Putting the ball in the back of the net has been a real struggle for Columbus Crew SC in the young 2019 Major League Soccer season. After the 2-0 setback to the Houston Dynamo on Saturday, the Black & Gold ended their 10th match of the season with just eight goals scored, the worst record in the league for teams with as many games played. By comparison, Los Angeles Football Club has scored 26 already.
Even though head coach Caleb Porter is probably right when he repeatedly says that the team has created enough chances and should have scored more goals over the last few weeks, the truth is that it should take a lot more than time to fix the Crew’s struggling offense.
