Black and Red United: What formations and tactics should D.C. United fans watch for?
Bridget McDowell, E Pluribus Loonum: Adrian Heath’s 4-2-3-1 has seen some changes in terms of personnel but continues to rely on counter attacks down the wing and balls served in from long range. Yellow card accumulation has been an issue for the Loons’ midfield this season which may have led, in part, to a new focus on short, one-time passes — a tactic severely lacking in Heath’s system in recent years.
