FC Dallas clenched El Capitan this weekend with a 4-2 win over Houston. To celebrate I’m going to do my best Jason Poon impression.
Attacking from out wide
Since the departure of Mauro Diaz and Maxi Urruti’s emergence as 10, Dallas have primarily focused their attacking efforts to the wings. Without a player with the passing range of Diaz that can sit deep and spray balls onto the feet of wingers as they streak towards the keeper from the touchline, Dallas have been resigned to crossing. This isn’t a bad thing. It didn’t make sense when Urruti was striker and would rarely be positioned where he needed to be, but with Dominque Badji’s poaching instincts and knack for making dangerous runs, Dallas’ attack may be back on track.
