Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 1891681, member: 55"] 1. Seems pretty clear that the team has quit on JK. Regardless of the reasons, he now needs to go. I'm guessing the last straw was him publicly blaming Brooks, Bradley and Jones for the loss to Mexico, when the players must all be blaming him for the formation. 2. That having been said, all 11 starters should be embarassed to put on their uniforms next time. Possible exception of Bobby Wood. 3. Fabian has to play LB, unless we have an answer for the position that we haven't seen yet. (The two names we haven't seen would be Robby Rogers, who hasn't had a sniff of a call up since coming out of the closet, and the former Timber now playing in Mexico whose name escapes me. But playing a center back with no speed outside isn't the answer. And I don't care if Chandler is all league in the Bundestag -- I don't want to see him in an important game any time soon. 4. If we go back to Copa, there were many here who whined and whined and whined about how unskilled Zardes and Bedoya were on the flanks, and didn't care that they worked harder than anyone else on the squad tracking bag and playing D. Thanks Obama. Boy, we sure looked great with skilled Bundesliga players on the flanks instead. 5. Jones, coming off his injury at his age, should not have been asked to go back out there and start last night. But he and Bradley were just not good enough over these two games. Whether or not there is a coaching change, new options need to be explored. Whether it's playing Klejstan (who I thought earned more of a chance of the last round of qualifiers), getting Fielhaber back into camp, trying a new pure defensive Beckerman type (whether we give Morales more of a look or try Dax McCarty or Kitchen) to pair with Sachs or Benny, whatever. I'm just afraid we're past the "use by" date on Bradley and JOnes. Embarassing and disgusting. Sports should not be allowed to be played in November any more. [/QUOTE]
