The Union can’t score goals. Here are seven suggestions to improve the system the Union play as they work to find chemistry in the attacking third.
Ten games in 47 days starting with RSL on Saturday. We break down how the Union have done in 2011 on short rest and make a half-hearted prediction for how they will fare over the remaining games.
With the back four again without a starter for the match in RSL, we look at the different back fours the Union has used this season. From the back four with Harvey, to the back line with Garfan – and the different makeshift back lines and more in between – the focus is on the defense. Is fatigue becoming a factor?
Peter Nowak’s tinkering with lineups can be maddening, but he could have the last laugh if it pays off over the Union’s upcoming three-game stretch. PSP explains.
Hurricane Irene gave the Union a chance to rest and reflect on their next five games. A series of home and away matchups that will tell us everything we need to know about this team’s playoff chances.
