Jordan Morris didn’t hesitate when asked about how he benefits from a new attack formation the Sounders have tinkered with all pre-season.
The 4-4-2 diamond formation uses two strikers up top, presumably with Morris and Will Bruin getting the bulk of time there. Clint Dempsey will also see striker action within the formation, which deviates from the team’s more recent 4-2-3-1 alignments with a lone forward up high.
“I think playing with another forward is beneficial for me,’’ Morris said Monday, as the Sounders worked out their primary team in Tukwila for the first time since opening camp three weeks ago.
