Editor’s Note: We’d like to welcome one of our newest writers, Eliot McKinley. He’s analytically minded and has already focused his insights on Crew SC. He’ll be covering the same area for Massive Report going forward. You can find Eliot and his Black & Gold thoughts on Twitter at @etmckinley.
If there’s one thing we know about Columbus Crew SC head coach Gregg Berhalter is he’s very interested in tactics. In fact, Berhalter is one of the most tactically-astute managers in Major League Soccer, which has helped the Black & Gold reach the playoffs in three of his four years in charge.
