Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4186979, member: 1414"] Pinball soccer works except for the lack of a target in the middle. McKennie is decent on headers. None of our strikers seem to be. What I wouldn't give for Brian McBride on a team with these wings (and even Dest and and A Rob out wide). I'm somewhat concerned about physicality. CP, Aaronson, Reyes (if he returns) are not very rugged players. The strategy against our speed seems to be to foul repeatedly, but far enough away from the box that set pieces aren't a threat. Weah seems better able to play through some contact. Pepi has good size but doesn't use it. Sargent isn't well suited to pinball soccer striker target role. I still think Pefok deserves more opportunities. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jan/11/usmnt-striker-qatar-world-cup[/URL] [/QUOTE]
