If this Vancouver Whitecaps offseason has a theme it would be uneasiness. At least that’s what I’m feeling about it, maybe that says more about me than anything else. But I don’t think that feeling is all that unreasonable. At the root of the uneasiness is that, despite going on an unprecedented run of form with a lovable head coach, there are all kinds of red flags that the Whitecaps success isn’t sustainable.
After 10 games Vanni Sartini was on a pace, xG wise, to have the 3rd best Whitecaps season in their MLS history. This still wasn’t amazing, the Whitecaps have mostly been bad in the MLS era.
