Seattle is winning again. But how much should we actually read into a three-game winning streak against some of the league's weakest opposition? With Jackson on vacation, Ari goes solo to discuss whether the Sounders' turnaround might be more convincing than the schedule suggests – and if the improvement actually started well before the wins did. Then, we examine Albert Rusnák's remarkable run of form that's made him the MLS leader in primary assists, and what it says about his place in Seattle's attack. Finally, it's on to New England. What would a result in a difficult cross-country road game tell us about this team's trajectory? Plus, why the emergence of Dejan Jovelic has added an entirely new dimension to Seattle's attack – and whether he can become the game-breaking presence the Sounders have been missing.
