Even with 2012 and behind 2014, challenge is those years ended strong with wins and draws so odds of 2015 surpassing those years is now quite low.
The flat line trend continues as 2012 and 2014 strong finishes mean they are well beyond the reach of 2015. 2015 collapse is akin to 2011, but we will finish with a higher point total due to a very impressive start. If people say early matches don't matter those banked points are only thing keeping us alive right now.
Kinda like finishing a nice crap and taking a look inside the toilet and being impressed. It is impressive yet still shit. James
Looking at this chart shows that Ben Olsen has had some damn good seasons! (I'll admit it, sometimes in the heat of the moment I don't give him enough credit!)
It's true...he gets some aspects of MLS Whatever.0 remarkably well. It's competitive across the entire season, but it's just not elegant.
Another team recognizes this, picks him up, they win the MLS Cup the next year while DCU with Benny ends up with the Wooden Spoon.
Sorry that I forgot about this during the off season. Here it is with 2016 (in green) added. Major aspect of note is how poorly we started (behind 2013!) and yet strong finish sees United surpassing 2011 and coming close to 2015.
Be wary of the red line. A look at the Eastern Conference standings throughout the season. https://t.co/UH1SQspOGi— Major League Soccer (@MLS) October 17, 2016 Interactive graph showing league placement over 2016. See DC up and down, Philly great start cratering and Chicago...oh dear.
United have not ended on a win for six years now, with two draws and fours losses. The draws capped our best campaigns of the past six years as well.
