They were horrible offensively with DRo out in the first two games and not much better with him v. NY and against Clark Hunt's favorite franchise. The only scoring they've done all year was an opportunistic goal by Pajoy against RSL and on a defensive mistake by CHsFF (granted that was a pretty, pretty strike by Rafael, but it was set up by a cluster eff of huge proportions by the Crew defense). Passing has been atrocious all over the pitch and they've had all kinds of problems maintaining possession.
I certainly don't expect that to change minus DRo, Thorrington and DeLeon. Pontius has been 90 percent baffling and 10 percent Pontius.
At BEST I'm thinking they'll be happy with a 0-0 draw if Bill Hamid does lots of Bill Hamid things and it ends up being a game very similar to the NYRB match.
This DCU team just isn't very good right now and it could be ugly from their end.

I doubt they have a good day at the office in KC but I don't see them as struggling team long term. They will put it together and be right up there.
