Don’t be fooled by the Red Bulls’ first-place standing going into Saturday’s game in Houston (8:30pm, MSG). They have plenty of work to do, especially on offense.
Getting blanked last weekend at home against Real Salt Lake underscored how much they need captain Sacha Kljestan. With last season’s MLS assist leader back from US National Team duty, can he add creativity and much-needed quality to an attack that’s second in MLS in shots but middle of the pack with four goals? Considering both teams love to press, there will be plenty of chances on both sides.
