Figuring out scoring formula top of the list for White and Whitecaps

One game doesn’t a season make, but if it’s representative of how the Whitecaps can play this year, it will be an entertaining season.

According to Opta, midfielder Gauld had the most shot creating actions in MLS, with midfielders Julian Gressel and Alessandro Schopf cracking the top 40 out of the 388 players who set foot on pitches last week. Gauld also had 36 touches in the attacking third, second in MLS.Article contentAnd despite having two goals get past him, new goalkeeper Yohei Takaoka was fourth overall in post-shot expected goals .

Blackmon was second in MLS in total pass distance and Veselinović sixth , as the back-four and Takaoka absorbed the pressure and gave their harassing, pressing players a chance to breathe in possession.Article content Now, maintaining that is the key — especially going on the road to San Jose, where they have just one win in 15 trips . That lone victory came on Aug. 25, 2018, when their current assistant coach, Florian Jungwirth, was starting for the Earthquakes.
