Coming off of a tough 2-0 loss in Texas, D.C. United returned to training intent on improvement. United were distinctly second best throughout their loss at FC Dallas, and given the club’s recent form, there was little room for a positive spin on a disappointing performance at training on Tuesday.
“An extremely poor performance. In particular, the first 20 minutes,” said head coach Ben Olsen. “I’ve stated very clearly during and after the game, and reiterated it again: some of the lack of aggression, our mentality, was just not good enough. But it’s done now, and we’re looking forward to playing at Audi Field in front of our crowd with a chance to respond [to] what was not the best performance from us.
