Columbus Crew SC is on top of Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference with 13 points after six games, only conceding four goals (0.67 goals per game). That’s the good news. The bad news is that Columbus has only scored seven goals (1.2 goals per game), which is the number of goals the Montreal Impact has tallied — a team currently in the middle of the aforementioned conference standings.
The Crew’s current margin of error is slim. And with a roster filled with capable offensive producers, the Black & Gold could benefit from a formation change.
