Christ that was an ugly game for the Union..
I thought for sure we would have lost, really thought we were on the way to losing another game.
Gomez came up big..injured himself in doing so. Our only natural CB gets his eye split open and leaves the game.
Our backline decided not to block and let Dallas have a go at our keeper on his MLS debut. He got the shit kicked out of him..
Then playing on a sprained ankle, Williams decideds to drop a pass back to him with an attacker maybe 5ft away...guessing an experienced CB wouldnt have done that.
I dont even know were to begin to figure out what exactly is wrong with the Union.
Is it Nowak? Is it the players?
Things have gone down hill....QUICK!
From last year with the team flying high and the fans on cloud nine to now..its scary!
The FB page has been nothing but venom for the team, FO, and of course Nowak. So many people willign to jump ship so fast, reporters asking if fans would do a "walk out" supporters groups talking of inflamatory tifos.
The honeymoon is over in Philly. Alot of fair weather fans are running for the hills and a lot of over dramatic fans have turned social media sites into a place to argue.
I'm in the camp that's blaming Nowak and the Front Office
Nowak because....
He continues making personnel decisions that are hurting the team (too many to list)
He seems to enjoy lying to the fans and media at every chance, about tactics, lineups and cooking up ridiculous stories to justify his trades
He foolishly plays players out of position on a regular basis (such as the genius idea to play Keon Daniel as a 3rd striker when he is our best two-way player)
He's crippling the growth of the several talented young players on the team
He is never reprimanded for acting like a petulant child whether its refusing to shake opposing coaches hands, entering the field of play and striking players, blowing up on reporters for asking reasonable questions, publicly feuding with veteran players, etc
Front Office because...
They co-signed all these bad moves
They are being cheap bastards stockpiling cash and allocation money to pay down contracts so they can keep more revenue for themselves
They are as much to blame for LeToux as Nowak as you know they were salivating over the Bolton money they were expecting, and I'm sure Nick Sack was pissed at Nowak and pressured him when LeToux bailed out on his trail
They painted themselves into a corner that is going to be hard to get out from because promoting Nowak and letting him choose all his buddies (Diego, Hack and Alecko) for the other important positions almost guarantees his job security because all of our scouting, international connections and academy leadership leaves if they decide to sack him now
They think the fans are gonna keep coming back to a shitty product like this. They forget this is a 3 year old club, if they keep running it into the ground it will be as irrelevant as the Philadelphia Soul Arena Football Team
I'll keep supporting the team, but will boo Nowak like I have been this season at every home game. This season is a lost cause at this point, I would like to see them turn it around and make a Chicago Fire-like run at the end of the season to springboard us into 2013 with some hope
