After pulling off a trade with the Philadelphia Union for Cristian Maidana and Andrew Wenger earlier in the month, the Houston Dynamo set the tone for the offseason. They showed that creating more chances and getting more dynamic in the attack would a priority, as Maidana was among the league leaders in assists. In the process, they sacrificed defense.
The Argentine doesn't exactly put a focus on the defensive aspect of the game, so with Giles Barnes, Will Bruin, Ricardo Clark and Boniek Garcia all re-signed for next season, the Dynamo will have to find a way to make sure they don't get overrun in the midfield and on the backline.
