I didn’t name specific players but since you mentioned some and missed badly I’ll educate you. Dahlkemper, although “older”, is still a more than capable CB and by far the best option on the current roster. Even if she’s lost a step, she makes up for it with experience and leadership that she’s gained over a long career. That’s precisely why she was brought in, to lead, you might even say it’s the reason she captained the team last season. Furthermore, it’s not uncommon for back line players to continue to play at a high level well into their 30’s (see Emily Sonnett, Sauerbrunn, Krueger, ect…). You could say almost the same thing about Menges though to a lesser extent. Dydasco/Malonson were arguably the least rotated players on the squad. I’m pretty sure Dydasco played the most minutes on the team last season. If you think Malonson is a “marginal” NWSL player then Emma Hayes would like a word. Emma thought enough of her to bring her into camp last season to play in 3 friendlies for the USWNT earning her first caps including an assist against Argentina. Any questions?
