They have a Champions League/League 1 Veteran in Benoit Cheyrou
Former MLS All Stars in Drew Moore, Justin Morrow, Clint Irwin, Steven Beitashour and Will Johnson
And the rest of them have had elite upbringings as well - Marky Delgado was a US U-17, U-18 and U-20 player; Jonathan Osorio and Damien Perquis both have International experience.
This isn't a team of 3 players and 8 borderline below average mls chumps. They have proven quality all over the pitch.
There is no reason for them to be fighting for the last spot in the MLS playoffs.
IMO - The results are currently show them as underperforming. There are probably a ton of theories why they are and I'm sure people will start to rattle them off - but at the end of the day, with a roster of that talent - they are underperforming.
