On Saturday, we were treated to our first instance of Brooks Lennon playing at central striker for Real Salt Lake.
That was interesting for a number of reasons, not least of which is because it meant that Yura Movsisyan remained on the bench despite an injury to Luis Silva that kept him out of the lineup. We’ve talked about the implications for Movsisyan — this only strengthens those discussions we had — so let’s move on from that.
Instead, I’d like to take a look at some of the qualities Lennon showed at forward and how that affected the team.
