A common thread through Brian Schmetzer’s tenure as Seattle Sounders head coach is that the team has become very good at keeping possession. In nearly every league match this year so far, the Sounders have had the majority of possession. But their spot on the standings (7th, with 10 points) is a damning indictment of the team’s style thus far. Is it time for a major change in Seattle’s playing style?
After the 1-0 loss to Toronto, defender/midfielder Gustav Svensson said that the team has “some work to do” in turning their possession into goals.
