Minnesota United FC sit 11th in the MLS standings with a 6-7-7 record after a 2-2 draw against Austin FC. The result left the Loons' fanbase frustrated, as the team continues to tread water in a crowded playoff race. In this episode of Beatline, the daily soccer podcast, hosts Natalie and Scott dive into the biggest questions surrounding the club, from Kelvin Yeboah's role to the defensive issues plaguing the back line.
The mailbag kicks off with a question about Kelvin Yeboah, who took three shots against Austin but struggled to get quality service. Scott explains that Yeboah is being asked to create his own chances, which is unsustainable for a striker who thrives on service. The conversation then shifts to goalkeeper Drake Callender, who made four saves to secure a point, but the defense in front of him is conceding two goals per game. Morris Duggan's 55 accurate passes are highlighted, but Scott notes that possession without penetration leaves gaps between the lines. The hosts also debate whether the Loons need a new striker or a creative number ten, with Scott arguing that a creator like Andrea Pirlo would unlock Yeboah and ease the burden on Duggan. A hypothetical about adding a prime-era player sparks a fun debate, with Scott choosing Pirlo and Natalie opting for Thierry Henry.
