Message: [QUOTE="UConnDan97, post: 2327284, member: 2305"] I can still feel comfortable with not agreeing with Lalas on a lot of that. ;) First, of course it is on Arena at this point. He has to get his tactics right and his lineup right. I don't think he's done that with either one. I'm not going to get into the fact that some of these players are underdeveloped in part to Klinsmann, because I know where that conversation will get us all. Second, on the player-by-player analysis; Yes, I understand the frustration of wanting more from Altidore. At this point, he is what he is. Maybe I'm more frustrated with the fact that we keep going to the Altidore well, expecting sparkling water to suddenly come from it. It won't. The "wonder boy" Pulisic doesn't merit a mention??? Alexi, the kid is the best player we have. If you aren't able to come to that conclusion, perhaps you shouldn't be doing color commentary for soccer. Dempsey needs to become the leader??? Is that in the 25 minutes he's on the field, or should he just give a rousing halftime speech? The problem is the guy is full of hyperbole and nonsense, to the point that when he makes a good point like the fact that Howard shouldn't be our keeper anymore, that he surrounds it with 12 pounds of crap. Maybe part of the renaissance of soccer for us could be[I] getting better game analysis..[/I]. :eek: [/QUOTE]
