Real Salt Lake sits 21st in MLS with a 9-6-14 record, facing critical roster decisions as Diego Luna undergoes arthroscopic knee surgery. Justen Glad anchors the defense with 59 accurate passes against Vancouver, while Noel Caliskan struggles with only two shots on target.

This episode analyzes the center-back pairing, the attacking midfield void, and the forward line's inefficiency. We discuss how the loss of Luna impacts transitions and whether Caliskan will lose minutes due to poor shooting accuracy.

Key topics include Justen Glad's reliability, Rafael's goalkeeping performance, and predictions for roster cuts. We also touch on the impact of injuries and recent losses to Philadelphia and Vancouver.

In this episode: The Center-Back Anchor · Attacking Void & Goalkeeping · Roster Cuts & Trends.
