    This looks like a game between two teams who would rather not be playing this game today.

    Because this is how it would look with Adams, McKennie, etc?

    Nah, I feel bad for him being put in a position to be so clearly seen as out of his depth.

    A 343 often just ends up being a 181. Not really a fan of it. You need an extra cm to connect with the fw's, and there should be a 2nd up the middle so you can play direct to them instead of 1 on an island.

    Switch to a 352, play Reyna as the 10, and Pulisic next to or under Siebatcheu.

    Looks like the bad old days when we played without a functional midfield.

    there was a fair and healthy debate about which MLS vs Euro players could meld on the field together effectively last decade. That is simply not the case anymore. With very few exceptions, there is an absolute chasm between the MLS players and the European based players now. Now more than ever, if players are serious to break into the USMNT, they gotta get overseas ASAP. Because its always an obvious case if which cog is slowing down the rest of the machine.

    Were you talking about ending it today or forever? If you mean end it today, I agree. Wrong personnel.

    Hopefully the formation changes at halftime this is ridiculous.

    Not sure if that’s really true; if Morris’s knee wasn’t made of napalm he’d look perfectly fine on the wing as an MLS player

    The fact that this team lets Pulisic get hacked in a friendly after burning a couple of players without any response is....troubling.

    We'll take it. But it papers over cracks. That is the position I'd like to see Reyna in, central. Made a good step to get by his man, then got some luck.
