Seattle Sounders 3-0 New England Revolution · MLS, Matchday 29 · Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, October 10 · Goals: Hassani Dotson, Dejan Joveljić, Paul Arriola · Seattle now 7th in the West on 41 points.

Four straight wins, nine unbeaten and another big-time road result. Seattle's turnaround is gathering momentum, and the mood among supporters has shifted dramatically. Postgame calls after this one ranged from renewed confidence in the team's championship credentials to a seldom-seen, full-throated defense of general manager Craig Waibel.

What fans said

Robb delivers his signature “Waibel In” Agenda In a time where it's not necessarily popular to say so, Robb has reiterated his endorsement of Craig Waibel, arguing that the oft-criticized GM deserves credit for the squad's recent uptick in form. Will the Waibel in agenda gain traction among the fanbase?

William sees a team having fun again. After attending Sounders training earlier in the week, William noticed a happier, more competitive atmosphere around the squad. That energy has been increasingly evident during the games. It feels like the Sounders are finally playing with renewed confidence and joy.

Hunch is done talking about the losing streak. Four consecutive wins and nine matches unbeaten were enough for Hunch to suggest it's time to focus on the present rather than the summer struggles. There's Philip to play for.

J. Skor isn't abandoning the ambition discourse. Calling in from Australia, J. Skor credited Waibel's ability to identify proven MLS talent while maintaining that Seattle's recent success doesn't erase years of questionable transfer-market ambition. Joveljić's impact, he argued, shows exactly why investing in premium players matters, as the Serbian striker has stayed red-hot since arriving in Seattle.

The take that's right

J. Skor had the most compelling perspective of the night. Seattle's resurgence is real, and Waibel deserves recognition for assembling a roster capable of producing these performances. But winning four straight doesn't necessarily invalidate the concerns supporters raised when the club was struggling.

Petar Musa presents another difficult assignment for a defense that's coming off a big clean sheet against the Revs. The Sounders have navigated their recent schedule well, but maintaining that momentum against another Western Conference contender will be crucial. Watch the Cristian Roldan–Hassani Dotson partnership in midfield and whether Seattle can continue their run of resurgent attacking play after producing another multi-goal game.
