During Wednesday’s demoralizing pinball of a game at Qwest Field, the main reason for the Sounders’ failure to score seemed obvious to we season ticket holders in Section 119. Schmid’s choice at forward, Mike Fucito, couldn’t finish. Schmid’s second-half subs Nate Jaqua and Roger Levesque didn’t have the skill or speed to penetrate Dallas’ defense.
Meanwhile, star Fredy Montero was bracketed by Dallas defenders and, though he ranged from sideline to sideline, didn’t have room to get the ball.
But then I woke up Thursday to read Schmid praising Fucito and scolding Montero. Were we even in the same stadium?
— Sigi Schmid, What Game Are You Watching?
I'm torn. I agree that's not as inspiring a lineup as I thought it was pregame; I agree Fredy was swamped and frustrated on Wednesday. But what's Sigi supposed to do, conjure up replacements for OBW and Zak?
