Adu as a striker? No Torres again too? I wonder what Nowaks love affair with Mapp is? Still Marfan has looked to cement a starting role and that is a good thing

Seems like an odd striker pairing
Both need their space to work. Le Toux plays better as a WF/2nd striker which is where Adu is likely to want to play. I’m going to guess the two of them trip over each other early in the game.
i think the problem with adu has been the attitude of a striker in midfield. he wasnt working within this formation at center mid, give top a shot.

Sheanon's long throw in
should it be a staple of our offense or only pulled out once in awhile? I loved it first game this season. It caught them off guard, but now it is so expected it just doesn’t work as well. IMO

PHEW!
And no, Zumoff, that was not a great play by MacMath. He set himself up to be out of position. He only got lucky that every Sounder that had a shot at that missed.

not unlucky, Marfan trying to do a little to much. Hit them with a cross that shouldn’t have been there to catch them by suprise (on the second kick) Like his gumption but he’s got to let that one go out for the corner.

I want to see Torres
Him and Marfan can make some creative magic together, help Le Toux get some space and play nice balls for Le Toux to run onto. Either Mapp, Adu, or Paunovic can come off for all I care. neither of them have been overly impressive.
