The big thing for RSL? It’s all about managing to score goals. They have a style of play that does not naturally lend itself to scoring goals with any frequency — which is exactly why they’re on 34 goals in 26 games, which places us easily in the bottom third of the league. Our defense has accounted for that, by and large, with 35 conceded — enough for 8th place in the league on that particular metric.
It’s not like FC Dallas is some goalscoring phenom, but they do score more than us and concede less than us, and that solidifies my thinking: We need to do more to score goals.
