Offensive Organization
- New York Red Bulls generally prefer to lineup in a 4-2-3-1 formation under Jesse Marsch, but have tried out other systems like 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 on occasion.
- Their style of play is short passing with emphasis on keeping ball possession at their feet and controlling the flow and tempo of games with the ball.
- They like to play with the ball in the opposition half for long periods of time and are direct in the way that they pass the ball once they get into the attacking third of the pitch.
