He's an upgrade over Wondo for sure!

Which is exactly what we are looking for. Jozy isn't a starter and isn't effective in as a sub. Much of the 18 roster will need to include addition by subtraction either in minutes or roster spots.

Arena announced that there are going to be a few changes tonight. Any info out there as to which changes? I suppose this would be the time to experiment, but I'd like us to identify 2 or 3 players that can break through the main squad if possible...

Given the play of the back line in Nashville. There needs to be changes.

I'm wondering if we'll see Miazga. I haven't seen much of him since New York and would like to get another chance...
 
I just got my answer. Starting lineup announced on Facebook:

Guzan, Hedges, Lichaj, Gonzalez, Morrow, Morris, Roldan, Zardes, Agudelo, Arriola, Acosta.

Let's go get em, boys...
 
Matt Hedges? I don't watch much MLS but he sucked against Haiti.
 
Attempting an intentional Boneyard Jinx.

Zardes sucks - guy can't finish.

If Jordan Morris and Zardes go to Russia I might quit following this team.

I actually think that Zardes had been one of the better players on the field for us tonight.

Of course, that's more of an indictment than a compliment... :(
 
Not saying it's going to happen but when was the last time the US didn't make the knock out round. Right now they are on the outside looking in with Panama getting the win today. There's still a half to go but for goodness sake, it's flipping Martinique and we can't score a goal?

A crappy (or scrappy) Gonzalez goal may have just saved us from getting embarrassed by an island with a population less than the city of El Paso...

Sorry about that.

United States 1, New London County 0

(I would have said New Haven County, but that would be almost 3x the population of Martinique)
 
Finally, a moment of quality!
 
Ugh! Two moments of quality. One of high quality, and one of poor quality... :oops:
 
I'm just spitballin here but it might be time to move on from Guzan...
 
Thank you, Jordan! Good grief.

Tonight is what happens when you make a bunch of changes and expect everyone to play cohesively. Arena should have just picked three or four to switch to get a better evaluation and a better performance, I think...

I think it's more about what happens when you sit many of your best players and replace them with stiffs.
 
I'm starting to think Brad Guzan might not be a long term answer.
 

Oh, there's no doubt in anyone's mind that this is the C team. But the reason for bringing the C team was to evaluate certain players to see if they could advance to the main squad. Why not put the best of them out there at the same time?

A: Because we didn't respect Martinique.

Bad move...
