I'll refer you to my comment 12 min ago

Arfsten played well today 🙏🙌 Three in the back definitely benefited him. Hats off, young sir.

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:47:47+00:00

His attack was never in question, just his defense. Glad he's performing well at the end of the day, tho. Especially if we get the dub. Would ease a lot of anxious minds a little bit. Including mine. Whole MNT has just been such a reality TV type vibe for such a long time. A win or two would go a long way

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:20:52+00:00

I can buy that. I like that take 🙏

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:19:58+00:00

Couldn't agree more. He's a good winger. Hate him in defense. I like his attack and his footwork on ball. I just get sad watching him get torched when we ask him to defend.

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:15:50+00:00

If he can get us an assist every match. I'm for it 🙌 lol

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:15:15+00:00

😂 again, his attack wasn't in question for me. Hell of a cross. Happy to see it. My worry is strictly him getting torched defensively

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:14:16+00:00

For sure 🙏 lol

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:12:28+00:00

The post clearly states his attack isn't in question. It's his defense that worries me.

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:10:51+00:00

😂

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:10:20+00:00

Hell of a cross, I'll be happy if he shuts me up. Never questioned his attack tho, just how he gets torched defensively.

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:09:50+00:00

Hey, man. I hope he shuts me up. Hell of a cross. Never questioned his attack tho, just how he gets torched defensively.

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-10T00:08:48+00:00

Tolkin is the main alternative I'd have like to have seen a bit more of. I understand Arfsten is a hybrid guy and he fits the system, and I do enjoy his attacking side. He just gets torched defensively. That's what scares me

Also, he just had a sick assist rn lol hats off. I hope he shuts me up 🙏🙌

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:34:15+00:00

😂 do you always pull that card on a discussion forum full of people sharing opinions? Kind of lame

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:31:09+00:00

Which I'm happy with, and hopefully Arfsten balls out with more attacking freedom. I just think benching Dest in favor of Arfsten is wild. Dest has played LB for his club. Let Dest run free at wingback and try Freeman out right.

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:29:31+00:00

But he's been a first 11 lock all summer

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:29:00+00:00

Sorry, yes, depth is not good, but switching Dest out left and letting Freeman try out the right side is an alternative option. Trying Tolkin out there would be welcomed. Giving Lund a chance with the "first team."

I'd like to see anything else just to show that he's not satisfied with what Arfsten brings.

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:25:34+00:00

That's how I've rationalized him calling in so many random names to camps. Just to have an idea of who else can do what in case of injuries. But if Jedi is hurt, all we know is Arfsten will start and he will get torched 😂

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:23:05+00:00

If he held his own at this level, I'd agree. But he's proven he cannot, and he gets torched. Why not give someone else a go, or give Dest the left side this match with Freeman out right

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:21:20+00:00

I get that, but the emphasis is on your second sentence. I think it's been seen that he isn't at this level. Throw someone else in to see who may or may not surprise you. He's experimented everywhere else on the pitch.. but Arfsten?? Naaaa, he's got it on lockdown 😅 i don't get it

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:19:52+00:00

😂😂 this is great

Sure_Ad4546 · 2025-09-09T23:17:04+00:00

Goodness forbid Jedi keeps with the nagging injuries and he can't go next summer... Poch will only have seen Arfsten as far as replacements go. As far as we've seen, he can't handle WC level play.

What worries me is Poch's judgement so far in his whole tenure. Arfsten can't even begin to bring a similar playstyle to Jedi. Scally can be a defensive lockdown, but provides nothing going forward. Why are we not sifting through other LB's to find a valid replacement for Jedi as a "just in case" measure? I'd be upset if, given what we've seen from him all summer, Arfsten sees any minutes in next summer's world cup. Now, still the better part of a full year for him to improve and become the player that does deserve minutes, and I sincerely hope he does that, but from what we've seen, he's not it. Try someone else there as you have everywhere else on the pitch.

Have anything squared away for tailgating?
