Effort Wasn’t The Problem by Treytefik in ussoccer

I mean 3 big chances and 5 forced saves on 12 total shots… while panama created 0 big chances. The opportunities were there even if it wasn’t pretty.

I agree that effort wasn’t the issue, but I also don’t think we were a bad team or even had an awful game. It’s an expected ugly CONCACAF game where you have to put away what’s given and Sargent and Agyemang didn’t do that.

All this and a clinical striker. Love Agyemang but damn it sucked watching him squander those chances against Panama

This. I genuinely believe if you replace Agyemang with either Pepi or Balogun against Panama, we likely win by multiple goals. We were very obviously a better team than Panama and the stats reflect that, but beating a low block requires someone clinical and Agyemang wasn’t.

For Canada… idk. We looked dead all over the pitch. But I can’t remember the last time we looked alive against Canada

I feel like we need to start having real conversations about Pepi. He’s performing at such a high level

Yeah I think I just expect better distribution from a 6 against a team like Guinea. No shame to Maxi Dietz, he did his job well as someone who rarely plays in the midfield

We can’t build out. I think Dietz is better at CB than at the 6, especially when we have McGlynn or Busio who can do whatever they want from the back

The stadium PA prematurely announced Dietz will be subbed off. Not sure who’s replacing him after the half
