Special Saturday edition of The Week in Tweets brought to you by me having a vacation day yesterday. Want to see your tweets here? Hit us up at @PhillySoccerPg and say something worthwhile.
That mess in New England
@phillysoccerpg Our midfield is a joke. Letoux is not a wing, Cruz at BEST an energy sub, Carroll is serviceable at best.

@phillysoccerpg Casey has been everywhere tonight
— Gustavo Covert (@Saltzmonster) August 25, 2013
@phillysoccerpg It’s bizzaro Union before jack mack is in the box screaming for passes, now the passes are there and no one is in the box
— Bill farrar (@sievetronix) August 26, 2013
Still won’t use it somehow. RT @phillysoccerpg: Remember when Hack said he was looking for a place to play Kleberson? Welcome to that place.
— Joel Hoover (@JoelHoover) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Earlier when Fagundez did that backheel pass that just laid there Keon just ignored the ball sitting there and waited.

@phillysoccerpg This single-striker formation is officially not working. Neither is our midfield.
— John Shields (@peppwave) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg hard to not to think of the conspiracy that the Union will benefit from Kleberson not being successful in Philly.
— John Mansor (@jmansor) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg is it a given that we are taking the most creative attacking center mid with the draft pick we got from chivas?
— Shane Dungan (@Shane_Dungan4L) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg the turnover shape. Appears to be doing the name proud…
— Jeremy Pruski (@BiCski) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg it’s the “one hour after Taco Bell” formation
— Richard McGovern (@RichardMcGovern) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg it’s called the hackworth. The shape that no one knows.
— Phil Naegely (@PNaegelyRS) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg You could make a compelling case to fire Hackworth based solely on the team selection and tactics of that 45 minutes.
— John Davis (@jjdavis1213) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Williams playing more mid than def…no idea where Cruz letoux lahoud are playing
— papapapaul (@papapapaul) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Has there been anything NOT dreadful tonight from anyone?
— Justin (@Celt1997) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Casey is our best CAM
— ps8 (@PhilSoc8) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg our team is an hourglass. Strong up top and in the back with a bottleneck in the middle. Success thus far despite MF play
— Alex Swift (@Alexswift59) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg does anyone on the Union bench have a white flag? #waveit
— Paul Costa (@Oreland827) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg Well that or that team was as organized as a U-6 game. Fullbacks were playing as wingers all game we had a back 2.
— Sean M. Figgins (@SeanMFiggins) August 26, 2013
@phillysoccerpg I blame coaching. All the tactical breakdowns point to one thing.
— Johnny (@jaydubz88) August 26, 2013
Not many player tweets about the game in NE
Still in a position to succeed…still in the same spot as many other teams…back at it this week for a big game @PPLPark
— Danny Cruz (@Dannycruz5) August 26, 2013
Jimmy McLaughlin returns
Thanks to the City Islanders organization and family for everything over the last couple months. I’m very thankful for the experience.
