Jon Jansen and Joe Tansey break down the issues from the Philadelphia Union's 6-0 loss to Pachuca and how the club moves forward for the rest of the 2024 season.
Flach missing is so big for this club. He saved the team so many times with his defensive work. He gets a torn by fans because he doesn't make "stat sheet" plays.
Uhre definitely deserves some criticism for his finishing ability, but what service did he have on Tuesday? This team cannot function with one striker on the field. He works hard and is making great runs for Quinn in front of the net. Is he perfect? No.
The fact that this team has to change formation because one striker is out should be a clear indicator that the depth stinks.
I also agree with Gazdag. He becomes invisible in too many games. I don't know if this is a game plan within the squad, but he plays almost as a 3rd striker sometimes. I don't know if that is on purpose with McGlynn in the lineup and he can distribute the ball, but it's concerning nevertheless.
