Houston enter a critical path as they only earned one point in the last four games following the international break and losing great momentum after a hot start to the season.

"The biggest thing is just really being clear on what we need to regroup on to move forward. We definitely need to go back to the basics. We need to get back to our defensive identity. That's just from a tactical standpoint. There are a few things from a leadership standpoint that we need to keep growing in. I feel very good about the group right now and where they're at.”
