Arriola has looked decent. His aimless crosses have been our only threat all night, including the goal. He's better with a true 9 to cross to.
Can I focus on the good plays by Arriola, Tillman, and Luca that set up Jesus to miss the Frame on that header? no, I cannot.
I'm happy for Ferreira. Honestly, I thought tonight was his last chance. Don't score and you are out. At most 2 of [Wright, Ferreira, Pepi] will go, so this game is an elimination game. Wright needs to show something against El Salvador, and Ferreira needs to get a couple more goals to really make the case. I think you want one strong striker who holds the ball up well and one mobile striker. So I think it's really one of [Pepi, Ferreira] that will go to Qatar. Of course, we still have 4-5 months, but Gregg needs to start narrowing the field, and that's what these games are about.
i mean to me the 3 forwards seemingly were picked for pressing ability, the mid shape behind them is 2 DM, we're acting like we're playing england.
What is Grenada playing for at this point? They need to score a goal to get any points, so why put 11 guys behind the ball?
He still hasn't broke out the fake behind the back pass switching to an underhand toss. Or maybe no look. It's awkward when he does it because he usually doesn't need to and changes his position to do it. But hey, whatever makes you happy.
see that worked because it actually went positionless. we way too much just run in channels. arriola cuts in and the dynamic changes. usually we just play him to the flag.
the brigade just collectively orgasmed. i wish i were less relieved to get an insurance goal against grenada...
