There defense let in alot of goals and I don't see where they will get the offense to compensate. Will there defense get better, probably yes. However, if they don't generate more offense there defense will still be under the pressure. So how do they get more offense?



Correct. However, I think it's almost unfair to call a teams defense weak or say they let in alot of goals when their offense isn't doing their job and ends up putting alot of pressure on the defense. I don't care how good of a defense you have sooner or later a team will score given enough chances. How many games have you seen where a keeper has a clean sheet but probably didn't touch the ball 5 times but the opposing keeper gave up 2 or 3 goals but had a dozen saves. Did the keeper or defense lose the game? More likely the offense isn't up to par. I say it's more difficult to develop a strong offense than defense - and when you do this your defense usually gets credit for being stronger too. That is the challenge for some of these younger teams.
