USMNT: Hold My Beer
- Thread starter Titans Bastard
- Start date
Pulisic just doesn’t look good at all. Might be the worst US player not named Ferreira on the field.
They need to play everything through Musah.

I think Musah is a fantastic player but playing as a right footer on the left has had him recycling everything centrally and left the left side barren.
Bringing only Robinson for LB and him playing below his standards is not ideal.
I feel like when Berhalter fucks around with roster balance he inevitably finds out pretty quickly.

Robinson is one of those chaos players. Nobody really knows what he’s up to but he puts a lot of pressure on the defense and occasionally does good things by volume.
How small is their keeper? He looks like a child in goal

And they go and totally redeem themselves! (Yes i realize it was the right side creating the play, just love the quote).
Ferreira has taken criticism for his misses, but I don't think he has been bad tonight. Sometimes finishing doesn't go a player's way.
Pepi wouldn’t have gotten to the crosses that didn’t beat the first guy either, true.
ESPN too busy telling me Jeff Fisher is coaching in the USFL to flash that on the ticker
It’s fun watching a guy like Dest realizing in real time the USMNT have maybe never had a player like him?
CP is compounding poor play by refusing to make simple passes/decisions.
He’s been doing it all year. Lots of ink has been spilled on it but apparently it’s legal
We've got to find a way to get Pulisic back on track with the USMNT. Lately he's been a far cry from the kid who carried the team during the last WCQ cycle.
He’s not on form for Chelsea either. Like my complaint earlier with Turner he needs to play regularly and Chelsea ended up being a poor move. He’s swapping positions and rotating constantly plus injured all the time — I don’t see how the usmnt can fix this
Thought this was an interesting stat about Pulisic. Also, Doyle has pointed out a few different times how much Pulisic struggles when he plays on the left rather than the right.

Absolutely. It is crazy the stat posted upthread about CP - Dest - Adams - McKennie having never played a meaningful minute together until tonite.
Dest is such a unique, and not typically American, talent. He pulled a ball move earlier that blew my mind, esp coming from a back.
Is he just off footed and uncomfortable?
as teddygb points out there are club issues also
But Gregg seems he needs to find a way to help the best player (ok top 4 to not quibble) optimize how he can succeed.
Ya but didnt Owen advert those Adidas Predator cleats? The ones that has the studs in a circle on the front. CP hasnt done that!
I was always a Puma / Diadora guy myself
Feels like we are playing pretty lackadaisical suddenly. Need to keep pushing for a second goal.
Dest plays with a fluidity and flair that is distinctly un-American. He’s a really exciting player to watch, especially when he’s the best player on the pitch for either side.
