The Union continued the trend begun against Chicago of more attempts on goals leading to more shots on goal and, well, more goals. Also continued was a dramatic decline in possession and passes. Plus some comparisons of the first third of the 2010 and 2011 seasons and more.
A look at the numbers from the win over Chicago.
The Union’s offensive woes deepen as Sebastien Le Toux fails to record a shot for the second game in a row. The insertion of Carlos Ruiz in the second half also yielded no shots from the Union’s other $300,000 man, the one paid to score goals, not save them.
Carlos Ruiz said the Union offense would make a statement against LA. It was the second half subs – Mwanga, Torres and McInerney – who made it.
We look at some statistics, both from the season so far and from the last two games, to show what you already know: the Union’s offense is not getting the job done.
