Let's talk about 2010. You might remember it as the year where the Rapids came out of nowhere, bested the previous year's 10-10-10 record and, to the shock of the MLS-watching public, pulled out an MLS Cup run. How did they do it? Well, part of it was the smothering, though rather clunky, style of play that Gary Smith had his team running. That bit is almost certainly got them through the regular season through some rather sketchy months - who remembers that as late in the season as August, people didn't even think the Rapids would make the playoffs!
The Rapids need a player to get hot on attack if they want glory
