Piatti the main danger for NYCFC

Ignacio Piatti has been one of the most consistent playmakers in MLS over the past five seasons despite the rapid pace of change in Montreal.
 
He’s scored 60 goals so far for the Canadian side and is sitting on a cool 13 so far this season under new manager Remi Garde.  
 
NYCFC teams of past and present could speak equally well to the danger posed by Piatti. Let’s be sure to keep an eye.

Piatti is the key to Montreal’s most impactful form of attack – the counter. As evidence in their turning of the tide in Philadelphia just a week ago.
 
After going down to the Union 1-0, Montreal counter-attacked their way to a resounding 4-1 victory to stop a surging Union side.
 
Something to be aware of if NYC look to dominate the ball as they have done in previous outings.
