How to solve the Xavier Arreaga problem

The 2020 MLS Regular Season is still very much up in the air, but we at least have the next phase of games to get ready for. When the Seattle Sounders return to play later this month they will still have some massive question marks around what their best lineup looks like. That’s due at least in part to the underwhelming play of centerback Xavier Arreaga, a player that was signed last year to replace defensive stalwart Chad Marshall.

Arreaga has had his bright moments, to be sure. His best game in a Sounders shirt came in the Western Conference Final last season when he got the best of league MVP Carlos Vela.
