When we look at Real Salt Lake's roster, something sticks out at us: Unlike years past, we look truly stocked at forward, and for some reason, that has many worried.
This represents a shift in strength for the club, whose depth was typically counted in midfielders during the Jason Kreis era.
This was in part necessitated by the tactical shape he employed; that narrow diamond that worked so well for a few years demanded a lot out of its nominally wide midfielders, and as a result, there were usually seven or eight game-ready midfielders on hand.
