After a late-season formation change reinvigorated New England's attack, their key players are looking to build on that momentum this campaign.
On paper, it was an attack to be feared.
A lineup that featured 2015 MLS MVP runner-up Kei Kamara and 2014 third-place finisher Lee Nguyen. A player with plenty of talent in Juan Agudelo. A highly regarded attacking pair in Diego Fagundez and Kelyn Rowe. And it was an attack that had produced before, with a run to the MLS Cup final in 2014 — albeit with a few different pieces mixed in.
Yet it was an attack that simply was not producing up to its potential for most of 2016.
