The chart from last year's CCL match down at Monterrey always makes me tear up a bit. So close, yet so far.

Josh Mayers just tweeted
the starting IX from that game.
Boss, Scott, Marshall, Graham, Wahl, Estrada, Seamon, Fernandez, Montano, Fucito, Jacqua.
Is that right?
Do we dare consider that we might actually field something similar to a starting IX this time around?
"starting IX"
It is only fair to Monterrey that we put nine players on the pitch. It gives them a sporting chance.
(Seriously though, if that is what Sounders started last time then it makes me optimistic that we could pull one off if we put on our league starting XI.)

That was last years line up
Marshall and Montano aren’t on the team anymore.
I know.
In referring to “that game” I was referring to the one charted out above.
I find myself being reassured that the team that dropped two and who gave up a quick three had no Montero, Keller, Riley, Parke, Hurtado, Alonso, or Rosales.
Assuming we play something similar to our starting IX, Monterrey is facing a vastly improved side over the one they eked out a win on last year.
Not to be a dick but... IX=9, XI=11

Graham
Joshua Mayers also tweeted that Graham was on the plane to Monterey. If we are using a starting 11, why did he even travel? worried
well, he was in the team picture from the airplane
one think i’m pretty certain of is that we won’t see a regular starting XI. Those guys can’t play 4 games in 10 days with two 100 degree days in the middle.

At least until the Sounders Medical Team perfects cloning technology
Or cybernetic implants. C’mon Virginia Mason hat’s taking so long! ;-)
Oh they can
Rosales just needs to take a lock of his hair, put it in the Gatorade, say a little blessing, and each player gets +100 health plus an up armor bonus.

Saving throws. There is a Keller reference somewhere.
:) Good one.
Sports. Right?

0 points on 3 matches last year coming into Monterrey Away
Circumstances were different with the chance for advancement all but lost. Hence the reason for the B squad lineup. I wouldn’t be shocked to see some of those faces show up given that they stood toe-to-toe with Monterrey for much of the game. Here’s my projected starting XI:
Boss, Riley, Ianni, Scott, Wahl, Noonan, Alonso, Frieberg, Fernandez, Jaqua, Fucito
I think this is what redemption feels like
And I kinda like it. Boss, especially, has got to feel stellar after pulling off the clean sheet in this one.
