    I did the exact same thing but for Morales...

    I don’t get how hard it was to field this XI (Injuries and u23 included)

    —————-Sargent——————
    Arriola—————————-Morris
    ——————Lletget——————
    ———McKennie——Morales——-
    Dest———————————-Yedlin
    ———Brooks——-Miazga———
    ————Who the ******** ever———

    The entire global market rates numerous players not in our XI, over players in our XI.

    You do that you better win convincingly and look good doing it.

    Now that I think about it I was the first around here asking for Fredo Morales to be given a shot when everybody had forgotten about him and were only thinking Williams.

    I guess McKennie is going to be the guy in charge of marking the Man of the Hour, because Ream is going to be a third CB. Expect nothing generated on our left, Arriola is going to live on crumbs.

    The craziest part of this is that, if as another poster posited, Egg has a % of MLS guys he needs to use, Ream doesn't even count! why the hell is he always starting!?

    Apparently, being an EPL TOTW is not enough to get minutes on 3G's team.

    Pay close attention to the body language of the Euro players tonight after we lost this game. It's gonna get ugly from here on out.

    And to those who suggest 'he will learn from what's happened....' I say sit down and zip it.

    Camp Cupcake squads from 12 years ago would have whipped this lineup.

    At least let's wait until we've lost, please.

    Let us have some hope.

    I saw a rumor on twitter from an American Outlaws member that Egg Head has a bonus in his contract if his rosters are at least 70% MLS players.

    And that person ran the numbers for every match this year and including this match it is 70% MLS for the year.

    I don't trust random fans on twitter but I'm not writing that off. Some of these inclusions suggest there's other shit at play behind the scenes.

    its overkill. you dont need to put a ferrari on a taurus, a charger will blow by it just as, well, always.

    and using your most electric attacker against a very inexperienced player makes all the sense in the world to me.

    they’re not playing because there’s a bias! Same with miazga not making the squad - it’s an obvious institutional decision that has existed since arena’s second term!

    Yueill isn’t any more of a regista than morales. Again, it’s a relative thing.
    Sargent as super sub only works if you’re not giving starter minutes to Zardes. Again, relative

    Morales, Yedlin, and Sargent on the bench? Does Berhalter think he can leave Bundesliga and EPL starters on the bench because he is coaching France or Brazil? It makes no sense.

    I have no words for this lineup. Morales' toughness was missed the last game (he still doesn't have the speed needed for a sole DM role). But Yeuill? I guess the only qualification is being able to hit a diagonal with no pressure. Ream is not horrid at CB but with Brooks, wow look out with the speed. Long better hope he doesn't have a boneheaded play like he likes to do. And Zardes, I mean he is bound to score off his back off a deflection from a defender this game, so there's that.

    I have honestly have no idea how this will actually lineup when we have the ball or without it. And in transition it might be the worst possible 11. Especially looking at the roster. So many other options made much more sense.

    By the way, who, among the eleven, will provide leadership?

    Considering Canada is starting 7 out of 11 MLSers/former MLSers, they may be in on it too.

    how many major leaguers do they have on the bench to play MLSers?

    just want to confirm that you admit there’s a bias. It could be the only victory I celebrate tonight. Still rooting for my team but I’m starting to understand why people want them to lose. Would never have thought I’d write these words.

    I have a busy day tomorrow. If this thing has even a whiff of horror show after five minutes, I'm out. Enough's enough.

    This is his must win game, he's going to the guys he knows.

    3G is too easy to read. Herdman is going to have a field day tonight.

    NO NO NO. With senior Bradley comes MB90 guaranteed. USMNT chance for victory tonite improved with MB90 sitting this one out.
