The Sounders look terrible

I am doing this against my will. Normally I would never be so negative about my home team, but as many of you know Luis can be incredibly irritating when he wants something out of you. I do not see how this is beneficial to anyone, but here goes...

The Sounders are playing so poorly I don't know where to begin. We can not play a ball to feet. We control around 50% of those accurate passes. It takes two to three touches for a player to switch the ball on the defensive end, allowing the opposing team to simply jog and contain. We continuously chip long balls in to Jaqua (who is worse than me in the air), and Montero, who only shows effort 20% of the game. Even that is better than Ljungberg, who skips games when he "isn't feeling well", or when we are playing on old field turf. We have the most red cards in the league. The players know the MLS has the worst officials in the world, so they should be more careful. We have only started 1 GAME with our first 11 this season.

Here is how I would rate the level of play of our starting 11.

Keller- Fantastic. When he called out the team earlier this year for poor effort we saw immediate improvement. 10/10
Leo Gonzalez- I will give him another game or two to gel with the team TBD
Hurtado- Having a good season overall, but 9 yellows is too many. 8/10
Marshall- Inconsistant. Some great performances along with two red cards. QUIT booting the ball to no one! 6/10
Riley- Does well getting involved in the offense, plays in good crosses in the attacking end. 2 Red cards playing at right back? Keep your mouth shut and your hands to yourself. 7/10
Zakuani- Amazing effort, skill, and most importantly, intelligence. he makes great runs, beats people off the dribble, and scores goals. Deserving of a start in his natural position as a striker. 10/10
Alonso- Hard tackles, good vision, good effort. Needs to complete a better percentage of passes and give the ball away less. Probably suffering the most from an inconsistant lineup. 7.5/10
Ljungberg- Take that designated player money and hire a personal chef to cook all your meals for you. How many Arsenal games did you miss because of a headache? 8/10 when he plays, 5/10 overall.
Evans- Still trying to settle after leaving for national team duty. Looked solid before he left. 7.5/10
Jaqua- Has convinced himself that he is a skill player, he is not. Needs to score more goals in the air and win more balls in the air. 6/10
Montero- Bench him. He doesn't care. His injury simulations are embarassing. 10 goals is great, but with his ability he could esily have 20. 2/10

This starting 11 has the talent to win the championship, but it will not happen unless they increase their effort and begin to play intelligent football.
