After losing 3-1 to Minnesota United, Houston Dynamo's head coach Ben Olsen stressed the need for the team to improve their mental resilience, particularly after conceding goals. The team conceded three goals in a crucial 10-minute span, reflecting a troubling trend. Key defender Erik Sviatchenko returned from injury, but Olsen lamented their ongoing defensive issues, which have hindered consistency. The Dynamo's current form finds them at 11th in the Western Conference, heading into a match against a struggling St. Louis City SC.
When we give one [goal] up, the second one comes way too quick. This compounding concession of goals is unacceptable. We need to make sure we are stronger mentally.
That has been a really frustrating process this year, not having two centre-backs consistently healthy and in good form, and it is an issue.
