Five Takes On The Five Stripes

The one where Seattle looked rattled

1: Getting 3 points on any occasion is always a good thing. Even more so on the road against quality opposition. That being said, I think we were a little fortunate in how poor and how unlucky Seattle was. If we are going to make a run in these last games of the season, we have got to be more clinical in the final third. This game could have and should have been put away much sooner. Home or away, we need to be more ruthless. 

 

2: Mosquera is an unrefined speed monster. You can see the energy and ability he has, but often times he’s a little too anxious in his actions. He’s an interesting player. Right now he has the ability to be impactful but I think there’s more there than just being a little dangerous. If he stays with the club, he’d be one to watch next season in terms of his development. 

 

3: Muyumba was vey good. Notably he won 7/10 of his duels. I think once he develops more chemistry with the team we will see more attacking sequences and outright chances come off off those duels won. It really is a sneaky important stat. 

 

4: Georgios was a monster tonight. His head is gonna need an ice bath. Both goals came off from very strong headers, he won the ball via 4 tackles and I lost count of the number of big defensive headers he had. I think it’s fair to say that we’ve never had a #9 like him. That’s no disrespect to Josef who will always be a king and a legend here. But Georgios puts in more on both sides of the ball. I love it but I also find myself always waiting for the next injury to come for him. He works himself into the ground and has payed the price for it in his brief time here. It’s why a quality backup 9 years I’ll continue to be an important role for this club. 

 

5: If we can follow this performance up with a strong win against Nashville at home where we dominate the game and take our chances better and earlier, than I think I’ll be able to look back on tonight as a measured, controlled and maybe a little pragmatic performance. But if we don’t, I am gonna feel that a poor Seattle performance and some good fortune played a bigger role in the win tonight.
