## Resource

The Columbus Crew are in the middle of their worst stretch of the season, and the frustration is reaching a boiling point. Brian, Matt, and Gabe break down the Crew's 3-1 loss to New England , the team's fifth consecutive defeat, and the growing concerns surrounding a team that desperately needs to find a way out of this slump. But there could be some hope on the horizon. With the summer transfer window officially closed, we take a deep dive into Columbus' moves, including the arrivals of Santiago Rodríguez and Anass Zaroury, along with the other changes made to the roster. Can these additions actually change the trajectory of the season? We also discuss the latest U.S. Open Cup news and what the competition could mean for a Crew team that needs something positive to happen. Finally, we look ahead to the upcoming matchup against the Colorado Rapids and ask what Columbus needs to do to finally snap this losing streak. Five straight losses. New players coming in. The Open Cup still alive. And the Crew desperately searching for answers. All in this episode!
