Takeaways: Strong vets, crowded midfield, and Santos with Steel this weekend

Rolling along on a three match unbeaten streak, Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin had praise for his defense and spoke of a roster crowded with talent. "It was our best performance on the road in terms of expected goals against, I think the lowest number we’ve ever had in club history so it tells you that we really limited their attack," Curtin began.

Continuing on the theme of defensive strength, the head coach pointed to his stable of central defenders and Haris Medunjanin as part of the strong defensive foundation the club has established recently. " I think we have four of the best ones in the league and they are part of the reason for our success," he said.
