As it stands right now, this Whitecap team does not seem much different than last year’s team. Gone are two DP’s in Morales and Rivero, and gone are Aird and Smith of the much-abused RB duo. Right Back improved over the offseason with the addition of Shaenon Williams, but the attacking identity of the team shifts dramatically. The former enigmatic captain, Pedro Morales was the key to the Whitecaps attack when healthy, and Octavio Rivero was supposed to be the man to put the ball in the net, although that never consistently materialized. The two DP’s, for better or worse, were the focus of the offense while they were here, and with mere weeks to go before competitive games their absence has me wondering just who is this year’s team, and can they be better than last year’s team?
Will this year’s Whitecap team be better than last year’s?
