Those anxious looking at the Houston Dynamo roster see Michael Nelson all alone in the goalkeeper spot and worry. He has never started a game for the club. That should make supporters nervous.
The starting goalkeepers for the past several seasons are gone. Tyler Deric was the first Dynamo Academy player and second homegrown to make the senior roster. He was let go; his option wasn’t exercised by the club.
Back-up Joe Willis is now on the Nashville SC roster. He will likely start in 2020. In 2019, while technically a back-up, he started 27 games for the Houston Dynamo.
