It’s no secret that 2016 was a rough year for Columbus Crew SC, and it seems they’ve taken this offseason to address their biggest problem: Defense.
Offense was never the problem in 2016 for Columbus Crew SC. Whether it was Kei Kamara during the first third of the season, or Ola Kamara finishing the year off, there was never any shortage of goals for the Black & Gold. The Crew SC finished the season with an impressive 50 goals for in 2016, the 7th best in MLS, although that wasn’t enough to keep Columbus from finishing 17th out of the 20 clubs in league.
