Cheberko has been a better defender this year so I don’t get it either

St. Louis is 25th in our Smokestack Index. Columbus is 4th. With momentum + depth on our side, the Crew have a big opportunity to grab 3 points and make a statement. We are going for a 2-1 win for the Crew. But who do you think will win? 7/7 #Crew96 #AllForCITY

Will Daniel Gazdag debut tomorrow for #Crew96? He did travel with the team but we aren’t sure he will start. If he plays his late runs and vision could be the perfect tool to unlock their pressure. If he links well with JRR & Rossi, it could be a long night for the home side. 6/7

What it means for The Crew:
Nancyball thrives on movement, precision, and fluid interchanges. If the Crew can pull STL’s midfield out of shape, the gaps will be there. The key? Beat the press, unorganize their defensive shape, punish the space, and capitalize on our chances. 5/7

St. Louis will press high, especially when the ball goes backward or sideways. They want to force turnovers and hit fast in transition. Expect a lot of ball pressure and overloads on the left specifically. Our midfield will have to be clean and quick with the ball. 4/7

Without Bürki and Löwen, St. Louis loses its spine. Bürki organizes the defense + shot-stops at an elite level. Löwen pulls strings in midfield. Their absence shifts more creative burden to Marcel Hartel, who’ll most likely be the main threat. 3/7

New coach Olof Mellberg, a former Swedish national team defender and captain, has STL running a 3-4-2-1 with an emphasis on structure + high pressing. But they’re winless in 3, scoreless in all 3, and missing key starters such as Lowen, Durkin, & Burki 2/7
