Output in context · St. Louis City finished 2nd of 15 · a title-challenging side
4.66 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
