When your biggest strength becomes a weakness

When a team has moderate success, it’s almost easier to pick out their true flaws than compared to when they are playing very poorly. You could have had endless debates about the things the Union needed to change heading into this season, but after seeing the team play some great soccer this year, you start to truly see the team’s weaknesses. Surprising to probably everyone is that one of the biggest weaknesses the team had this season was the play of their All-Star goalkeeper Andre Blake.

While everyone can point to his terrible performance against the Red Bulls in the playoffs, I think his performance for basically the entire year was disappointing.
