Loss against LAFC highlights big weakness for Austin FC.
. Three of those players – Domínguez, Pochettino, and Djitté – have already come and gone from the club, and Redes would no doubt have joined them in exodus if any other club would take him. Kolmani and Ring have at least filled roles and contributed, but neither is setting the world alight.
Then there's Rigoni, with whom the club has been very patient since his midseason arrival last year. That patience has yet to be rewarded, and it's wearing thin. The winger has given Austin FC next to nothing in 18 total appearances dating back to August 2022, and the trend lines are going the wrong direction. After failing to capitalize on several scoring opportunities earlier in the season, Rigoni hasn't had a look at goal – or recorded an official shot – in over two games.
These problems aren't new for El Tree. They existed last year, but a transcendent season from Driussi, along with career years from, and others, masked the ineptitude of Austin's top investments. Now that Driussi and the supporting cast have cooled off, the problem is all too apparent. If things don't turn a corner soon, especially concerning Rigoni, the Verde and Black may not see the MLS Cup Playoffs – let alone a Western Conference Final – again for a long time.
