A playoff-clinching performance against the defending MLS Cup champions finally got Philadelphia Union the win it needed to get the entire league -- including the crew at MLSSoccer.com's Matchday Central -- talking about the Boys in Blue.
Matt Doyle, cheat codes connoisseur, took a close look at the Union’s comeback thriller against the Five Stripes and noted the change of formation that has allowed the Union to exploit space on the flanks.
"The past couple of weeks it’s been [the Union's] wingers, and we’ve seen a shift where they’ve gone away from the 4-4-2 diamond or flat 4-4-2 which is what they played for most of the season and it’s been back to the 4-2-3-1.
