With the MLS Season set to kick off this week, it is time for my “State of the Union” position-by-position season preview. We’ll kick off with the goalkeepers.
2020 Recap
Andre Blake was nothing short of spectacular during the 2020 Season, which earned him the well-deserved honors of Goalkeeper of the Year. It would not be an overstatement to say that the Union would not have won the Supporters’ Shield last season without the impressive play from Blake. With the second highest Post Shot Expected Goal (PSxG) differential in the league, per fbref.com, Blake demonstrated truly elite shot blocking abilities.
