It took a couple matches for him to get there, but after Harry Shipp’s performance in the Sounders’ 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls on Sunday, the young midfielder is starting to look like the final piece to Seattle’s attacking puzzle. He put in a long shift against Montreal last week and showed some promise, but against New York his creativity and skill truly stood out. Head coach Brian Schmetzer said that Shipp was brought to the team because he fits in the “possession-based team” that the club is putting together in Seattle. The way he played in the attacking midfield trio with Clint Dempsey and Nicolas Lodeiro proved that notion correct.
