We've talked a lot about Real Salt Lake still not quite getting their shooting in order — and it's easy to gloss over that without seeing raw data.
"It's about shot quality," I can hear — and sure, I can buy that argument, but let's at least get to some numbers first.
But, according to Squawka, RSL is currently taking a mere 12.1 shots per match. It's enough to place RSL in 16th place in MLS in raw shots taken. NYCFC leads the league with 16.8 taken. That's something, right?
That's with a team that's been heralded as having a tremendously talented "front four" — Javier Morales, Burrito Martinez, Joao Plata, and Yura Movsisyan.
