Daily News | Union Takeaways: Too many shots made too little impact in a scoreless tie with D.C. United
deserves the honor. Flach gets it for a few reasons, one of which is that he wasn’t supposed to start where he did.
Union manager Jim Curtin revealed after the game that he improvised the 4-3-2-1 formation he rolled out because José Andrés Martínez said Friday he didn’t feel good enough to start yet. So Flach started in the defensive midfield spot instead, but it wasn’t set up the way it usually is. While Flach’s attacking shortcomings have been exposed in the Union’s customary 4-4-2 diamond, Wednesday’s formation put players close by on each side of Flach. If the main aim of that was to jam D.C.’s wide attackers Mateusz Klich and Lewis O’Brien, there was also a side benefit of giving Flach more nearby passing outlets than he has in the 4-4-2.
The result of this was that while Flach had just 38 touches, he completed 27 of his 30 pass attempts. Just three of his attempts were long balls, which is a lot fewer than Martínez usually tries, but a completion rate that high deserves highlighting.If someone wants to say Andre Blake should get the honor for his three saves , fine. But Flach has taken a lot of criticism for his passing, so it’s fair to give credit when it’s due.The Union’s total shots on target.
