U.S. National Team Thread VI #fireJurgen

Not on tv?

 

[Brock Anton]

It's on BeIN Sports and NBC Universo.

 

[Brock Anton]

Jones passes to Jones, it's intercepted by Jones who's fouled by Jones.

 

[Brock Anton]

I expected ugly, but jesus this is bad.

 

[Basement Cat]

Why do we play games against teams our level and lower without a real #10. There's no technical ability on display here.

If we had a midfield trio like this one tonight, would we not be better off?

Nguyen
Benny-Bradley

Nguyen
Benny-Bradley

That midfield would e even more overrun than this one is. No defensive presence.

Beckerman
Bradley - Nagbe

^ that would be fairly ideal right now IMO.

 

[Brock Anton]

Zardes once again, has been completely useless. Every single one of his touches is way too hard.

 

[Basement Cat]

Against teams like this, I don't think so. Benny has proven this season that he can play deeper effectively.

Beckerman is cooked. Would rather start Dax at least

 

[chasespace]

Yedlin is a terribad defender when he's against a pacey winger, which should be his strength

I'd prefer Dax as well, but I was just going by what we've got available.

 

[HajdukSplit]

boring game but its clear Klinsmann is playing it safe and a draw is ok for him

 

[kingsboy11]

Sounds like a good thing that most of the U.S. can't watch this game

 

[Brock Anton]

That's two golden chances Zardes, gotta finish.

 

[Brock Anton]

Nagbe on for Ream with Johnson moving to LB. Good sub, Ream was making Joevin Jones look like David Alaba.

 

[Brock Anton]

Zardes has gone full Danny Welbeck.

 

[Brock Anton]

Meh, it's a point can't really say much else.

 

[chasespace]

That was disappointing

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Is that supposed to be considered a good result?

 

[Brock Anton]

Is that supposed to be considered a good result?

It's not a 'bad' one, and that's all I'll say about it.

 

[John Price]

It is on TV at the bar.

Tough draw

If you can't find it on cable do what I did and head to ao chapter. Although fios out of nowhere unlocked bein and put it on basic cable.

 

[Virtanen18]

I enjoy Landon Donovan's hot takes about the national team.

 

[East Coast Bias]

I enjoy Landon Donovan's hot takes about the national team.

90% of Jurgen's decisions are hot takes

 

[Basement Cat]

One big positive is that Nagbe looks like he will be a big help.

I would love for us to integrate Miazga ASAP as well The kid is better than most of our CBs already.

Go back to relying on our athleticism and physical acumen. Hit teams hard on the counter:

Morris (Or Jozy)
Fabian-Nagbe-Zardes
Bradley-Cameron
Ream-Besler-Miazga-Yedlin

Though a 3-5-2 fits out player pool the best, IMO.

Something like:

Jozy-Morris
Nagbe
Fabian-Bradley-Yedlin
Cameron
Brooks-Besler-Miazga

Yedlin and Johnson would make excellent wingbacks

 

[bluesfan94]

I've been calling for a 3-5-2 for forever now. It's quite clearly what's best given our fullback situation.

 

[John Price]

I was listening to the Planet Futbol podcast and they were talking about this issue with the forwards post-Dempsey. It's not like Dempsey is doing anything right now, the Sounders are eliminated. He could help this team but he's staying at home because Jurgen thinks that it's time for the other boys to step up. Well, the other boys aren't doing anything.

Having Captain America during this WC qualifying would have been big.
