The Union won, yeah, but Jim Curtin did not come out of his club’s 3-0 victory feeling like the demons of last weekend’s loss at LA Galaxy had been wiped away. He emphasized that he wants this team to think of themselves as a great MLS team, and that means playing to the best of their abilities whether up a goal, down a goal, or tied.
Curtin felt the Union took their feet off the gas after going ahead, and the numbers back him up. Over the first 25 minutes, Philly attacked Montreal and turned them over in their own half repeatedly.
