Philadelphia Union Vs. Houston Dynamo Live, MLS Cup 2011: Jack McInerney Substituted On

This match has been screaming out for the Philadelphia Union to make a change. They've gotten nothing in the attack from their central midfielders and have needed to make a change there since the first minute. It took 62 minutes, but we finally have that substitution as Peter Nowak has brought Jack McInerney in for Stefani Miglioranzi. That means McInerney will go up to forward with Danny Mwanga and Sebastien Le Touz will drop into the midfield.

With the Union still down 2-1 at home in the first leg of this two-legged tie, this move needed to happen. They need to get something in the attack and this will do it. This puts a lot of onus on Brian Carroll to be the tackler in the midfield because no one else in that midfield will do it, but Mwanga, McInerney and Le Toux will be a handful going forward. Maybe, just maybe, they can get a goal now.
