WCQ: US vs T & T: General Postgame Thread(R)

1 point! That's all that matters!

 

Clint was CLEARLY the problem with the offense. Glad we left him at home.

 

God willing this is the last time we have to suffer through Klinsmann and his incompetent roster construction and inept coaching

 

Disappointing performance.

 

Another first for Klinsmann - first US manager to fail to take 3 points in a qualifier that matters in T&T

 

Solid but incredibly unspectacular result. Zardes worst player for us.

 

dempsey was invisible out there tonight.

 

Man of the Match: Anyone who sat through all 90 minutes

 

I'm getting to the point where I don't even want to watch the games.

 

We played well in the second half, lacked the final incisive ball but at least we dominated possession. Zardes should have put that chance away, but I can take some positives from the second half. We dictated the tempo against a solid opponent on the road, that is clearly better than what we had done in the past several outings.

 

Result was good.

Awful corners. Bradley's passing was erratic at the absolute best. Zardes has no polish. Nagbe displays some genuine class and touch.

 

Good: Besler-Cameron, Orozco, Jozy, Jones (did a lot of dirty work today), Nagbe from what I saw
Meh: Yedlin, FJ, Ream, Wood, Howard
Bad: Bradley, Zardes

We probably should have won.

 

You couldn't say that today either. T&T were clearly better, especially in the midfield

 

I am fine with 1 point if the score is 2-2. 0-0 really should not deserve a point.

 

Absolutely. We were extremely unlucky not to score.

 

One absolutely crystal clear trend from all players with the exception of FJ and Nagbe. The ability to receive the ball, control it, and release the pass with one additional touch and less than 2 or 3 seconds is not there.

If I have to watch Michael Bradley take seven touches and 5 seconds or more to decide what to do and do it I am going smash my TV with my shoe or fist or something. He has become the place that all attacks go to die. What in the hell is Klinsmann doing.

You break down a defense by working the ball around quickly, not by running and looking and hoping.

This team looks poor.

Zardes, Bradley and Altidore all need to sit.

 

What game were you watching? USA clearly better, should have won.

One of the better #USMNT performances in recent months if we're being honest: 89% passing, 63% possession. Just lacking a bit in final third

Fair opinion I think.

 

Just meh, but point on the road is the winning formula.

 

Zardes is highly overrated in my book. Jones and Bradley does not generate chances. Flavor of the month Darling showed me nothing. And as hard as I am on Jozy most of the time, I think he did better tonight than he did last time out. In fact, one of his better games in quite a while. He gift wrapped a cross to Zardes who failed to do what every forward is taught to do with headers on net. Could not ask for a better cross and he actually had two of them.

 

We were the better team today. We had better chances overall.

 

We are going to bunker in Guatemala and hope Dempsey nicks one.

 

Nagbe looks talented
