The Seattle Sounders are in dire straits. And with a club-record seven-straight losses after Sunday night’s 2–0 defeat to Cascadia Cup rivals Vancouver Whitecaps, legendary manager Brian Schmetzer is calling for improvements to the team’s roster.
“We need a little bit more,” Schmetzer said when asked about potentially calling up 19-year-old striker Mark Bronnik from the second team to help the Sounders’ attacking production struggles. “Bronnik is a nice kid... I know who he is. He's got some good starting points, good young talent, but [MLS]is a bit much of a jump, in my opinion.”
