MNT’s 2022

[HuskyHawk]

Here's a good montage of Sargent that leaves out his 2 best plays of the season, IMO:

Yeah, I don't watch Norwich, but I saw maybe one example of a cross from the wings in that video. He'd have to play more like Dempsey, and it seems like we love to push it down the side and cross. Maybe that will change with all of Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie, Aaronson, Musah healthy.

You get 5 subs in this WC. Everyone os going to play meaningful minutes except the backup keepers and guys at the very end of the bench, even if yellow cards are low. The Mon/Fri/Tues schedule will also lead to different starting XI's from GGG.

Would gave preferred to play Eng, Iran, then Wales, but those are the breaks.

 

[UConn990411]

It’s looking like the starters will be:
Turner
Carter-Vickers
Musah
De La Torre
Dest
Aaronson
McKennie
Robinson
Pulisic
Weah

No Reyna would be a bit disappointing, but I’m sure he’ll get plenty of playing time regardless. If he’s healthy, though, it’s just hard to keep him out the starting lineup.

 

[Excalibur]

Sucks that we'll only be starting 10 guys.

I assume you left Adams out.

 

[upstater]

Uh... defenders? 3 in the back no CB?

Why in the world would you say that????

You assumed correct, lol

Uhh where are you getting this?

 

[ZooCougar]

Turner
Dest
Robinson
Zimmerman
Ream
Adams
Musah
McKennie
Pulisic
Sargent
Reyna

That’s my best guess. But I really want Aaronson out there.

 

[SubbaBub]

Turner
Dest
Robinson
Zimmerman
Ream
Adams
Musah
McKennie
Pulisic
Sargent
Reyna

That’s my best guess. But I really want Aaronson out there.

I can see Aaronson as a sub for either Reyna or Musah. It's not a horrible idea to hold him in reserve to see how the game is going. It's easier than the reverse subbing in Reyna late or ugh De la Torre.

I think GGG is committed to rolling the dice on subpar 9's hoping for a freak goal.

I can’t wait for him to be gone.

 

[ZooCougar]

Okay this is my final prediction



Turner
Dest Zimmerman Ream Robinson
Adams (C) Musah
McKennie
Reyna Weah Pulisic

 

[ZooCougar]

Here is another twist. Weah has been playing RB for Lille and Dest may not be 90 minutes fit. Maybe you get Aaronson in the lineup that way.

 

[ZooCougar]

Ok McKennie not 100% so Aaronson.

Joe Allen is out for Wales.

 

[SubbaBub]

Okay this is my final prediction



Turner
Dest Zimmerman Ream Robinson
Adams (C) Musah
McKennie
Reyna Weah Pulisic

I would like to see this, but Sargent will start up top. Weah/Reyna/Aaronson is a flip. My guess is Weah because, Greg.

If we had better CB's. Rather not try this in the most crucial match of the group.

Yeah. If Dest isn’t ready then go with Yedlin. Weah can be an attacking option off the bench.

Reyna has to be in the 11. We have to get 3 points tomorrow.

With Joe Allen out Wales will likely have to start a CB in the midfield. We need to attack that.

 

[meyers7]

Ok who had ??
Turner
Dest Zimmerman Ream Robinson
Musah Adams McKennie
Weah Sargent Pulisic

 

[BlueandOG]

Wales won the National Anthem. Almost none of our guys sang it - and Wales sounded amazing. Let's hope we play better.

 

[UConn990411]

Not even 20 minutes in and we have a garbage official taking over the game.

 

[meyers7]

Timmy Weah!!!

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Tremendous half. Didn’t give Wales anything and completely dominated. Pulisic has been great, finding pockets when he can. As the commentary said, Ream hasn’t put a foot wrong. Don’t know why it was even a question if he would start and is the best LCB we have.

Gotta keep up the intensity, but so impressed thus far.

 

[ZooCougar]

Ream, Pulisic, Musah, Adams and Weah have been awesome.

Only one MLS scrub out there plus Bale

 

[UConn990411]

Horrible half.

But not shocking when you’re as poorly coached as this team is.
