Welcome to the New England Revolution vs. Seattle Sounders live game thread! The Revs should be well-rested tonight with eight days gone since their 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire last week. The Sounders, meanwhile, are in the midst of a difficult three-game six-day swing after their 4-2 thriller with New York on Thursday.
The key for the Revolution tonight is to hold nothing back. After gaining just two points from their last home stand (where they faced two of the worst teams in the league), the only way to salvage this season is to start picking up three points in as many games as possible, home or away. CenturyLink Field (formerly Qwest) is never an easy place to go and get a result but, unfortunately, the Revs' backs are against the wall and they have to do what they can to claw back up in the standings.
In place of game notes, I'll instead leave you with this little tidbit: The Revs are one of only three teams in MLS history with a winning record against the Sounders.
Lineups and your comments after the jump.

Feilhaber as a forward
By the way. What is this? Out of left field.

Looks to be dropping deeper with Lekic playing up
Feilhaber maybe playing a second-striker sort of role?

I'm not sure how I feel about starting Benny
I understand it may be essential, but their turf is worse than ours. And only 4 weeks for an ankle sprain? That peg isn’t 100%

Lucky Pat
I think yellow was the right call, but man that’s been a red before for other referees

typical inconsistency. glad it went the way it did.

Can't really be angry at that
Great goddamn free kick from Wahl there

Actually
Reis cheated near post. If he’d stayed home he might have had a play on that

Nyassi should have gone wide to Alston!
Open man! instead it’s a giveaway….

Wait
Why Boggs? Nyassi was doing fine! And Guy just set up Lekic!
Founder and Editor of The Bent Musket on SBNation
these subs
make no sense. I would have taken out Phelan, pulled Feilhaber back in the mid and put Nyassi up top with Lekic. this is stupid. another reason why we need to replace Nicol?
Could be
I’d have kept either Nyassi or Guy on, myself. Feilhaber definitely needs to be in midfield.

And now...
…let’s welcome Revolution alum Pat Noonan

Benny's passing has been poor
And Lekic’s first touch is still pretty bad when he’s not facing goal or in the box. These things are killing every attack.
Founder and Editor of The Bent Musket on SBNation
really bad game for Feilhaber, excluding the first 10 minutes

that right there had to be the most passing i saw all game. a solid 45 seconds of passing. and then Alston losing it.
I know
This isn’t looking good

Officiating has been just bad.
One-sided in favor of the Sounders, but he’s still missing calls for them, too. Important ones.
Founder and Editor of The Bent Musket on SBNation
Defender off for Schilawski
Can’t say I’m upset with this development
Founder and Editor of The Bent Musket on SBNation
If that's a 2nd yellow on Pat that's unjust
Wahl jawed him in the foot
Founder and Editor of The Bent Musket on SBNation
good reffing
First real instance of it in this match
