Rate the U: Tactical switch, squad rotation keeps win streak alive
There was no hat trick hero and the goals were more or less gifted by the visitors but the Philadelphia Union’s comeback win over a tricky and dangerous New England Revolution side may have been the best team win of the season yet.
Returning home for the first time since their 7-0 drubbing of DC United, the Union looked different set up in a 4-2-3-1 but were on the front foot to start buzzing up and down the field with a fluidity in their attack that has been reborn in recent games. That they didn’t find an opener in the first half was a surprise but also no fault of the new look, which created a number of long range shots and disrupted the organized Revs defense.
