This has become a storyline on repeat, and it may be time for fans to get honest with ourselves about this team. FC Dallas loses to the Quakes at home, 4-2.
I find it difficult to take the stance of "the Hunts + Zanotta need to sign more players to solve this problem." New signings could definitely help raise the level and add much needed depth in key positions, but this season remains firmly on EQ for me. For a manager who spoke so much about mentality and fight, this team seems to be passive for the majority of this season's matches - often starting on the back foot and letting the opposition bring the fight to them. There may be room for improvement yet and things to click, but I find it very difficult to say this coaching staff is problem-solving and getting the most out of his squad - mind you, this is an FC Dallas roster which is 11th in the league in spending - not exactly the cheap / frugal ownership a portion of the fanbase would have you believe they are.

Yes! Strong points. It’s really hard to diagnose even if we can point to some players underperforming and a coaching staff without many answers
