FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – A few simple statistics paint a relatively clear picture of the New England Revolution’s offensive struggles through the early part of the 2016 campaign.
The Revs are currently tied for sixth in Major League Soccer in shots (51), while they’re tied for seventh in shots on goal (16). That places them right around the top third of the league in both categories. They’ve generated significantly more shots than the conference leaders in both the East and West.
But the Revs have converted just 7.84 percent of their shots into goals (per Opta), the fifth-lowest percentage in the league.
