Nobody said it was going to be easy.
On Friday night, the Loons marked their MLS debut with a lopsided loss to a Portland Timbers team that was just over a year removed from winning MLS Cup. We’ve already covered some of the positive aspects and the vast amount of negative aspects, and now that were a bit removed from the result, it’s time to dive into the tactics and personnel decisions that were employed by manager Adrian Heath.
I want to preface this breakdown by saying that nobody was realistically expecting the Loons to come out of the gates firing and getting all of their personnel decisions correct right off the bat.
