#USMNT roster for 9/3 #USAvCZE: GK - Cropper, Guzan, Rimando; D - Brooks, Cameron, Chandler, Garza, F. Johnson, Orozco, Ream— U.S. Soccer Men's National Team (@USMNT) August 28, 2014
http://liveticker.bundesliga.de/de/co12/se15388/md2/#ma2226782,n1,c1 So TC came on in the 56th minute...and ran 8.48 km, was 3rd on the team with 24 sprints, 2nd with 12 duels won, and had 50 "intensive runs"? Sounds like he really turned on the jets for those ~35 minutes.

I have never rated him defensively, however him at RM is interesting. I find his appearance such that he is easy for me to not like so shame on me for that. Does it look like he will get used there or was that just a have a one off have a look thing?
He used to play RM in his youth days I think, he occasionally was deployed there for Nuremberg. I think he will probably always play a bit of both in his career.
it will take a long while for TC to win me over i dont rate him over anyone to be a starter imo yedlin, fabian, zusi, bedoya are all ahead of him at both FB spots and Mid spots he can be used in friendlies and vs smaller competition
With Full-Backs expected to provide much of the width these days, you expect to see Full-Backs - esp those with real pace - playing RM or LM in case of injuries/suspensions to the wide midfielders or if the coach wants to make a tactical change. Seamus Coleman played a lot of games at RM 2-3 years ago because Everton were OK at RB but had very few options at RM. I'd imagine it's the same with Chandler.
Well, this is YA forum. If you actually watch him play in the BL, you would see what many see in him. He is very talented, can't really judge a player when you only see occasional action from him.
when i do watch him hes not doing anything better than those 4 i listed everything people post about him, just sounds like hes an average player on the pitch not actually contributing to his teams positive production i still keep an open mind, cause anyone can put it together, or find their stride it will just take a while for TC to sway me
