Since the Columbus Crew hired head coach Caleb Porter, after successful years with the Portland Timbers, the one area of the field that’s seen the most change is the wingers. Porter and the Black & Gold have struggled over the years to find consistency at the role, with now-fullback Pedro Santos being the only mainstay at the position. Now, with the Timbers about to enter Lower.com Field for a Sunday matchup, wingers are still a position up in the air, but this time because the options are plentiful.
Although the Crew came out of Tuesday’s match at Inter Miami on the wrong side of the scoreline, it wasn’t because of the players on the wings.
