Without player rotation and substituions, the Colorado Rapids must watch fatigue

The Colorado Rapids are on a wonderful run of form right now, but if it is to continue through the entire season, squad rotation and substitutions need to feature more in the team.

There was a time where one of the biggest criticisms of Pablo Mastroeni was that his teams were picked seemingly by throwing darts at a roster. Back in 2014 and most of last season, players seemed to get plucked out of and placed into starting line-ups based on no discernible reason of form, fatigue or otherwise. This has, thankfully, been something that the coach has grown out of as he has evolved as a manager.
