D.C. United have struggled with a lot this year. They currently have 18 points, the same as expansion side Minnesota United and one more than trainwreck Real Salt Lake. They’ve only scored 12 goals on 170 shots (FCD has 26 in 167 shots) and their leading scorer is Luciano Acosta with 4 goals. American Soccer Analysis’ xG model has them at an expected goal differential of -8.09, which is better than their actual goal differential of -14. But when you’ve gone 692 minutes without scoring at one point this season and as of June 20th 33 individual players had more assists than your entire team, it’s hard to be optimistic.
