What is there to say at this point? Losing 0-3 in Kansas City is something we’ve seen before. This was nowhere near last year’s loss, but it still put Seattle at just 2 wins in their first 11 matches. A strong first half with a tactically compact Sounders team was just enough to get your hopes up for points. These hopes were dashed by some tactical adjustments that failed miserably, combined with fatigue and rampant poor decision making. This is a fragile team right now, with the role players and backups we’ve asked to step up are not ready or good enough to do so, and the stars are not excelling within the turmoil.
