The Seattle Sounders are running out of time. After another frustrating result with Saturday's 0-0 draw against the New York Red Bulls at Lumen Field, we break down where things stand as Seattle’s MLS winless streak continues. The result was nowhere near good enough, but was the performance actually a step forward? We dig into the Sounders’ chance creation, Ethan Horvath’s monster night in goal, the discourse around Seattle’s xG and whether there are finally some signs that the attack is moving in the right direction.
We also break down the returns of Jordan Morris, Cristian Roldan and Paul Arriola, give some flowers to Sebastián Gómez, and ask a bigger question as the season reaches crunch time: Who’s passing the audition? With Seattle increasingly needing to think about which pieces are part of the solution going forward, we'll look at the players raising their stock before finishing with a preview of Saturday’s trip to face the LA Galaxy. #KO
