If Crew SC falters today at the Chicago Fire, it will enter the season’s second month without a point.
That would seem a precipitous fall for a team that played host to the MLS Cup final in December. But even though the Crew is 0-2, it’s not cause for coach Gregg Berhalter to dust off his magnifying glass.
“It’s still seeing the big picture, and the big picture is that we’ve played some pretty good soccer in these games,” Berhalter said.
Good, not great. So “we still need to improve,” Berhalter said.
To say his team has played well despite its results is not simply damage control.
