Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 3264699, member: 2141"] I watched the game and wish I had a few more beers during the macth, though that may have cost me a TV or at least a dress-down from the misses for swearing my head-off after the kids went to bed. Just painful. A couple of my observations in no order... [LIST] [*]Pulisic - Had a good game; but, can't do it alone, though he does try. [*]McKennie - Had an off game, in part due to Mexico's deep press, which the US had issues with all night, has he had to keep shifting deeper and deeper. I would also prefer to see him in the middle and then linking-up with Pulisic out wide or up front. [*]Dest - Showed some promise and also made mistakes, which si going to happen to an 18 year-old against a veteran Mexico team [*]Steffen - I am still not sure if he is really the #1 keeper or if Horvath should be. Not sure if it was his fault of the idiot on the sidelines who kept trying to short-pass teir way out of the box with Mexico running all over them. [*]Trapp - Actually makes me wish for Bradley, which is not a good thing. [*]Morales - Was not afraid to go face-to-face with Mexico, the team needs more of that [*]Long - Made a mistake (join the club); but, is growing on me. [*]Zardes - The fact that he started shows me a lot about the direction of this team and it's manager, none of which is positive. [*]Sargent - He needs to start, period. Just watch this goal - ([MEDIA=twitter]1168161230256820230[/MEDIA]) [*]Berhalter - Simply stated, I do not want him as the USMNT manager for the 2022 World Cup cycle. He bends-over backward for questionable MLS players, puts players out of their natural in-season positions, and cannot adapt (see continued high pressure of the back-line and keeper) during a game [*]Tata - My understanding is that the USSF could have hired him as the manager before Mexico grabbed him and USSF went with Berhalter. WTF!? [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
