Yes, exactly. SKC was a team that struggled to score and failed to beat Houston in the Eastern Conference Final for 2 years straight because of it. BTW, do you have a list of how teams ranked in 2012 by that goals allowed per game metric or a link to it online? Where did we rank on that? Because we had a top 3 offense last year, and if we maintain that and have a top 3 defense this year, I think we get to the Eastern Conference championship game or even MLS Cup.
We actually need help on both fronts. Defense is the #1 issue, though part of that was related to our midfield IMHO. But our high scoring ranking is a bit of a deception as we score a lot against the weaker teams, but had trouble cracking the better teams.
