>>140215315Haji is better than weah
Mou IN
>>140215845He's linked to us?
>>140221158The ideal Gregg replacement.
>>140215315Shit players
Ricuckdo Peepee
First for Sargent
>>140225753God no
>>140221158no, he isn’t. this retard just spams it for no reason every threadhe isn’t linked to us and thankfully never will be. washed manager who will probably demand 10x the salary of gregg
>>140228716Mou would be a terrible manager for usYou dumb fucks just care about Euro namesAt least pick a manager who would actually help the teamLike van Gaal
>>140236142Van Gaal is like an angrier and more autistic Mourinho. Mou is perfect for us and can teach us the bunker ball bus parking tactics that can allow us to pull a Porto/Greece at the upcoming world cup. Bunkering is our only hope and Mou can show us the way.
tessmann is too good. Adumbs will be benched for good soon
>>140215512They're not even the same type of forward. >>140215845Fuck no. Busparking is 2010.>>140225753Had an assist today. He really is a top striker in the making.>>140238051I actually think Cardoso is the one making Adams redundant. He is physical like Adams but can also pass.
>>140236632We don't fucking need bunkerballWe don't have a team for playing bunkerballMeanwhile van Gaal once won the Champions League with an Ajax team whose average age was 24
i've said it before in this general- if we can't get mou, and want to be realistic, go get curtin
>>140241196That Ajax team had real talent almost every position. We don't have that luxury.
>>140239120Johnny isn't a 6He would replace Musah
>>140241276We also don't have smart savvy veterans that would make a bus parking team lethal
>>140241609Wrong, you clearly dont watch him at Betis.
>>140241672Johnny's attacking abilities would be better suited replacing Mush as the shuttlerHe has passing abilities and has a better final product than Musah
Not news to anyone I think but Matt Miazga and Miles Robinson are so bad kek they're fucking lost tonight
>>140244604They were fine and they won
>>140245247Not sure what you were watching, Cincy won in spite of those guys looking awful. It helped that Fatlanta is fucking trash, too.
>>140245525The only real criticism you have is they're in MLS
>>140236632>Mou is perfect for usyou can’t unironically think this he would be terrible for the USA.
>>140245247>>140245955Every time you show you have zero ball knowledge doyle. Learn to accept criticism of dogshit players instead of pretending it's secretly about muh anti-mls.
>>140215315Racist retard big nose andeye freaks white pigs are livestock that masturbate to anime cartoons and discriminate against Asia. They should be killed.white=jew=cockroachmud blood White cockroach go self hanghttps://hugelol.com/lol/466622https:/youtube.com/@therealtrue842
>>140245955Nah, I'm an mlsfag. They're generally decent (though overrated) by MLS standards but they were awful today.
>>140247322This coming from someone who can only give "he's shit" as his most sophisticated analysis
>>140247281Mou would be a total wasteWould only be here for the paycheck at best
>>140247631Can't even use the "he can't pass" because he created Acosta's goal
>>140247737Both had really bad positioning and communication today. I'm sorry, you just need to watch the game more carefully. They made mistakes. Get over it.
>>140247779I said they were fine
>>140248139You're fine with dogshit
>>140248252The whole pool is shit
>>140238051adams cant even fucking stay healthy.
>>140247563schizo
>>140258961>people itt want to bench Adams Idiotic
>>140241196Any team cam play bunkerball if they're coached well. If Greece could do it in 04 so can we. Gregg ball is good for beating small Caribbean nations but vs actual countries like Holland we just look like a sad joke. Parking the bus like Porto is truly our only hope if we ever want to fluke a trophy. Musah, Adams and Mckennie are perfect midfielders for pressing bunkerball. All we need is a coach who can organize our shit defenders and give them confidence, while eliminating their concentration lapses and that man is Mou.
>>140241656Young dumb guys can do it too if they have a coach who can organize them.
A little birdie told me dest tore his ACL and is out til 25. What do you think gregg is gonna do for copa? Plug in scally and pretend he's dest (most likely)? Shift weah to RB, pulisic to RW, wright to LW? I feel like he should be running wright-sargent-puli anyways but weah was locked in at RW
>>140265234God you're such a a fucking idiotNo we are not our fucking twinks aren't bunker balling to anythingThe Greek team was just fucking lucky and killer in set piecesBut that type of bunker ball isn't feasible in 2024Furthermore we don't have the intelligence in players nor the physicality, the organization, the experience to do something like thatIf bunkerball worked all the time everyone would do it every fucking timeYou're just a fucking retard moron and you should kill yourself before you log onto this site again you worthless piece of shit
>>140265264No they aren't you fucking waste of oxygen
if you see someone say “shuttler” or “brazilian 5” just ignore them. They have no clue what they’re talking about so they use technical jargon to fake expertise
>>140265271First of all, Sargent should not ever play or the NT againHe is worthless and hasn't scored in nearly 5 yearsSecondly, I guess it's Scally with Yedlin as a backupWeah cannot play right back for us he's not good enough defensively and I don't trust him with our weak and slow centerbacks
>>140247563Excellent point!
>>140265419Johnny is not a fucking 6
>>140265455Sargent is our most in form 9, on top of his holdup play and his elite defensive workrate for a 9. It's a no doubter he should be starting at least half the games (i would have him splitting with balo and subbing in pepi late, since im playing wright mostly on the left). I understand RWB at juve is different than RB in gregg's system but dest wasn't exactly good on defense to start with. And before you say mckennie played RWB as well, him in the midfield is way more of a lock than weah as a winger.
>>140265624Have you ever seen Sargent play as a 9 for the US?It's like he's playing in a different fucking gameHe's just pressing in a random and uncoordinated areaFurthermore if you have watched him at Norwich, none of his goals have come from positions he would play for the USRebounds, long runs, someone else holding up play for himHe's not getting that shit from PulisicWeah would get absolutely abused playing as a right back. Dest gets targeted when he plays but Dest at least has regular practice playing right back. Weah would do worse defensively and worse offensively. At least McKennie is stronger.
based haji right wing aryan
Remember when a bunch of mlsfags tried so hard to convince us that Wright was a meme just to make themselves feel better than Ferreira was so bad vs the Dutch?
>>140268577I do member that
>>140268577To be fair, Wright was absolutely garbage at that world cupEven the goal he scored was absolutely flukey
no fucking way we fucking lost dest for 2024?
>>140270162GoodDest is a toxic merc. Hopefully Reyna goes down next
>>140270162fucking hell he’s going to bring fucking yedlin in isn’t he
>>140270162>for 2024Just the Copa AmericaDo you think those friendlies will mean anything?>>140270732Yedlin hasn't been worse than Scally
>>140270732Worse, it'll be that bum Shitq Poore.
>>140271160Moore has been bad by MLS standardsIt won't be him
>>140270629He's easily our best winger, I hope he is healthy for the world cup.
>>140265306Set pieces can be taught and we can get lucky too. Cattenaccio bus parking is out only hope. We need Mou or an old Italian manager to show us the way.
>>140265271Weah or McKennie to RB. Start Johnny in Mckennie's midfield spot, he has experience playing vs South American scum.
>>140265306>If bunkerball worked all the time everyone would do it every fucking timeWrong. Fans complain and you get called anti-football enemies of the sport if you spam it too often. But it still works, especiallyif you have athletic players and a midfieldthat can press for 90 minutes like ours can.
Haji Wright has more goals than Gyökeres did this time last season. Will he get sold for a lot of money to a premier league team like wolves or west ham next season?
>>140271504No you fucking parasite to societyWe don't have smart savvy veterans who have been trained in that their entire careersMou isn't gonna do that in 3 fucking daysYou're just saying we should give up and play bunkerball as if 90% of teams don't try the same shitAnd guess what? It doesn't work 99% of the timeJamaica played bunkerball against us. Nearly worked. But they still lost.There's no reason to think that would work differentlyYou're such a a fucking moron. Just end your miserable fucking life.
>>140271605You're only thinking of times it workedBut it generally doesn't you dumb fucking cletus
>>140271658which Premier League team did Gyokeres get sold to?
Dest being out is probably worst case scenarioHard leaving out one side of the defenseMaybe we can just try having 3 centerbacks and just forget about fullbacks?
>>140274995He didn’t get sold to a prem team however he is going to Arsenal at 26 for 60+ million. He actually went down a league in my opinion because the Portuguese league is very shit compared to the English Championship
>Aussies
>>140280727Why is your screen green?
>dest dedIt's time.
>>140280809I had a filter Didn't realize it was onFucking thing wasn't turning my real screen green lmao
>>140277292>mckennie at rbmight work
>>140277292Gregg isn't going to stray from his stupid faggot system that doesnt even work
>>140287199I feel he's gonna have to make some change because Scally just isn't itNeeds a plan beyond Yedlin
>>140287456immediately after I replied I forgot to say, Gregg isn't going to stray from his system, enjoy watching Scally try to aimlessly advance the ball forward. It's what he did in the nations league when Dest was suspended. What about Weah at RB and Haji or Sargent as a winger. Could that work? I think Scally is more than capable defensively but he's an old school fullback, he offers little going forward
>>140277292>>140287199>>140287456>>140287562It's going to be Scally or Yedlin until Dest is back. It probably should be Weah though.
>>140287562>>140287621I don't want Weah. I don't know why you would want Weah. He's just a runner. Wouldn't do well with how Gregg wants his full acks to defend. There's a reason Gregg used McKennie instead of Weah against Jamaica.I don't think Gregg can afford another Scally performance and the fact Scally came off at halftime against Jamaica proves that
>RETVRN
>>140287771If he can even play
>>140287562>>140287621Weah's best attribute for the US is his off the ball movement in the final 3rdHe is absolutely shit in possession and crossingNot to mention his definite deficiency of defensive positioning and his untested 1v1 defendingWe do remember that he was probably more responsible for Jamaica's goal than Scally, right?This is a really fucking stupid idea
>>140288019Interesting. Do you use the word "shuttler"
>>140288019>Weah's best attribute for the US is his off the ball movement in the final 3rdno its not>He is absolutely shit in possession and crossinghe's good in transition which is what the US will need against stronger copa america teams>Not to mention his definite deficiency of defensive positioning and his untested 1v1 defendingThat's accurate>We do remember that he was probably more responsible for Jamaica's goal than Scally, right?I don't care
>>140288106Have you seen Weah play? Why the fuck would you think he would be good as a fullback for the NT?
>>140288117>no its notYes it is. It's what got him his goal against Wales and his near goal against Iran>he's good in transition which is what the US will need against stronger copa america teamsWhich is only gonna help in the front 3 not as a fullback
>>140288139>Which is only gonna help in the front 3 not as a fullbackI don't agree with this, Antonee and to a lesser extent Dest will bomb the field after the US wins possession in their defensive third.I remember Antonee had a couple assists against Panama in WCQ that came in transition , and I think Dest did as well against Jamaica back in WCQ.Obviously fullback is where the US are probably the thinnest, and I'm going off the assumption that Gregg will not change his playstyle. What is your idea?
>>140288199https://youtu.be/e3JZZxCJtek?t=209there is dest's assisthttps://youtu.be/AbxoditkWb8?t=134there is antonee's first assisthttps://youtu.be/AbxoditkWb8?t=501there is antonee's second assist
>>140288199Out of the big candidates to replace Dest (Scally, Yedlin, Reynolds, Weah) I think Weah is the worst at dribbling and crossingIn fact I'd say I would rather have DeJuan Jones or something than just placing Weah back there
>>140288305You're insane. Really, seek help.
>>140290836Name one good reason Weah should play fullback that isn't just 'He played there for Lille last year as an emergency"
>>140291702I don't know if he should be our fullback but to say he can't dribble, and that you'd rather have Jones or some other scrub instead is just crazy.
>>140292266>he can't dribbleHe's not comfortable with the ballEspecially with the way fullbacks are expected to>that you'd rather have Jones or some other scrub instead is just crazyI'd rather have a player who plays fullback than someone who doesn't
>Mourinho: “I am happy because I like the kid (Arteta). But the way the media spoke about a magic strategy.” "I won at Manchester City a few times. But it was not an amazing strategy. It was a defensive game. Park the bus. Park the double bus."Mou KNOWS. Hire Based Mou to show us the way to victory.
>>140293079weah has a lot of minutes as a wingback this year for juve
musah and puligod starting for Milan. Musah playing RW kekkers
>>140294809Those two aren't THE FUCKING SAME
>>140295005Whatever. Weah is more of a Brazilian 3 but I think Allegri views him as a Shuttler anyway
>>140295005they're VERY SIMILAR you autistic retard. Even more so with how often Gregg wants his fullbacks to join in the attack. You're either very autistic or very stupid
>>140295147Not defensivelyNot attacking wiseYou're just a fucking FIFA moron
>>140294809Also, no he hasn't
GGG’s system simply want his fullbacks to be both,1) 2-way players2) help in the buildupJedi has always been Usmnt’s single best player under ggg because his player profile fits both traits for a FB in this system. Also Jedi’s 2-way play is most balanced (50:50)Dest and Scally?? They’re both lopsided 2-way players. Dest plays like a winger (75:15), while Scally like a wide CB (15:75). Fucking ying and yang. they both can play their weaker side once in a while, hence their both 2-way players, and ggg sees that.Of the two guys, only Dest has the 2nd trait (and does is better than Jedi)Scally was mostly at fault for the Jamaica goal within 30 secs, and it mindbroke him WHILE he’s supposed to help in the buildup.I expect ggg will give scally another chance in the pre-copa friendlies. He will be focused and level-headed then. But if reaches 70 mins and he’s still a fuckup, then ggg will consider only McKennie or Weah…or ggg will just brute force Scally through copa.
>>140297134My bad, I mean (85:15) and (15:85)
Pray Mexico gets better quickly so Gregg [sic] gets fired
>>140297134Robinson is fucking terrible in the buildup. What you actually mean is that he's good with his overlapping runs and straight dribbling runs. Otherwise he's just a bad turnover machine who can't even make simple passes. He's like a budget Kyle Walker and it wouldnt surprise me if a better EPL team use him as a defensive 1v1 merchant.
>>140297249>Mexico gets better quicklyI tried to post a sea of "HAHAHA"s but 4chan says it's spam and won't allow it
>>140297249Why?Is a new manager gonna improve our center backs, fullbacks, right winger, striker, and goalkeeper?
Well turns out we need Araujo after allWho would have thunk that?
>>140298001The beaner Araujo? He's been doing fuck all at Las Palmas in 2024
Hire tuchel and have him play pulisic as a RB
>>140298720And?Our current options aren't better
>>140295283Lol so you're just admitting you haven't watched Juve at all this year. I think you just argue for the sake of arguing. Be more honest please
>>140288019>>140288123>>140288305>>140295005>>140295283>>140295297Do you use the word "shuttler"are you Indian?Do you post about "expected threat"?
>>140298893>>140295297A wingback/right mid in a 5/3 man backfield does not make Weah a capable fullbackPlus whatever you define Weah's role at Juve, he's not been good at it. Juve is trying to dump him.Stop suggesting Weah. You're only forcing it because he's playing at an European team regardless of fit for himThe leaf >>140297134 is rightNo one replicates what Gregg wants from the righback position. Scally is the closest so I'm guessing Gregg is gonna keep giving him shots and have Yedlin
>>140265271Gregg pulled Scally fast against Jamaica and moved Mckennie to right back.
Why does our /talents/ pipeline have so many left backs but zero right backs?
>>140300085Reynolds was supposed to be good, but Mourinho mindbroke him.
>>140300085Shit happens?
McKennie for Bolivia/PanamaRichards for Uruguay/Brazil
You cannot trust these algorithms. Musah set up Leao and Calabria with great chances to score. I cannot stand these websites
Scally had one bad half against Jamaica. He's still a good defender.
>>140300085What fucking left backs? They're all shit aside from Antonee and Dest
>>140308107He only had a half against JamaicaIt might be fine against Bolivia and PanamaI think for the bigger teams Gregg just plays Richards or Yedlin
>>140308107I don’t think anyone thinks he’s a bad defender (well I guess maybe some people do) it’s more so that Gregg won’t change his system in which the fullbacks get high and wide up the pitch and get involved in the buildup which is not Scally’s strength
>>140308290I don’t think Yedlin will be on the roster unless there’s more injuries to the fullbacks
>>140308972yedlin was on a roster as recently as Qatar and the gold cup, with dest hurt he’s probably the next man up. especially since gregg likes his leadership and experience. don’t be surprised
>>140309078Well the gold cup was the B team, I would be shocked desu. he hasn’t been on a single Gregg 2.0 lineup has he? I feel like for the nations league and friendlies the fullbacks have been Dest Robinson and Scally and Lund
why the fuck does 't-b-h' always get changed to 'desu'
>>140309372>the gold cup was the B teamexactly
>>140309539some gay oldfag thought it was funny desu
>>140309078When Scally got hurt for the fall 2023 friendlies, Gregg brought in Dejuan Jones
>>140312208>friendlies
>>140309078Of course he's gonna bring in YedlinYedlin in the only experienced fullback in the pool and there's a good chance we have to play Brazil
>>140308957No Scally has been a bad defender while in a US uniformHe's been pretty bad for Gladbach this season
>>140309372>Fullbacks have been Dest Robinson and Scally and LundAnd one of those guys will miss
I don’t really follow the national team that much, is there any chance they sack GGG if the team underperforms at the tournament?
>>140315211MaybeBut it's not worth rooting against the team
>>140315211I think the only situation gregg gets sacked is if we lose all three games.

>>140315859Cope, exposed
>>140315977Like it or not, Gregg does not actually control the fortunes of the teamThe pool isn't talented enough to win the world cup without major luckSee how much trouble Dest's injury has caused the team? No coach is gonna be able to fix that
I wonder if Gregg even bothers calling up ScallyJust taking Yedlin and let Richards be the backup right backWould save a roster spot
>>140315350>EdgarThis beaner gets it wrong more often he's not a tier 1 source
Weah had the series winning assist for JuventusHe should stay at right wing
>>140316046No one's talking about winning the WCWe're talking about an incompetent manager way in over his head who uses elementary MLS level tactics and routinely aligns players out of position.Not expecting much in Copa and WC. Beating up on the worst Mexico that's ever existed is great for morale and banter, but can you seriously see Greggball getting a result against Uruguay (kek) or even Bolivia? Panama knows all about Greggball so a tie/loss wouldn't be shocking
>>140320497>routinely aligns players out of positionWhat the hell do you mean by this?This is just incoherent rambling about made-up grievances you have
Berhalter is genuinely trash. Give a monkey the keys to a Lambo and it can beat a Honda Civic in a race, doesnt mean the monkey is Lewis Hamilton.
>>140323990Our pool isn't a lambo
>>140324208It is compared to the rest of concatrash.
>>140324346Not reallyYou do realize we don't have a top 20 talent pool, right?
>>140324702Do you use the word “shuttler” ?
>>140324877Why would I?
>>140324702Why would you bring up “a top 20 talent pool” (which is not accurate) when we’re talking about the US in relation to the rest of CONCACAF. Have you ever described someone as “a Brazilian 5”?
>>140324939We don't have the best player in CONCACAF, or the best striker in CONCACAF, or the best keeper in CONCACAF, or the best midfielder in CONCACAFWe don't have smart intelligent players. We don't have very creative players. All we have are a few decent players that give raise the average talent level about everyone in the region but to say that we're supposed to be dominating this region like you all expect is absolutely absurd.
Gregg OUTMourinho IN

>>140326660Sargent hasn't score in 11 caps and 4.5 years
>>140327974Ok autist, thanks for sharing
>>140328902If he can play that shit for us and still get call ups then Zendejas can get another chanceQuite frankly I don't know who the backup right winger is right now
current club form is far more important than what a player did in national team appearances multiple years ago.. what a retarded argument

Still think Vazquez is a better fit than Sargent
no one cares about vaskekz or these mlels ligmax shitters
>>140265455Weah at RB would be a serious defensive liability but still a better option than Scally who is a serious defensive liability with no attacking contributions
>>140347758I don't believe Weah does either
>>140347428No one should care about Championship shitters

>>140348216He assisted the tie-winning goal in the Coppa Italia semis yesterday. More than you’d ever get from Scally
>>140349347I meant from the full back positionWeah is a winger who's getting forced backBut his best attributes with his off the ball movement and his ability to stretch the back line will be useless in the back
>>140349269>paxten and taylor booth not making it but two mls shitters doI thought people were meming about Doyle.
>>140350372He says Booth is hurtAnd idk if taking Paxton away from preseason camp is the best thing eitherAlthough idk how after that last window you leave off Cowell and Yow
Who is the best Shuttler in our player pool
>>140353628Aiden Morris. Call him up to the senior team and start him. Global superstar that is hated by anti-mls chuds.
>>140349269Kind of hard to build a lineup from the squad he predicts. Zero right wingers. Luna and Gutierrez can play there but they're also the only AMs in the group. This is best I can do, and it leaves off the third-string at some positions because this site only lets you do two.
>>140356985The U23s don't use AMsIt would be more like this>>140349269Poor roster buildI don't know why one would
>>140357372>>140349269I don't know why one would use 2 overage players for 2 spotsI would use the spots for maximum coverageAnd using 2 guys who can only play 1 spot and using the other guy who can play 2 spots including that same spot seems problematicAlso no reason to bring 2 guys who can only play center forward
>>140349269Maloney seems like a waste of an overage spot. Get a forward.
>>140358601Our forwards already suck
>>140358601>Get a forwardWhy? What purpose does an overage forward serve? I'd rather give the minutes to someone we're trying to develop.
Lmao Japan has a half nig keeper
>Zimmershit in OlympicsPlease stop trying to meme that shitter into any and every national team competition other than camp cupcake.
>>140359280I know you have your vendetta against MLS and Doyle but the matter of fact is there no one really available to play centerbacks and that's by far the weakest spot on the Olympic teamThere are no guarantees that anyone else would be available
I don't get the point of bringing any overage players to a youth tournament. Who really cares who wins (it won't be us anyway)? It's about giving the kids playing time on a big stage against world-class opponents. Why waste that on guys that have reached their ceiling as bench players?
>>140359452Because I don't think the Olympics would accept it if the tournament was a pure U-23 tournament
>>140359452The Olympics are cool. Mbappe wants to go.
>>140360173I'm sure Pulisic would want to go tooHe won't

who is the most promising ameican talent atp?
>>140367852Best current player is Antonee RobinsonNear future, Paxten AaronsonFar future, Cavan Sullivan
>>140368061>Best current player is Antonee Robinson
>>140369236>ErediviseYeah Jozy Altidore was a goal machine in that leagueWouldn't trust any offensive numbers
>>140370302>hypes up an mlelsoy player and philly shitter who went to vitesse on loan after not cutting it in the blundershitga over one of the best prospects in the eredivisie who is having a ridiculously good season for the league champions>said philly shitter is only a year younger than the actually good prospect who is rivaling a european wonder kid xavi simons season.Yeah whatever doyle
>>140370768First of all, I'm not the other guySecondly, I don't care for either playerTillman is on an overpowered team and Paxten is on a sorry ass teamNot sure you can trust themI mean Pepi is averaging a goal every 56 minutes
>>140372009Dude Tillman has the 3rd most goals and assists in the PSV squad behind De Jong and Bakayoko. Top clubs in Europe like Man City want Bakayoko. Tillman is having a very very good season and will be wanted by top 5 league teams. Pepi is unironically the one who is statpadding while Tillman is more consistent.
>>140374742What do mean wanted by?Tillman is already owned by a top 5 league team
>>140372009Tillman is one of our best midfielders this season. Sometimes lazy and retarded but his talent is undeniable. Not quite on the same level as Simons but still good. He is going to play for a top Champions League team if we cannot keep him. Dest is very good going forward and has the level to play for an okay Champions League team. Pepi is a fucking meme and we need a replacement for LDJ. t. PSV Chad
>>140374869I'm saying that he's going to a good side in a top 5 league.
>>140375311How highly do you think of Dest? Some Dutchfags think he's shit and others also say what you said, good going forward but very shit defensively.
>>140375437I think he's a good and underrated fullback as long as you don't force him to defend. He's too small to handle the defensive duties but he is one of the best I've seen on the ball for a fullback. I understand why he didnt work out at Barcelona and Milan because those clubs want fullbacks who defend well. Bosz lets him do whatever he wants as long as he returns to help defend whenever he can.
I don’t know why Juve are lowballing Weston but I hope his next club is a good one
>>140325386>We don't have the best player in CONCACAFDavies? He's having a shit season at Bayern and hasn't been world class since 2020-2021.>or the best striker in CONCACAFLet me guess David? Gimenez? Neither of these two are levels above Balogun Sargent or Wright. David is good but he's not a world class striker and Gimenez is fucking overrated and scoring in the dutch league. If Sargent or Wright play in the EPL next season and score regularly they immediately close the gap.>or the best keeper in CONCACAFThere's currently no standout Concacaf keeper in Europe. The only one who is even close to a world class goalkeeper is Navas and he is old and benched for a couple seasons already. Ochoa is a meme. Canada doesnt have a good keeper. Rest of Concacaf keepers are nobodies from local leagues or MLS. I don't rate Turner either but he's just bang average compared to Concacaf keepers.>or the best midfielder in CONCACAFWho? Canada nor Mexico have elite midfielders. Mexico have Alvarez who is fine at West Ham but not world class. Canada have Eustaquio who is benched at Porto.We have the strongest player pool in terms of numbers. Canada have one super star and two or three good players, we have at least half a dozen. Mexico is so weak this cycle because their player pool has weakened drastically. The rest of the Concacaf teams are memes. Jamaica could probably do something in this region if they court some good English Jamaicans but that aint happening any time soon. Stop being hyperbolic, we are the best of this region because of our player depth and we should expect better.>no intelligent playersWhat does this even mean? You don't need a Kevin De Bruyne or Modric to pass circles around Honduras, you just need simple tactics to get our team to win comfortably. Stop overrating this shitty region.
>>140379433Andre Blake is the best keeper in CONCACAF, and he is a world-class player. He missed his chance to go play in Europe but he's good enough to.
>>140379433>None of these players are world classThey're still better than our shit
>>140383220kill yourself miserable friendless faggot
Can we get Wilfred Nancy to replace Gregggg?
>>140385472Just being realisticAlso>>140379433>Neither of these two are levels above Balogun Sargent or Wright.Fucking kekDavid has 17 goals in ligue unBalogun has 7And you're arguing as if playing in the Championship means a goddamn thingWe suckAnd it takes more than simple tactics to beat HondurasA team, which, Gregg is 3-0 against
>>140385731I wouldWouldn't satisfy this general
>>140388034So wanting players like Tillman is officially reddit huh

>>140389991>he plays in MLS he must be badYou're useless
>>140390229no world class player plays in mlels please stop shilling your league here
>>140385731>Wilfred NancyLast season it was Jim Curtis. Two seasons before, it was Caleb Porter. Can you all stop with the hyping of MLS "coaching"? You already have Gregg Berhalter who is according to Doyle a world class Guardiola.
>>140390285Who said anything about world class? We're talking Concacaf hereThe smartest kid on this short bus is Andre Blake
>>140390378Who the fuck was saying Caleb Porter?
>>140390378It won't be Mourinho
>look good in shit league>never go to a good league, never get exposedmore concatalents should try this strategy
You fellas ready for /talents/ bowl tomorrow?
>>140390831bro you retarded or something? You called him world class right here >>140382718
>>140393865That wasn't me and I didn't read upI apologizeBut Blake and Navas are still better than Turner right now
>>140390285>>140393865T.bh by "world-clsss" I just meant that he's on the level of euro leagues. He's a legit good player.
>>140393348Musah playing right back.
weekend games
>>140405188Scally shouldn't play a minute at Copa
>>140405188As long as Weah isn't back there
>>140405284Why the fuck are there girl games on here?
Nice goal from Sargent today if you like headers (which I do)
>>140409412
>>140409484Finally a center forward goal from himWould rather Gregg leave him off the roster
.......Wright......Sargent.....Pulisic..............Reyna.......Adams......McKennie.....Antonee...Richards...Trusty...Musah...........................Turner........................
>>140409861>Trusty
>>140409891It's the sad truth but Ream is cooked
>>140410004Then CCV or McKenzieWe don't need a shitty player just because he plays on a EPL team
>>140410085>CCVOnly looks good because he plays on a dominant team in a farmers' league>McKenzieTo be fair I've never watched him play so I don't have an opinion on him
>>140410955They're both better than Trusty
>>140405188Now McKennie is kek
>>140413046all 3 played RB kek
Venezia one point back from auto-promotion. Como drew today. 3 games left.
why are American talents like this
is the retard that said Weah can't play RB here today? Did he actually watch Juve vs Milan? Or is he watching "Real Salt Lake"
>>140413530Anyone can make a slide tackleI don't trust him consistently 1v1 with limited help
No normie even knows the Copa America is happening this summer.
>>140415554This is true
Gregg needs to loosen what he requires from his RB, and let Scally play there to his strengths.
>>140416743Gregg shouldn't change the system because some mid right back isn't good on the ball
>>140417428He’ll still be playing his 433 with Scally as RB. Just tell him to stay defensive. It will not “change the system” that much with this tweak.
>>140413408Is he good?
>>140409484Better than Ricuckdo Peepee.
>>140409031it's scuffed, theyre soiboys
>>140423021God I hate wimmenz soccer simps
>>140415108You know you can just say you haven’t watched Juve this year. My post wasn’t “Weah made a slide tackle, he’s a good defender” It’s that he neutralized Leao for the entire time he was on the field. Weah MVST play RB and one of the championship boys MVST play RW
>>140418764The harsh reality is the US cannot create from the right if Dest is out. Weah is a speed merchant. Let Haji Right Wing Aryan get a run as a winger, chuck Weah on defense. Problem solved
>>140431370Weah defended as a wingback not a fullbackAnd Weah is needed in the wing
>>140431411I don’t think you understand how little of a difference that makes. The US fullbacks are essentially wingbacks in possession, you do realize that right? They get forward constantly and often times Adams will drop back in possession.
>>140431648Modern fullbacks are expected to make overlapping runsThat's nothingThe difference is where wingbacks start defendingOur fullbacks are left in more vulnerable positions because we don't play 3 CBs in the back
>>140390831Why blake? Petrovic for the revs last season was one of the best keepers in mls and now he looks like an amateur at chelsea and chelsea fans want him out. Mls doesnt produce good keepers anymore
Why does Weah keep getting chances?
>>140436851it's because of his dad, Haji Wright is so much better than him
>>140413108need parma to lose 3 games in a row so both como and venezia can get promoted
>>140433182And? Just shows how shitty our goalkeeper situation is
Scally v. Brenden playing in the /unlovedtalents/ derby rn
Reyna lost his starting spot
Paxten just scored a CRUCIAL goal for his team. If this scoreline holds, Vitesse will get out of the negative points zone
>>140440767
>>140431407>The harsh reality is the US cannot create from the right if Dest is out.Yes. But that’s if the RB is expected to create.You want to create from the right? Gregg’s midfield he wants two 8s and a lone 6. Why not play Gio as the right-sided 8 and let him dribble and create from the right half-space. Gio played in the Mexico game dribbling across the field, it could work. Scally sits back in RB.>but mckennie plays the 8 on the right well for juve and has a good connection with weah>but I want gio higher up as my 10Gio’s dribbling and creativity is way closer to Dest than McKennie. And what he’ll bring to Weah in the final 3rd will be greater than what the Wes-Weah linkup brings on the right (imagine the passes Gio gives to Weah and Balogun).And Gregg doesn’t play a fixed 10 in his system, and wanting Gio to play as a 10 is a fantasy.
>>140422847not a good footballer in my opinion, just has a feel for being in dangerous situations at the right time then again that might make Americans think he's great, but it's almost a guarantee he'll be moving to a mid-table club in the top leagues this summer so you can see a proper broadcast of a match he's in, strong mentality player regardless
>>140415108>>140431370>>140431411>>140431648>>140431799You guys will play a back 4, not 3 ATB, so forget about seeing Weah as a wingback.Weah at RB would work, but if he’s expected to play like Dest in Gregg’s system (a RB playing as RWB) and pushes forward and even overlap, McKennie and the RW needs to occasionally cover for Weah. McKennie can cover, but then that leaves Gio and No.6 to cover so much in midfield. And who in RW can cover for Weah, the same way Weah does for Dest? Another thing to compare. Dest has a bit of defensive instinct, but mentally switches off when he’s needed to defend. Weah is the opposite, he has no defensive instinct, but is willing to defend if needed.Also for Weah, often he gets subbed off as a starter, and at times the guy looks exhausted (after he’s putting in work in the final 3rd). Imagine bombing up/down as a 2-way FB? He’ll be done in 60 mins (like Aaronson when he starts). Then you sub off Weah with who?
Anybody watch Ligue 1 and can tell me if Balogun is shit? Cause his stats this season are shit
>>140449435The leaf is somehow the most knowledgeable and the most levelheaded about our fullbacks situationWho would have guessed?
>>140449435This
>>140449866I caught some of his game todayHe is not interested in holdup play at allHe just wants to test that back lineFantastic in transition moments but when we're stuck in half court mode he's not very useful God I wished Gregg would just call up Vazquez
>>140271504You do realize national team tactics are intentionally vanilla because of how short the camps are right? You can’t teach anything really >Set pieces can be taughtNot enough time and fucking Pulisic still does our set pieces, he’s terrible from them
>>140441320He scored a brace and they won 3-2. He's up to 4 goals in 11 games for his soon to be relegated team. Hopefully he can earn playing time at Eintracht instead of getting loaned out to another shit team again next year.
>>140431407>Haji Right Wing Aryanheh
>anime avatarHe should have chose Mexico
>dest gets injured>musah, weah, mckennie play right back over the weekendscally shouldn't even be on the copa roster. Send him to the Olympics.
>>140464454Weah and McKennie played wing backNeither are good defensive optionsWhy would mess up balance elsewhere to not even really fix one problemAnd Gladbach won't release Scally for the Olympics

It's either Iraq, Indonesia, or Guinea that will play our Olympic squad
>>140467770Yeah man, clearly no one wants to live in California
>>140468943A billion live in IndiaDo you think that's a good place to live?
>>140470432Well I think it's pretty clear they'd rather live in Mumbai or Delhi than anywhere else in the country.There's fairly decent freedom of movement within the US and people actively and passively choose to live in California. I'm sorry that your flyover town is so boring and depressing that it's not worth living in.
>>140470690At least it's not in California
Is Cremaschi good enough for Europe? If so who should buy him?
>>140467135>Netherlands has two teams that are better than MLS teams.Not a single MLelSoy team would fight for the Dutch top 4-5 spots.
>>140471520I think he's being overly hyped. He's not obviously flawed but he hasn't wowed me.He's still only 19 though, so who knows.
>>140471553Where did Doyle touch you?
Don't know why either party would agree to this but whatever
>>140466289Pretty good signing considering the price and how brown San Diego CF will be

>>140472010I don't think Cremaschi even makes the Olympic team.
>>140480536He's eligible for 2028
>ynr
>>140474690Aviles and Redondo arent MLS development products, they barely moved to Miami. It's like a European player moving to Saudi Arabia for a year and then moving back to Europe and claiming that the Saudi league produced that player.

>>140482315Dire squad. Easy to forget how much things have improved in a few short years
>>140482315Remember Doyle defending this lineup trying desperately to act like this wasn't a massive downgrade
>>140495578Just a year ago they were trying to sneak him into their U-20 team
Gregg fucked up by playing Adams in Nations League. He's been out of the lineup for 5 straight games.
>>140504899He played a full 90 after the nations league though
>>140505000they had to assume he was healthy because gregg used him.
>>140508735He has a completely different injury with his back
Como wins. Venezia probably going to the promotional playoffs, which is a crap shoot. The dream is dead.
>>140504899>Player plays meaningless game"They wasted him, jagoff inadvertently injured him, now he can't play big match">Player sits meaningless game"What does he hate his country, we need to be ready for the big matches. He's needed for cohesion" Gregg may be a nepotistic idiot whose main qualification is knowing people since high school, but this one is just fans are never pleased with international breaks

>>140511591Literally don't care what happens to Busio. He's got no future for us.Tessmann could be good though, hopefully he finds a good fit.
>>140511591>>140511067Venezia got up to Serie A the first time through the playoffsIf Tessmann leaves Venezia he won't play in the olympics
>>140512865People act like no one gets released for the Olympics.
>>140504899Big mistake. But Gregg will make the same mistake and coordinate with Bournemouth to rush Adams for the summer.
>>140513256Because there's no guaranteeClubs aren't obligated to release players and clubs would rather have players in camp and available instead of playing a pointless youth tournament
>>140513256It’s true if you’re a Euro-based first team player. That’s always the rule of thumb.The olympic team will be MLS-heavy.
>>140513338It's MLS heavy because 80% of the u23 guys who aren't good enough for the A-team are in MLS. There hasn't been any difficutly releasing Euro guys.
>>140518971Because there hasn't been a conflict yetPukstas was a big part of the U-20 set up last cycle then didn't get to go to the world cup because his club blocked him
>loan gio out>win champions leaguejust
>>140518971>>140519054Speaking about the American players and US olympic team.If the parent Euro club sees value in their player to be apart of the 1st team plans for next season, they will want the player in preseason to begin new season sharp. Olympic soccer runs parallel to club preseason, so sending a player to olympics will disrupt his flow/form into new club season, and the player will now have less rest during the offseason (which will set him up for injury later) and that the parent club are paying their wages.If the player is sent to the olympics, majority of the time, the parent Euro club will either see you playing for their reserve/developmental sides, or sold/loan off to different club.So really, does Eintract Frankfurt sees Paxten valuable for them in the 1st team next season?Same can be asked for Paredes, Gaga, Tessmann, etc.I say it will be an MLS heavy roster because the players’ parent clubs are within MLS, and within the US. So there will be coordinated arrangements between MLS/USSF/US olympic committee to sent the MLS guys to Paris.Euro-based players (outside of PSV with Pepi) are outside of their control.LigaMX guys, not sure about them.
>>140520544The Doyle here >>140349269 is real funnyTrying to sneak McKenzie in thereHe's almost a sure lock for Copa AmericaBut even if he isn't he will be sold or will be soldNo way Genk lets him play
>>140521761Mckenzie isn't a lock. He only went to Nations League because CCV was injured. Trusty/Mckenzie/Zimmerman are at the same level.
>>140521948McKenzie is playing better than CCVIsn't West Ham interested in him?
>>140521948>Trusty/Mckenzie/Zimmerman>Zimmermanlol
>>140521761>>140521948>>140522100Mckenzie is important to Genk, they will not let him go to olympics.CCV > Mckenzie. CCV is a really solid defender but his injury problems makes it 50:50 between the two.Now its time to graduate Mckenzie. He must go to EFL championship. He’s one year younger than Haji, but look at what Haji did this season (1st year in England).
>>140521761This list>mckenzie>maloney>pepi>trusty (in the mix)LmaoOh, and Maloney is going to Copa. Him and Johnny as the 6. Adams has to stay home and rest.
>>140523445Feels like Pepi has been confirmed for the Olympics
>>140523508Yeah. Gregg and Earnie are definitely setting that up.

>>140535952France and USA get out of the group
>>140533584Adumbs has always been an overhyped shitter who runs around like a headless chicken. Even his own coach Iraola said he needs to calm down and perform better in possession of the ball. Cardoso otoh is just too good with the ball and is just as good as Adumbs at the defensive game.
>>140541952Forgot to add that Adumbs has literally had a negative career trajectory>move to RB Leipzig, do okay there nothing special aside from a goal vs Atletico and then Nagelsmann gets rid of him because he's so shit in possession>told to fuck off so goes to Leeds to play for Marsch. Does okay there, runs around like a headless chicken and Leeds get relegated. No other top club wants him even though he's an okay pressbabby who runs around a lot so goes to Bournemouth>injured (again) at Bournemouth for an entire season. His own coach doesn't even rate him that much, just says some lip service and outright says he has to get better at possessionAnd yet we pretend this dumb manlet shitter HAS to start for the national team. He HAS to be the poster boy captain because he talks like a white boy with discipline and he's BFF with McKennie so we HAVE to play Adumbs.
>>140541999>>140541952Team needs his leadership
>>140541952>>140541999This is why I fucking hate /talents/You're all just a bunch of dumb fucking zoomersFirst of all, Adams is the team captain. The players look up to him. I think from the March window it's pretty clear that the team plays better with himSecondly, not everything is about possession. We're not Man City. We're not gonna have the ball 80% of the time. Some might say this team is better without the ball than with it. And that's okay. Not every team needs to be Man City.Lastly, it's okay to have a bunch of good players. It's okay to have some come off the bench. Man City has Haaland and they have Alvarez. Do you think we should be like right back at every position where we have one guy and no one else? No team is gonna start the same 11 every game. Also no need to just shit on players. I don't know why this general is so obsessed with tossing away players once a new shiny one appears. Did you not learn with Balogun? Last year at this time he was the savior of the NT. Now he's just another scrub. What if Johnny doesn't work out? What if he gets hurt? What if he plays poorly? It's better to have more than one option.God I hate you fucks
>>140542787>w-we d-don't need possession!What the fuck do you think Berhalter does you inept retard? He tries to force possession onto the team and we look like shit with Adumbs. See what I fucking mean? You have no arguments for keeping Adumbs a starter other than muh leadership muh fuckin friendship>Balogun is a scrub nowJust because you screech about it in this general with your piss poor low iq ball knowledge and trolling doesn't mean anything. Last season at Reims he was one of the French league's top scorers. This season he is adjusting to a new team who doesnt play his style.
>>140542931>What the fuck do you think Berhalter does you inept retard? He tries to force possession onto the team and we look like shit with Adumbs.Do you actually know what you're talking about or are you just shouting buzzwords from Tactical Manager?
>>140542986>say something completely wrong>"actually you don't know what you're saying"Why are you so retarded? What does Berhalter try to do in every game? How do we play vs other Concacaf teams. This is simple.You are beyond fuckin clueless
>>140543040>What does Berhalter try to do in every game? How do we play vs other Concacaf teamsWe have possession because the other teams typically don't try to play with the ball?Why is that hard?Berhalter didn't play possession ball in the WCIt was a transition based approachCan't do that if the other team has 11 defending
>>140543133>It was a transition based approach>th-the other team just sits back!!Holy shit, you really are retarded and fucking clueless. We dont play transitions, we play slow shitty possession to the wide wingers and fullbacks who get crosses into the box. If we actually played transition football properly, we would be conceding more possession, defending more in a rigid formation and using Balogun to hit teams on the counter.Just fucking stop talking about football tactics you clearly dont know shit.
>>140543239Look at how Van Gaal set up the Netherlands vs us. They actually used transitions to destroy us and sat back. 41% possession. Depay and Gakpo expertly parking themselves in front of our defenders. We couldnt do shit with Berhalters gay worthless football possession. The one time we actually defended and sat back was vs England. Every other team, we tried to control possession.
>>140543239How do you play in transition when the other team is in their own fucking half?
>>140543296Yes we all know the Dutch sat off but they were able to do that because after 10 minutes they were already a goal upBerhalter doesn't set up in possession. He isn't trying to play like Guardiola. He wants games like the second half of the Wales game where we had like 20 chances in transition
>>140533584nah he's Musah's replacement. Johnny is more of an Argentinian 5 who can act as a midfield shuttler linking defense and attack.
>>140543406Stop talking out of your ass about muh transitions because you dont fucking understand what you're actually saying. Transitions happen all the fucking time in football, you dont say you play transition football just because you do it occasionally in one instance. Klopp teams are transition teams. Conte teams are transition teams. De Zerbi teams are transition teams. They are all fundamentally different playstyles but they generate transitions through pressing, counter attacking space or third man runs and they generate them at different areas of the pitch. Berhalter doesnt do that shit, he plays shitty trash positional football. He sets up two advanced fullbacks, a garbage 3 man midfield that cant outpossess or break down any other teams and three forwards who tuck into the box. He makes the defenders and midfield try to play out wide for the fullbacks to cross. The team doesnt press the entire game in fact our press is fucking shit.
>>140542787>First of all, Adams is the team captain.stopped reading there lollife isn't a disney movie. do you use the word shuttler?
>>140543527not De Zerbi, meant to say Poch. Idk why I confuse them.
>>140543527How the fuck do you play transition based soccer against a team that is defending 11 behind the ball like Jamaica was?
The energy changed when Adams came in in the Nations League. He has aura. Johnny doesn't.
>>140543514Should I just use FIFA ratings?OkayAdams is a 77 while Johnny is a 73Clearly we should start Adams instead
Adams has a fucked up back, a hamstring that blows out every 3 calendar months, and an instagram model wifeHe's going to be in the MLS collecting paychecks in <3 years
>>1405335840% chance Johnny is worth half of that. Just summer rumors starting up.
>>140548686Good to know your ball knowledge is in the gutter as always
Jonny has obviously passed up Adams, however Adams is Gregg’s boy so he’s not gonna drop him. It’s unfortunate but whatever
>>140548686He prob won’t get sold for $30m unless Betis are scamming a premier league team but there’s not a chance he goes for a penny less than $15m. I do agree that these are all just bs rumors at the moment, I think he stays at Betis for another season
>>140548686He is worth that amount given that his midfield partner Guido Rodriguez is 30 yo and worth 24 mil. Johnny has age and potential factored in his transfer worth so 30 mil for a young midfielder performing very very good at a high level is going to go for big money. On top of that, Cardoso's release clause is at 80 mil but Betis might want to cash in soon.
Adams is the captain. Johnny is going to have to be significantly better to pass him.
Mckennies facebook profile pic was changed to him in a Man United jersey for 20 minutes. I'm guessing he was hacked.
Weekend games
>>140555440>Wimmenz soccer>>140555391He won't last at Man U
Don't understand why Musah isn't replaceableHe has similar problems to Adams and isn't the captain
>>140556521Reyna in the midfield kind of did replace him already.
Adams being captain have no meaning to the Adams-Johnny debate.Put simply, Johnny has ball-playing/passing/possession traits. Adams barely has it (at best he’ll just pass to his No.8).But Adams is a better defense-first player, covers more of ground, dynamic, and is better presser.If I put either guy as my lone 6, its Adams. Let the other midfielders do the ball progression. He’ll just destroy.Either guy at the pivot-6? Adams wins. Let his 8 do the ball progression, and Adams will focus on defending and cover ground.
>>140557335Johnny is at his best in a pivot beside a stay-at-home 8 that stays in the pivot, helps Johnny with defending, and takes turns with Johnny with progressing the ball forward (with the 8 doing slightly more of that). Think of McKennie as his partner, and McKennie is restricted of his box to box movement. Basically a pivot with two dual 6/8s.Also Gregg’s system want a lone 6 in midfield whose sole purpose is to be defense-first and destroy. Johnny will struggle in this role. He’s expected to cover too much ground and press, and he simple can’t do both, at least not like Adams. Johnny is good with someone beside him, and is poor defensively alone.
Can't wait for Berhalteritos to beat Macacos
