"I'm frustrated for the guys because they're working so hard to get these [scoring] moments, and you can see it's starting to click and starting to work. We're getting some sort of penetration through the sides and getting some dangerous crosses in, and everything but the goal. I'm really proud of them, and it shows we're getting close."
"When you lose games, people are always asking for a lot of changes. As a coach, we try to protect the players."
Philadelphia Union, defending Supporters' Shield champions, face Atlanta United on Saturday while both teams struggle with offensive production. Philadelphia has lost all three league matches, scoring just one goal despite dominating possession and creating chances. Coach Bradley Carnell remains optimistic, noting the team is creating dangerous opportunities that will eventually convert. Atlanta United similarly sits pointless after three consecutive losses, including a 3-2 defeat to Real Salt Lake. Coach Gerardo Martino deflects criticism, emphasizing his role protecting players during the difficult start. Both teams seek their first wins of the season in this matchup between struggling Eastern Conference sides.
