Do we value skill over speed too much?
I think our scouting is heavily biased towards players who they think have skill even if they are slower.
Miranchuk is a very skilled player, but in MLS he is SLOW. Miggy used to be a burner but he isn't anymore. ELL had no speed to get behind the opposing backline.
We insist on playing with wingers even though I'm not sure we have a single fast winger on the team. Brennan is below average for speed. Fafa can't create space behind teams.
Alzate, expensive and slow. Fortune is pretty quick, but who can say after the injuries. Sanchez maybe is. Jacob is not fast.
None of our CB's are fast runners.
We seem to be trying to build a team that can take apart defenses. It simply isn't working. lets get back to the Josef, Tito, and Asad types who can press and create chances upfield with creating turnovers.
Lets get some SEC speed on the team!
