I said fans, not the coaching staff. A decent number of the guys you mentioned just got looks under Sarachan, and there is a long-standing pattern...
But since we still don't have a lot of big league starters, a lot of the time, the argument isn't Big 4 or Big 5 vs. MLS, but rather the next...
Since we didn't get to see Adams a second time, it was really Pulisic at the 10 that was the key tactical wrinkle in these games. For me, Pulisic...
Seems like 14 the CB is Maher, unless Pos plays CB?
Looks like a bunch of halftime subs, including Sargent in. Who all the guys are, I can't recognize them by sight well enough to say. Edit: A....
Yeah. The only guy out there I have never seen before is Pines. Certainly has some talent, but still fits your general description.
I believe it was Jones (6) with the botched clearance there.
It's either that or a 4-3-3 that is looking different from standard because Sabbi is often dropping deeper at RW than Weah is at LW. Mihailovich...
Amaya against a France team is a huge challenge. It is for any US player, but when you are Amaya's size, this is putting him in the deep end as to...
If you are smart enough and objective enough, as you obviously are, to recognize that there are a range of player types and of player abilities...
Europhile/anti-MLS posters, if something like this happens, will always say the MLS guy didn't make the run because he plays in MLS. If a guy who...
Just a general thought about Berhalter versus a lot of our fanbase. This guy wants possession ability from his fullbacks. He recognizes, I think...
If Adams is playing the 6, he won't be able to get into the attack as much as he theoretically will at the right back hybrid role. If this system...
Totally agree here. I am definitely concerned about the range and emergency defending ability of the RCB options right now for this system.
The thing that impresses me about Iran's performance, after I look at the stats, is that despite having only 36 or 37% of possession (depending on...
You have to evaluate players as individuals, regardless of club affiliation, but one of the main reasons, besides prestige, why players in Europe...
7 or 8 games, if we do well and if I'm counting correctly. We will see heavy squad rotation with...whoever the squad actually is.
3/5 back system is a good idea with our current personnel; I'm glad Sarachan finally went to it. It's the best system at least against good...
Finally, the 3/5 back system that we should have been using as our primary system since last year! It might look really bad since it's being used...
Still an argument to be made that Jones is an 8 and not a 6, though, as Ramos used him. Certainly he has almost always played the 8 or the 8/10...
What jumps out to me is the divide in the c-mid options between three mobile, ball-winner types (McKennie, Adams, Roldan) and three...
For some reason, I thought the proposal was for U-19s. I guess a few more U-19s than U-18s will have broken through to the first team, though....
Given that I can read German, a German source would be great. Unfortunately, the translation of German sources in US soccer media can be shoddy at...
I get your point, but it's not a fair comparison when Delgado gets to play with Bradley and Osorio and Roldan has to play with Svensson. Not that...
What's your source that Wright and Taitague would have been available for the full camp? I don't remember that detail. As for Ramos, he took the...
