You may have heard that Atlanta United’s attack has been struggling this year. Well, “struggling” may be an understatement. Outside of the game in Kennesaw, the word “non-existent” would be more accurate. De Boer’s preferred 3-4-3 formation has become the scapegoat and focus of United fans’ rage. However, the formation is not the be-all, end-all issue in our attack; it’s an element, but not the sole reason for the lack of chances. So why is the attack so bad and what can Frank de Boer do to fix it?
I give you Exhibit A.
FC Cincinnati did what DC United and Monterrey had done: cut off service to Josef Martinez.
