The International Break could not have come at a better time, as the Vancouver Whitecaps dropped to 0-1-4 on the season following Sunday night’s 3-1 loss to top-of-the-table LAFC. Vancouver’s positive play from kickoff generated an early lead, but loose defending, both in the flow of play and on set pieces, undermined that early ambition.
The early positive play from the Whitecaps Sunday night demonstrates how the club is capable of running with the best. They just need to find ways to not let themselves become so disconcerted during a match.
Keep in mind, we’re still only four games into the season and our ideal starting eleven still remains to be seen.
