“If you watched that Toronto game from front to back, and you think there need to be wholesale changes to this group right now, I would completely disagree.”

After an 0-2-3 start, United seemed to find its way with a 4-0 home victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps on April 9. On Saturday, however, United conceded a first-minute goal against Toronto FC and stumbled in the final third of the field during a 1-0 setback at RFK.

Throughout the campaign, Olsen has stuck with largely the same lineup: Travis Worra in goal; Taylor Kemp, Steve Birnbaum, Bobby Boswell and Sean Franklin on the back line; Patrick Nyarko, Marcelo Sarvas, Nick DeLeon and Lamar Neagle in the midfield; and Chris Rolfe and Fabian Espindola on the front line. Attackers Luciano Acosta, Alvaro Saborio and Rob Vincent have also figured into Olsen’s plans.

Aside from the second half of the opener at Los Angeles and a dreary 90 minutes against FC Dallas, Olsen has been relatively pleased with his team’s effort and performance.

The final pass, final touch and finishing, however, have fallen short.

“Ultimately, we have to find a way to get wins,” he said. “And I just think it’s too early to start changing things up in any drastic way. Fans want results; so do I. We all want the same thing, but I see these guys every day and I do a lot more research and work on this team than some of the casual fans.

“I’ve been saying all along: I like this group. I like the way they played. I enjoyed watching the game, but I didn’t enjoy losing. And that part has to be fixed.”

Most troubling, though, have been the results at home, where United was 11-3-3 last year. This campaign has begun with defeats to Dallas and Toronto, a draw with Colorado and victory over Vancouver. United will play three of the next four at RFK, starting Saturday against the New England Revolution.

Top-choice goalkeeper Bill Hamid, who has been sidelined since undergoing knee surgery in January, appears on pace to return sometime next month.

“He is inching closer, for sure,” Olsen said. “Each day he is moving along. He hasn’t had any minor setbacks, knock on wood. It could be a month from now we see some action. We don’t want to put timetables on him. We want him to go along at the pace the doctors and our medical staff deem necessary. We don’t want to push him. He’ll get there.”

Meantime, second-year pro Travis Worra has retained the starting job over Tally Hall, who was signed a few weeks ago to add experience to the goalkeeping corps.

“A wise coach once told me, if you give these guys – young American kids – the chance, more times than not they will prove they belong here,” Olsen said. “Travis is one of those cases. He’s got a long way to go. He’s got to improve in so many aspects, but he’s been pretty damn good. I’ve got no complaints. Tally understands the situation.”

Ultimately, however, “it’s Bill’s job,” Olsen said of Hamid. “Bill is still one of the best goalkeepers this league has ever seen.”

Hall played all 90 minutes in a 1-0 victory over the University of Maryland on Tuesday at the RFK training grounds.

In the Maryland scrimmage, midfielder Markus Halsti, sidelined for two months with a knee injury, played 90 at right back, a position he has filled with the Finnish national team. Kofi Opare and Jalen Robinson partnered in central defense and Luke Mishu was on the left. Jared Jeffrey and rookie Julian Buescher paired in central midfield, with Vincent and Miguel Aguilar on the wings. Saborio and Acosta formed the front-line tandem. Vincent scored in the second half.

As for Halsti’s status, Olsen said: “It’s good he’s out there and playing, yes.”

His message to Halsti?

“Show up every day and work hard and try to get yourself in the 18. It’s fairly simple.”

In the scrimmage, United officials kept a close eye on Maryland attacker Eryk Williamson, a DCU academy player who could garner a homegrown contract offer in the next few years.

“He’s another great prospect,” Olsen said, “and somebody we are constantly watching.”

Aguilar also played 72 minutes for the third-tier Richmond Kickers during a 2-1 defeat at Bethlehem Steel on Sunday.

Olsen said United will not have permanent assignments for Richmond, its USL affiliate. Aguilar will probably return there this week. Robinson is also a weekly candidate. Buescher would seem to benefit from time with the Kickers, but both he and Aguilar are foreign players, and Richmond has only one available slot, Olsen said.

United officials were saddened to hear that former DCU star Andy Najar had suffered an ACL injury with Anderlecht on Sunday and will miss six months. First and foremost, Najar’s health and welfare is in their thoughts. But it was hard to ignore the financial implications: Najar was on track for a transfer to a bigger European club this summer, and with a sell-on clause in the 2013 deal that sent the now-23-year-old winger-defender to Belgium, United would have received a cut of the fee.

“It’s adversity,” Olsen said of Najar’s injury. “In his career, it’s been a pretty steady upward trajectory, and now he’s got a little bit of a dip. He’ll come back from this better and have more character.”
