Giliano Wijnaldum odd man out at left back

Sometimes you can learn much more from what’s not said than what’s actually said. In today’s press conference, Philadelphia Union manager was asked about Giliano Wijnaldum and if after Fabinho’s costly mistake in the match against the Portland Timbers he would get a consideration. Curtin’s answer was that Fabinho wouldn't be judged by his one mistake and that most clubs only carry one extra outside back in the eighteen. He went on to say that Ray Gaddis has experience and can play both sides and that while Wijnaldum looked good with Bethlehem Steel FC, Gaddis would most likely remain his choice in the eighteen.
