There's been a lot of talk in the last two weeks about Jamison Olave, decrying him as too old, slow, or somehow not needed at Real Salt Lake.
But if the last three matches are anything to go by, those claims aren't necessarily the most accurate. Indeed, Olave's been one of the better defenders in each match, and the primary things he's taken flak for are the two stoppage time goals RSL conceded.
Of course, he wasn't blameless in those, but blaming Olave ignores some important factors that led to both goals — and it's something we can see corrected by Real Salt Lake against Seattle.
