Jordan Allen should start at the 10 for Real Salt Lake in place of Javier Morales -- starting last Saturday. I’m not the first to say this and I don’t think that it’s really that far of a stretch or outside the realm of possibility.
We’ve seen him do it before, we know he’s capable: Young, dynamic, aggressive in the right moments, and a talented defender — he could be the spark that RSL has missed this year and especially recently.
Watch out now, this hot take comes with some stats. I’m going to use goals, assists, and shots/shots on goal to talk a little bit about this; and then we’ll round it out with some real solid opining.
