Evaluating Ulises Segura’s 2019 performance for D.C. United is really about context. If a hypothetical United fan up until last winter missed the entire season, and I told said hypothetical fan (for fun, I’m picturing this person spent the year working in Antarctica) that Segura provided hard work, versatility across multiple formations, and a modest 3 goals/2 assists on the year, the reaction would be “yeah, that sounds right.”
However, that response might change once we throw in the context that Segura played in 33 games, and ended up a starter in 17 of D.
