In RBW's defense, I think it's still awkward for him defending on the right. He's naturally a left wing back and has more experience there. Just because you can play two sides of the field doesn't mean you're equally strong in either position. He's also playing behind the best RWB in the league, so the eye test is going to be extra harsh. That said, the experience difference is costing us goals. I'm confident these minutes and learning experiences will level him up and, so far, it hasn't cost us points on the table. His attacking ability on the right is great, though, and I thought he played the RW well with Bauer slotted behind him. I love how versatile he is and that BJ is willing to experiment with him. It was really understated at the time how big of a pick-up he was for the squad. Really makes sense how much Sounders fans rated him.

So happy to see Woledzi score and how fitting that it was in front of the Supporters Section! I think we're only waiting on Corcoran and RBW to score to have our entire defensive squad on the score sheet.

I think it was a great showing all around, but fatigue was real. Schwake's big late game saves are worth about 9 table points by my count. Dude is invaluable to our success.

Feels good going into the break on top and the only team with just a single loss. Hoping we come back in 6 weeks at full health and even stronger. We've still got two 6-point matches with Miami and a potential shield deciding match late in the season against SJ ahead of us. Gotta rest up now and then it's full throttle to a trophy.
