Following a disappointing 1-1 home draw for the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday afternoon against the Philadelphia Union, the prevailing tone in the media room was one of frustration. Perhaps no one exemplified this frustration better than manager Marc Dos Santos in his post-match presser:
“I’m trying to calm down...I’m still upset. I feel that we did enough to win the game. I feel that we created enough opportunities. But then if you don’t finish your chances, you’re always playing on the edge in this league...today, we lost two points.”
As Province reporter JJ Adams pointed out to Marc, the Whitecaps have only managed two goals from open play so far this season, and it seems clear that the lack of attacking productivity is wearing on the first-year MLS manager.
