of a certain standard. Otherwise, it can go awfully, and massively expose whoever is in your defence.
Put all these together, and boom.

All good points - you also should add that the quality of the league has to be in question when Bradley Wright Phillips is a legend!You have to take into consideration a couple of things.

In fairness any league where Altidore is DP worthy is maybe not ready for the Torrent/Guardiola version of football.All good points - you also should add that the quality of the league has to be in question when Bradley Wright Phillips is a legend!
