Scratching the Chalkboard: Time to Dump the 4-2-3-1

For the past few seasons, a few things remained true of this Dallas side: Oscar Pareja would play at least one Homegrown in the starting XI, Blas Perez/Atiba Harris would get a yellow, Fabian Castillo would dazzle with a single touch, then subsequently kick the ball out of bounds with his very next touch, fans will complain about the attendance, there are no craft beer options at the stadium and Dallas would line up in the 4-2-3-1.

2017 has been different on almost every regard. Castillo’s high risk/high reward style has been replaced with a more reliable and consistent play of Roland Lamah.
