New York City FC coach Patrick Vieira was left frustrated after his side again failed to win at home in the 1-1 draw with the New England Revolution on Saturday.

Tommy McNamara opened the scoring for NYCFC but a deflected free kick from Chris Tierney levelled the scores and Vieira's side could not find a winner despite the sending off of the Revs' Gershon Koffie in the 51st minute.

"When you analyze properly, we are happy with the point we take tonight because I think New England deserved more from the game because they create better chances than we did," Vieira told MLSsoccer.

"Of course, it is something we need to work on because three games at home, two points is not good enough for a football club like New York City.

"We played with a little bit lack of a personality and we didn't make proper decisions. We didn't play. We didn't play at all. When you don't play it's difficult to expect something from the game."

NYCFC captain David Villa echoed those sentiments, claiming that he was actually happier after the 1-0 defeat to Orlando on March 18.

"We didn't play well today. We had a bad game," he said. "Things didn't come out as we wanted them to. When you get one point, it's always better than getting none, but I was a lot happier after the game against Orlando."
