Some of those were yellow card suspensions, serves you right, we had our fair share of those earlier in the season. Seattle was missing Marshall, Alonso, and Evans, our friggin spine. Nobody seems to mention that without Alonso on the field our D-Mid region of the field is woefully under manned and open for attack. That first goal would not have happened because 1) Ianni wouldn't have been on the field, 2) Alonso would have come back and blown up whatever passing lanes that allowed Houston to tiddlywinks that ball around. Yeah I agree with you, subtract that montero goal and the sounders still would have scored a couple. They retracted in the second half after getting the lead because they didn't want to get chewed out by Keller again for trying tack on some extra goals. They tried that versus DC United and they got burned, I think they learned from their mistakes. Houston was missing a bunch of players, blah blah blah.
