Where is RSL tactically?

Something is off with RSL’s tactics, especially in attack. Most of us can agree that RSL has a stellar roster full of talent, both experienced and raw. All of the pieces are here to make things happen. To win matches. To score goals and wow fans.

I’m no master tactician, but it’s obvious that something is missing—out of place, wrong—on the field tactically for RSL.

I can’t either. I don’t know what it is. Do the players know? We drive to the wings, but when that doesn’t work we often resort to Route 1. Bang the ball down field and hope, then count on our defense to stymie the counter after we lose the second ball.
