Sounders threw Roman Torres in at forward to ‘be an animal’ ahead of team record comeback

A couple of days after his team’s historic comeback from three goals down, Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer wasn’t feeling any better about it.

“I don’t feel any better because it’s a game we should have won,” Schmetzer said Monday after a team workout in Tukwila.

Schmetzer admitted the team’s lapses on all three plays leading up to New England Revolution goals were a concern that was being addressed. That includes even the 35-yard cheapie Sounders keeper Stefan Frei let deflect off his hands for the game’s opening goal.

It wasn’t the goal itself, but a series of decisions Schmetzer felt resulted in his team being too loose with the ball and allowing the shot to be taken in the first place.
