Sounder Data: How important is lineup consistency?

tl;dr: Lots of changes to a starting lineup are bad.

Hello again, Sounders at Heart!

This week the Seattle Sounders lost 2-1 to Portland in the US Open Cup. Last week they lost 2-1 at Montreal. That was preceded by a 2-1 loss at Dallas, a 3-2 loss at Kansas City and a 0-0 tie at Philadelphia. Oof. That’s a tie and four losses in a row for you mathy people. The optimist in me will say that the play on the field hasn’t been all-out pathetic, but this stretch has not been fun as far as results go.
