As they have for much of the 2017 MLS season so far, the Seattle Sounders went into Saturday’s match against the New England Revolution in a “pretty banged up” state, as Brian Schmetzer has said. The starting back line that faced New England drew praise for its clean sheets against Atlanta United and the LA Galaxy, but they found themselves exposed quickly against the Revs’ counter attack. The team may have cleaned up at the other end to earn a late draw, but conceding three goals at home was roundly deemed unacceptable.
