Chris Mueller once again played the role of super sub this past weekend, coming off the bench to spark a comeback against the Colorado Rapids and earn the Lions their first home win of the season. Remarkably, Orlando City has seen at least one goal contribution from a substitute in every single game this season through week six, notching two goals and five assists in total.
James O’Connor came into the season with confidence in the way he has built his new squad, especially from an attacking standpoint. The Irishman had previously lamented his lack of forward options last year, only really having Dom Dwyer and Stefano Pinho to turn to at forward and forcing the likes of Chris Mueller and Josué Colmán into the position when short-handed.
