It just isn’t clicking for Gotham FC.
A team that was seemingly made stronger by a number of high-profile offseason trades have yet to find their groove and once again was held scoreless by a club that they could have battled, if not beaten. Yesterday, a Gotham team depleted by injuries and international call-ups were outplayed by a strong Chicago Red Stars squad that scored two first-half goals at Red Bull Arena to effectively put away the game, then added a third before the final whistle.
Gotham’s performance was fairly typical of this year: The Goths have scored only five goals in eight games, giving them the fewest goals-per-game in the NWSL.
