Then, we shift into the ongoing discourse: who should lead the Sounders' attack? Was Danny Musovski's goal against San Diego enough to earn him a run in the starting role? We also address the emerging left-back issue after Nouhou appeared to take a knock late in the match, who might need to step in, and how that change could affect the lineup. Later on, we preview a daunting midweek matchup with the high-flying, league-leading San Jose Earthquakes and outline adjustments Seattle must make to survive a side in excellent form. Finally, we scan MLS Matchday 12, highlight LAFC's surprising collapse to Houston, and consider whether Concacaf Champions Cup fatigue is a league-wide factor.
