It's a good place for them to play. The match was pretty much played on one half of the field, with of course the side changing at half time. So for half the match, were you w a y aways from the action? Jedi's back flip was pretty amazing.....maybe the play of the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ream played a nice game, even though he and Carter-Vickers didn't need to defend. His long pass distributions were effective. I thought Balogun looked lost out there. Pepi appears to be our super sub, but I'm all for giving him a chance to start again. Tillman and Pareds were just okay getting some experience, but when Pulisic and Weah are healthy, they will be nice depth on the bench. We need a head hunter on corners. Didn't see anyone with a killer attitude on any of the 10 corners. The atmosphere appeared to be great down there particularly in the second half, @TheA_Bomb. Did you make the video feed? I think Tillman was pretty bad all night especially in the first half. Balogun definitely hasn't asserted himself the way I had hoped. Pepi continues to make it tough to pencil Flo in every game.

HoosierPal Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 What the heck was Dest thinking. Just shut up and play. Totally selfish and idiotic. I trust Ream reamed him a new one at half. Liked the shove Turner gave Dest pushing him towards the locker. This is the second time he has been red carded this year. More drama for Gregg to handle. stmdragons likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Dest is tricky. He is a special player in terms of ability when motivated. He can do some things with the ball very few, if any, other players in the player pool can do. With that said, that’s twice he’s been sent off in important games. Tough to justify that risk in a Copa America/World Cup game. Guess the question is, is the fall off from him to Scally great enough to be worth chancing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know, he is out for the next Nation's League game in March. Scally would be my pick, now, but there is time to look at options.

I really like Scally, and we are not as reliant on Dest’s on ball creativity as we were even 2 or 3 years ago, now that some more creative attackers have started coming through. I do fear we may see the return of Deandre Yedlin or Reggie Cannon at some point, neither of whom do anything for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer players who have been in a CONCACAF street fight over those that haven't. Even though Dest apologized to the team, I fear that our opponents will have Dest circled as a target to intimidate, hoping for a repeat performance. After all this is twice in 2023 for red card ejections. For those who missed the ejection: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
