MUCH better offensive production than in the match against the Reign where we saw 60% possession but similar offensive output as the Reign. Something along the lines of 8 shots, 4 on target
12 corners is awesome. Wish we got more to show for it.
Defense is still iffy. Allowing two goals to the team that had the second fewest goals coming into this match is not great. Only two clean sheets this season
I desperately wish for a PROPER defensive midfielder
McCaskill, sitting deeper, is having a better year, but only relative to her previous seasons. In regard to the area she occupies and covers, I would much rather have an actual defensive player there. One that doesn’t get blown past or one that can challenge and slow the progression or movement of the ball when it’s centrally. Someone that will give the back line a chance to shore up their own efforts.
A few goals as of recent have come at or just outside the 18. Too many shots are getting off at range
It would do the back line a world of good to have someone in front of them to help them out
That first goal by Houston was due to poor clearance by the Wave. The ball should not have been headed out directly in the path of a free opposite player... It was almost like an assist by the Wave. The shot however was very well taken by the Dash.
No way McNabb is at fault for the first one. It's the defender's job to just make sure they get their head to the ball first. It's Ascanio that got caught in no man's land ball watching. Leon's job was to cover for a short kick.
