Will Bruin has scored twice off the bench for the Rave Green. Does he now deserve to start against the Galaxy this Sunday?

To put it honestly, the Sounders have hard a hard time creating opportunities going forward so far this season. In the past three games against Atlanta, San Jose and Vancouver, Seattle has only scored two goals, one off a bit of individual brilliance from Nicolas Lodeiro and another consolidation goal from Will Bruin, but struggled in the attack. Now, as Seattle tries to fix their attacking woes, should Will Bruin start for the Sounders?

Will Bruin has come off the bench as a sub in five games, putting in 51 minutes of work and scoring two goals in that time, one being a last gasp equalizer against Montreal and the other being from last weekend. That is one more goal that Jordan Morris who has played 531 minutes this season. Does this mean Bruin should start over Morris? Some would argue yes, but I would like to see something different.

In last season’s MLS Cup winning run, the Sounders had a revitalized Nelson Valdez up top, pushing Morris out to the wing. Though Morris’ best position is as the point striker, Will Bruin’s goal scoring ability could be better used up top, pushing Morris and his pace out wide, taking Harry Shipp out of the starting line-up for now. Though this may not seem like the best XI on paper, the Sounders need to make some changes up top to start pushing their way up the table.

Right now, Will Bruin has been the most dangerous attacking option for the Sounders, especially on crosses. His inclusion into the starting XI would give Seattle a different option going forward as well, making their attack more unpredictable.

Kickoff for the Sounders Sunday will be at 4pm EST (1pm PST) at the StubHub Center
