FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution’s starting lineup this past Sunday afternoon at Red Bull Arena totaled 209 career goals, and the Revs brought another 62 career goals off the bench. Altogether the Revolution featured six players who’ve scored 25 or more career goals.
But despite their wealth of attacking talent the Revs were shut out for a fourth straight game, frustrated by the rival New York Red Bulls in a 1-0 loss.
It’s a trend that’s confounded fans and media, and left players and coaches searching for answers.
“We have so many guys that start, guys who come off the bench, a lot of depth guys who consistently throughout the years have just scored goals,” said Teal Bunbury, who has 29 career goals, including two this season.
