With Vincent Nogueira’s sudden departure, the Philadelphia Union must figure out who will step into his role in the midfield.
The sudden departure of Vincent Nogueira has left a huge void in the Philadelphia Union’s midfield. Quite simply, there’s no one who can fully replace the diminutive Frenchman’s vision, touch, and smooth passing. So where do the Union go from here?
In the short term, the Union have some good options to try out. The double pivot option of Warren Creavalle and Brian Carroll has worked well, especially when the Union need to buckle down defensively.
