Here is the hook that matters right now.
M
0:31MelissaHOST
Penelope Hocking is isolated, the midfield is playing conservative, and nine draws have left us fifth in the NWSL standings.
M
0:39MelissaHOST
Can we fix it before the playoffs?
R
0:41RyanHOST
It is a tightrope walk.
R
4:39RyanHOST
She cannot create her own chances consistently from deep isolation.
R
4:44RyanHOST
She needs width and support.
M
4:47MelissaHOST
@SoccerMomKC asks if Penelope Hocking will score twice in the quarterfinals if we advance, as we've mentioned before.
M
4:54MelissaHOST
Do you still believe in that?

1:37RyanHOST

M
1:46MelissaHOST
Let's get into it.
M

Segment one, division rivals and league storylines.
R
2:55RyanHOST

We've been saying this for three days straight.
R
0:48RyanHOST
If Penelope Hocking doesn't get help from the wings, those draws stay as draws.
R
0:53RyanHOST
We're looking at a team stuck in neutral.
M
0:56MelissaHOST
So today we break down exactly where the Current stand in the division, why Kayla Sharples' safe passing might be costing them points, and if they can actually catch the leaders before the playoffs close.
M
1:40MelissaHOST
But think about the context.
M
1:42MelissaHOST
We just beat Utah Royals 2-1.
M
1:45MelissaHOST
Penelope Hocking had three shots.

Tough love, Ryan, but true.

M
0:27MelissaHOST
It is a statistical anomaly that might just cost Kansas City Current a playoff spot.
M
0:32MelissaHOST
But before we dive into the math of misery, let's talk about Penelope Hocking.
M
0:36MelissaHOST
Three shots against Utah, one win.
M
0:39MelissaHOST
Is she finally getting the service she needs, or is the system built for her to struggle in isolation?
M
1:45MelissaHOST
First, we're tackling the draw paradox, why Kansas City keeps tying games they should win.
M
1:50MelissaHOST
Second, we're looking at the midfield battle between Kayla Sharples and the rest of the league's pressing traps.
M
1:56MelissaHOST
And third, a fun hypothetical about what happens if Penelope Hocking actually breaks out in the quarterfinals.

If you think Penelope Hocking can't do it alone, wait until you hear what Ryan has to say about her isolation.

Penelope Hocking has been carrying the offensive load for Kansas City all season, but with Vlatko Andonovski gone and the team sitting at seventh in the NWSL, the question isn't just who is scoring, it's who stays on the pitch.
M
0:34MelissaHOST
Is the roster deep enough to survive the playoff push, or are we looking at a mass exodus of depth players? [car hooting]
R

It's a fair question.
