John Hackworth replaced Peter Nowak as head coach of the Union one year ago. PSP takes a big picture look at the job he has done since then.
John Hackworth wasn’t transformational, but he did transition a team going nowhere into a team with a chance to compete in 2013. Was this achievement enough to earn a full season in charge?
Freddy Adu lived up to the fears more than the hype in 2012, and it’s unlikely he will have a chance at redemption in 2013.
Porfirio Lopez is gone. Here’s his season review.
Being honored by the Sons of Ben with a large banner in River End means you’ve made quite the impression on the Philadelphia Union’s fiercest fans. Doing so during your rookie season is even more impressive.
Jack McInerney proved he has the goods in 2012, but where should the Union play him going forward?
It was a roller coaster rookie season that included a match winning goal against one of Europe’s great clubs, a PPL Park record, and a painful big toe fracture, all the while struggling to get important minutes with the first team.
The converted from the midfield, Farfan is still learning the nuances of positioning as a left back. He’s simply too talented, too committed, and has too much potential to not have a place in the starting XI.
Taking a young player who is still coming into his own and shifting him to a new position could be recipe for disaster. Not for Amobi Okugo.
