By witnessing in its
first three matches posting a not so positive 0-3 record, the Seattle Sounders
and their boss Sigi Schmidt are on the arduous task to seek immediate answers
to stop this negative skid.
Since this club
inception to Major League Soccer play, the Emerald City squad has been always
in the spotlight and in the top of the table posting positive numbers and
certain dominance.
Still this campaign
slow or mediocre start has put several people in the top office of the Sounders
to work and net important names to reinforce many of its weak spots.
The Emerald City squad
is looking desperately to seek some solutions in a short-term basis and put a
stop to this dark side and chapter in its history, as in every campaign many
are accustomed to see this club atop the Western Conference table.
With losses to SKC on
opening day, then with Real Salt Lake and losing on the first ever edition of the
Cascadia Derby at home against the Vancouver Whitecaps on a match seen that
everything was going against them.
Especially the referee
awarding two PKS in favor of the visitors and arch-rivals the Whitecaps, the Sounders
had its opportunities but at the end, they succumb to another squad looking for
its first win in the campaign as well in their well-known Cascadia rivalry.
The Caps with this
win they became sole leaders in the Cascadia Cup standings and netting bragging
rights with this win in the always-disputed round of matches between these
clubs in this competition.
No time to panic, just
correct many flaws that this squad is going through still the injuries to key players
as well solidify the defensive backfield will be one priority for the Emerald
City squad Boss ahead of his upcoming compromise at home.
The Sounders are
looking forward to an important meeting against the Eastern Conference leaders
the Montreal Impact, who are to play at Century Link Stadium and the prospects
of a win for the Sounders can look a bit distant.
So far, the Canadians are looking sharp and
looking to net important points with a win as a visiting entity, make it a
living Calvary for the Sounders in their upcoming compromises, and campaign that
can turn to a 0-4.
For Manager Sigi
Schmidt a man of many battles and long range of achievements in his tenures
with several squad’s in MLS, his outlook for his club recovery are a bit positive
but work has to be done to correct the course.
At the end, the
Seattle Sounders front office is really making some important moves to its
roster and making the necessary moves to replace Oba Martins who left to play
in China nascent soccer league.
The arrival of
longtime veteran and top-notch striker in Herculez Gomez and maybe other addition’s
to this club roster maybe is a light at the end of the tunnel for the Emerald
City squad.
Will this club return
to its old winning ways and maybe the Sounders can stage an all-around revival
in the last months of this campaign and earn his spot in the league postseason,
as mentioned previously, too much work
lies ahead for the Sounders and their Boss.
