TUKWILA, Wash. — Josh Atencio was blunt in his assessment of the Seattle Sounders’ performance over the weekend, a 2-0 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps.
“Not good,” the midfielder said following Wednesday’s training session at Starfire Sports. “From top to bottom, as a group and individually, we weren’t technically sharp, we didn’t play together as a group and I think it showed. The number of sloppy giveaways we had and guys not being on the same page, you could watch the game and see we weren’t good.”
One recurring problem during the Sounders’ recent turn in form has been a penchant for falling behind.
