It's starting to look like a challenging situation. The club clearly didn't do enough during the offseason, and now they're facing the consequences of those shortcomings. New England have suffered two defeats in their opening matches of the regular season. After a heavy 4-1 loss to Nashville, they fell 1-0 to the New York Red Bulls.

The first sending-off arguably broke the team’s momentum, and from then on, they were mostly on the defensive. A 0-2 defeat can be considered a stroke of luck. It's important to note that the team’s defensive skills have improved.
