slufanskip Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It’s no different than basketball. Any time something doesn’t achieve what you thought it should have, as a fan you are required to assume that whatever you thought should have been done would have achieved your desired results. Therefore it’s a coaching mistake. Pulisic certainly didn’t have a good game. He also seems to go down to easy and then complain about not getting a call.

Turnover machine which is completely unlike his normal game. I was OK with JF first miss as he did a sweet job creating the shot. The second miss however….Pepi or Sargent go with their left foot and score, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Interesting story out of Canada. Tim Weah isn't with the team, as he doesn't comply with Canada's covid rules. Weah got the first vaccination shot, then he contracted covid before he was scheduled to receive his second shot. He recovered just fine but never got the second shot. In France, where he plays, his situation qualifies as vaccinated. In Canada, he doesn't. Screwy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Christian Pulisic plays on the left wing of the 4-3-3, he never stretches the field. His first, last and at times only instinct is to come back to the ball, point at his feet, go inverted and try to dribble three guys. It’s like the weight of that No. 10 makes him think he’s got to be Messi out there. So he turns the ball over a frankly unacceptable percentage of the time – 15 turnovers on 30 touches in the first half on Thursday. https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/the-usmnt-s-pulisic-problem-lessons-learned-from-el-salvador-what-to-expect-at-c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how a 433 works with an overlapping fullback like Robinson. He’s supposed to tuck inside. does he come too deep sometimes? Sure. That’s a reasonable gripe. never change, pro-MLS doyle. also, you don’t yank Pulisic. Just like Ford didn’t yank Perkins on a bad night. Pep doesn’t yank KDB. Only takes one good run to completely change a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re going to need it… Also, did Twellman say he was yanked? Balboa commented he was taken off to save for Canada…and Balboa never sugarcoats anything .

TheA_Bomb Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Way too hard to find this USMNT coverage on Paramount+. I know what it is and I have a subscription (if you subscribe to 247sports you get 1 FYI) but there was no link on splash page. Anyway, Davis is the best player in this tournament, Reyna has the most potential but is either playing today? I don't see them listed Reyna still has a hammy? I saw the 1-0 snooze fest in KC for the Gold Cup live. If no Davies US has a slight edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 This crap where refs continually allow players to delay the game by picking up the ball after a foul and walking away with it or tossing it away when it’s not your teams ball needs to stop.
