Schmid gutted after another poor Seattle Sounders showing

Seattle Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid was again left disappointed after his side were beaten heavily for the second match in a row.

The Sounders, who lost 5-1 to the Colorado Rapids on the weekend, fell 4-1 to Cascadia rivals Vancouver Whitecaps at home on Wednesday leaving Schmid to find answers to his side's recent downfall.

"Disappointing and poor performance from us tonight. It seems like the last two games, when the other team shoots they score. We have to find a way to stop that," he said.

"We live and die together, we live and die as a team, as a staff, everybody. It's unacceptable from us as a coaching staff, it's unacceptable for us as a team, and it's just unacceptable the last two performances.

"Everything you (the press) say is warranted because obviously we haven't done anything in the last two games to show a difference."

The Sounders remain second on the Western Conference table despite the two-game losing streak, one point behind leaders Real Salt Lake.
