To be fair, Weah hasn't really played much at a level above MLS and he's now torn his hammie 3x. I'm hopeful but I have my doubts.
couldn’t disagree more (hyperbole aside). Asking mediocre CBs to cover a lot of area and account of outside backs who are known for offensive...
sticking a guy who’s in the game for offensive purposes behind two good defensive players isn’t 7 defensive bodies, it’s six but with an offensive...
IIRC, Jones was told that he was there to support Mike and he wondered why it wasn't the other way around. it worked obviously even though they...
I appreciate the data driven analysis that you provide. that being said, the main point is that we lost and he was one of our two CMs. I tend to...
better than what? If you're asking whether I think that Steffen Dest-CB-Brooks-ARob McKennie Adams Reyna/CP/Morris Sargent is worse defensively...
completely disagree. Long and Ream are adequate defenders as a CB but CBs are better defenders than most two-way players. furthermore, Yueill...
but I’d want a good defender there....
Why do posters here give a pass to Nagbe while crucifying chandler for far less offensive transgressions while being a much better player? I...
i would put Morris as the 9 even if we went with Yueill.
Can someone explain to me why putting Yueill behind Adams and McKennie and in front of Brooks makes the team better? clearly not on defense as...
So, in order to beat out a player who is average at best in MLS, Reyna has to do what for BVB? Why does Reyna have to "look great" at a higher...
We can wish that Berhalter wasn't the coach but he's not getting fired unless we underperform in the early stages of qualifying. Therefore, we...
As arena said (when he was a good international coach), the World Cup is a young man’s game and FCD/MLS isn’t at that level. A growing consensus...
I miss @Nutmeg.
respectfully, the problem is that certain players (primarily MLS based) have to play themselves off the USMNT due to REPEATED poor performances...
if he cools down for either club or country, his leash may be short but right now, he's our guy!
We are where we are (and Morales was one of the few decent players against Mexico, despite covering for Trapp). The alternatives are Roldan,...
im all for our youth heading to elite training grounds to learn from and compete internally against the best but I also recognize that they’re...
I absolutely agree that our coach should be integrating high ceiling talent early as opposed to late - what's the harm in taking a look in camp....
I don't understand posters who don't want Morris in the lineup. If a preferred system forces us to make choices between two good players and...
Need to improve his one-on-one tackling but I see the resemblance. Since we're comparing players - I think that Morales is a poor man's Bedoya...
i think empirically that the Barca youth reserve teams play opposition that is lower quality than MLS teams.
I understand the question and this is why coaches are paid well. They should be frequently scouting high "in-the-future" ceiling candidates in...
could he be better than MLS guys even though he’s at a lower level? it’s possible but I wouldn’t bet on it. It’s similar to assuming that a young...
