Here are Colin's Keys to a tough Western Conference showdown with FC Dallas.

Back to basics

After a club-record shutout streak, we’ve had bit of a let up conceding five goals in two matches.

We need to get back to basics around our box.

That means getting tighter and stopping shots and crosses.

Patience in possession

Vanni Sartini said it after the game against Portland.

We were too rushed at times.

We need to have more patience in possession and better decisions.

Attacking set plays

We have a number of players with good delivery.

There is quality there.

It would be a big positive to see a more consistent attacking threat on these plays.
