Chicago Fire vs Toronto FC: What We Learned
The Striker Problem Has To Be Solved
The striker situation is rapidly reaching crossroads. Once again, Robert Beric had a poor showing, scoring zero goals and even preventing teammates from scoring at times in the game against Toronto FC. In his hour on the field, Beric had an xG of .82, the second-highest on the team, and came away with nothing. Also in that time, he had only one shot on goal in 4 attempts. I don’t know what to do about it other than having him ride the pine. Beric has not shown the goal-scoring potential he showed last season and despite some good performances with hold-up play and the like, his lack of goals alone justifies his removal from the lineup.
