Yeah, ok - it wasn’t a meltdown and that headline was a little... clicky. But this is a daily post and if you’re reading it you probably frequent the site anyway, so let me have my fun. That was not a pretty performance from Atlanta United over the weekend. It wasn’t really that bad, but it was lacking in good moments aside from a goal and Andrew Carleton looking like he took a big step forward.
My overall take aways are: you can’t take too much away from a performance where presumably (and that word is doing A LOT of heavy lifting in this sentence) three backups start in defense because this happens:
That’s McCann and Larentowcz and Ambrose all trying to step to Frederico Higuain while Gyasi Zardes and Pedro Santos make runs into the box.
