Seattle Sounders FC sit seventh in MLS with a 10-8-9 record, haunted by nine draws. We analyze the midfield battle between Albert Rusnák's creativity and Jackson Ragen's passing accuracy.

We also examine Dejan Joveljic's two-goal debut against Chicago, comparing his impact to opponents like Lewandowski and Hamzat Ojediran. Plus, roster cut predictions focusing on wide players and the tactical rigidity limiting playoff hopes.

Topics include Andy Thomas's goalkeeping stats, width issues against Colorado Rapids and Sporting Kansas City, and why the Sounders may finish eighth or ninth despite individual brilliance.
