Episode 47 - Squad balance, potentially concerning familiar performances due to injuries, and Drew's crackpot playoff ideas

from Home and Away - A Sporting KC Podcast · host Drew VanderPloeg and Cody Welton

This week we discuss the first game of the season, a 1-0 loss to the Portland Timbers.  There were things to be both excited about and concerned about, and a new offensive shape that seems designed for getting the ball to a player who we may not see for a month or so. Tactical corner focuses on squad balance, and the new possession shape meant to help create it.  The theory is sound, but the players meant to achieve it are unfortunately not available. Drew comes up with a wild idea for MLS playoffs and the schedule in general.  Just amuse him and listen. And a preview for this week's match against Colorado.  Please let them be as bad as they were against Seattle. Music by The Spin Wires.
