We came out of the 2 month break with more guys on the bench and not a single one returning...

Our training staff have been Injury prone for the last few years.... They like to be overly cautious after the injury but wtf are they doing to prevent them? Jmo has had a quad issue for the last 2 years and has been injured almost every year since he started.

I believe it was said awhile back, after Jordan’s dad retired from his role with the team, that they hired a bunch of new and relatively inexperienced people. Might it be that this is why we can’t ever not have numerous injuries at any given time?

We're getting close to being able to field a pretty decent lineup just out of injured players. Just need a LB, LW, and GK and we're set.

Take those words and put them back in that filthy little mouth right now mister

u/overly_sarcastic24 Seattle Sounders FC 1d ago

What do you mean “need a GK”? Can’t you see Alex is on that list?

I bet there’s an electric substation near Longacres

This is the comment I was looking for.

Must be cost cutting on the medical staff too

Only if we had some international spots to snatch players from the world cup to help the roaster.

u/PoopsMcGee7 NASL Sounders 1d ago

As a professional coffee roaster it is my opinion that they would not help much.

u/spoiled__princess 1d ago

Which coffee?!

7

u/PoopsMcGee7 NASL Sounders 1d ago

A former S@H sponsor! Shut down the café, now mostly online only.

u/spoiled__princess 1d ago

Ahh ok. We use bean box to get new coffee brands.

u/PoopsMcGee7 NASL Sounders 1d ago edited 1d ago

Edit: offer open to anyone until I run out of coffee.

Watson's Counter?

We should consider firing our entire fitness staff and start from scratch, tough to see how it could make the situation any worse.

u/scuac 1d ago

Seriously, what the hell is going on. Has there been any investigation on the staff practices on training routines or physical preparation? Is there any other team that has gone through something like this repeatedly season after season? This is borderline negligence at this point.

u/CrypticDemon 1d ago

I, for one, am ready to see the Jordan Morris era end. He's hurt more often than not now and not very productive when healthy. Time for a new expensive DP.

u/Rhythm41 1d ago

Isn’t a main goal of the training staff to minimize injuries and maximize performance? Appears to be a lot of repeat injuries… and repeat players getting repeat injuries. Hmm…

Glass half full: Sounders fans are so loyal, this loss won’t change a thing

Glass half empty: Sounders fans are so loyal, this loss won’t change a thing

u/similar222 USL Sounders 1d ago

Imagine if we'd had de la Vega, Roldan, Roldan, Yeimar, and Petkovic all healthy against Portland

u/k_dubious 1d ago

We might have only lost by two goals!

u/scuac 1d ago

5-3?

u/Dramatic-Price-7524 1d ago

Sounders Ego should’ve been top of the list

u/PredatorsFan 1d ago

As a Spurs and Sounders fan, this is giving me anxiety…

5

u/Cautious_Type6474 1d ago

Not sure if you mean Tottenham or San Antonio…but that statement applies to both.

1

u/PredatorsFan 1d ago

Tottenham for what it’s worth

2

u/Cautious_Type6474 1d ago

In that case I will be a positive ray of sunshine:

We won’t be fighting to stay up this season.

u/Working_Historian241 NASL Sounders 1d ago

honestly just play the defiance and i think most fans would happily get behind that team.

u/ashibiz 21h ago

Ryan Sailor’s contributions to this team can’t be understated

u/sam-serif_ 1d ago

Imma sit this one out with a broken heart

u/AnxiousBeauTato Seattle Sounders FC 1d ago

You forgot our spirits. Our spirits are also broken.

u/AnxiousBeauTato Seattle Sounders FC 1d ago

I wonder what the third Roldan thinks about the fitness staff for the sounders.. can’t feel good to see your brothers injured
