"We know we can create goals, we can score and create a lot of chances, but we also have to be mindful that we are conceding goals. Right now. one of the objectives is to break bad habits that some of the guys might have had throughout the season. Not just break bad habits but develop new habits as well."
"So that is something that just takes time. You can't make a fix in a couple of weeks. I will give the guys credit, they are applying themselves every day against the ball. We just keep going every single week. We have to create more chances, then we have to limit the opponents."
"I've spoken about the word balance quite a lot. That is massively important,"
St. Louis City have lost their last three MLS games 3-2 and have not kept a clean sheet since April 20. The team sits 14th in the Western Conference, 14 points behind ninth place, making playoff qualification unlikely. The squad continues to create and score chances but concedes goals regularly, revealing defensive weaknesses and recurring bad habits. Improvement requires developing new defensive habits and balance, which cannot be achieved instantly. Players are applying themselves daily in training, and the club must both create more chances and limit opponents to improve results.
