Herriman • Real Salt Lake entered the 2019 season confident it had the tools to improve on last season’s playoff push. With one of the deepest rosters in recent years and Mike Petke evolving as a coach, the team appeared primed to hit the ground running when the games started to matter.
But through the first 10 games, Real have only accrued 10 points and sit eighth in the Western Conference table, one spot below the playoff line. The team is 3-6-1, has already lost two games at home and have struggled to put together a full 90 minutes of soccer throughout the season.
