1 - RSL and Seattle have been on a pretty similar trajectory all season, with your side earning slightly fewer points at the beginning of the season prioritizing Champions League — and now you’re just two points behind us. What do you need to see to have confidence that the team can make the playoffs and succeed?
If Brian Schmetzer’s men are going to go deep into the playoffs they have to score again. When Raul Ruidiaz doesn’t start there’s an attacking hole at forward and on one wing. The current DMs (Rusnak and elder Roldan) aren’t entering the attack often enough to be considered strong elements. Even one-time MVP candidate Nicolas Lodiero is maybe half a hole.
