Despite finishing with the third-worst record in Major League Soccer in 2016, the Black & Gold led the league in chances created and had one of the top scorers in goals per minute.
While most of the 2016 issues were defensive, Crew SC also finished in the middle of the pack with only 50 goals scored.
The number of chances created compared to the number of goals scored shows a team that wasn’t clinical in front of goal. With way Columbus plays, overloading the attack, the team needed to be better in this department.
“I think we should have scored more last year,” head coach Gregg Berhalter admitted.
