San Diego FC sits 23rd in MLS with an 8-10-12 record, missing the playoffs despite Anders Dreyer's stellar shot volume. We analyze the impact of Dreyer's five-shot performance against CF Montréal and the team's reliance on Manu Duah's passive possession.

Our power rankings breakdown highlights the tactical rigidity in midfield that leads to excessive draws. We discuss why Manu Duah's 98-pass games aren't converting into wins and how this affects the playoff picture. Expectations are low for the remainder of the season.

Key topics include the prediction that San Diego FC will miss the postseason, the potential release of Manu Duah if verticality isn't adopted, and the role of younger wingers. We also review the 5-0 victory over CF Montréal as an outlier in a difficult campaign.
