The New England Revolution have regressed in each of the last two seasons, falling from a 55 point 2014, to 50 points in 2015, to last year’s 42 point total that saw them miss the playoffs even in a pretty weak Eastern Conference. The same streaky nature that has characterized them in the past was there, but too often they found a way to lose instead of hanging on for a draw.
That’s despite being a team featuring some elite attacking talent in Kei Kamara and Lee Nguyen, and some complimentary parts that would be a big deal elsewhere.
