On Saturday, Tony Husband (Or was it Ross Smith?) compared Eddi to Diego Chara
Here's Eddi over the past year compared to Chara's All-Star season of 2019. Definitely some similarities

Rolling xG:
A 7-goal outing will have the GF sky high for a while. But, it looks like 50 goals wasn't a high enough target.
Defense has been good. Part of that is a softer schedule.
NSC has the best xGD in the East. This team could push for top 4

Sam Surridge doesn't get enough credit for his ability to score in bunches.
Since he signed in the summer of 2023, he has 5 MLS games with multiple goals.
Only 5 players have more during that timeframe

Can we chill out now?
Surridge is an average finisher. He was always going to be fine. I just didn't expect him to regress to the mean in 1 game. But 4 goals from 5 shots will do it.
He's now 1 goal off from the lead in the Golden Boot race

There have been 21 goals in the last 5 Nashville SC games
That is the 2nd most in a 5 game stretch in club history. Bested only by the stretch below 👇 in 2022

2024 shots per game compared to 2025
NSC is creating 3.6 Good+ chances per game in 2025 compared to only 2.3 in 2024
I dont think the NSC forwards are bad finishers. In 2024, they just didn't get enough chances and 1 miss was back-breaking. That isn't true in 2025

NSC continues to put a wall around their box with good bend don’t break defense
Even when we got blitzed early RSL’s best chance was .15 xG and it went in

The table below explains why I dont think Hany is "struggling" Just that his role has changed
It's been his best chance creation and ball progressing season
Hes starting the attack rather than finishing it. We could get him more involved in the final product, but do we want to?

CLT didn't create ANYTHING until Zim went down
2 heartbreaking stoppage-time losses are rough, but NSC created at least one good chance after going behind. It's going to pay off eventually

For those wondering how this applies to NSC specifically
Compared to teams with less than 75% of min played by returning players, they have the best 2025 xGD and the largest improvement from 2024
Getting BJ in early and moves made quickly has led to an impressive, quick start

Rebuilds have been relatively successful

The other 2 teams, #AllforCITY and ATX, kept the roster but had an offseason coaching change.

The deserve-to-win meter loves Nashville as well Cincy weren't incredible.

9 goals from 9.1 xG over the last 5 games with 3 missed PKs is kinda crazy
