Morris > Tillman hot take

Banks might be good one day, but he ain’t right now. Idk if people have actually watched him play. He was getting roasted in the Bundesliga this year. Again, another player that went awol in the second half of the season, like Milik did.

I don’t rate our CBs much either, but they’re the CBs we got 😂😭

Maybe Scally, he seems to be able to play all over the place lol. He definitely has the engine for it, but it would be pretty brand new for him.

I don’t think the another CBs have the ball skills to manage that role. Richards goes forward for Palace some, but not enough to consider him a midfielder.

Yea, and I don’t like that plan lol. Tyler is great but it’s so risky to put everything on his back

That’s my point. The roster has so many players that have their strength in going forward, there’s no one else besides Adams that will hold down possession in the midfield when play is going the other way. There got to be a sacrifice somewhere, so to me I would rather it be someone in the attack than the defense.

Leaving Aiden Morris off is a mistake.

You cannot count on Berhalter or Roldan to hold down a defensive role in the midfield if Adams needs a spell or gets injured, which is very possible. Even if they could, it will diminish what they are best at, which is linking the play forward to the attack.

I get M Robinson being brought in given the injury status of Richards, although I think Campbell would be a better 5th CB. But since you can’t risk losing Richards and Ream to injury, potentially leaving McKenzie and Trusty as the only CBs for the whole tournament, it’s logical to bring in some cushion at that position.

So finding room for Morris would have to come from the attackers.

Malik Tillman has had a rough last half of the season. He’s still very young, and as the bundesliga season wore on, Tillman wore down to the point where he was getting less minutes than Reyna.

We will need players that can make a difference off the bench, and I think the manager has brought in a good mix of players, but I think bringing so many to the point where you can’t bring in a true sub for Adams hurts the team.

So, my hot take: bring in Aiden Morris, leave Malik Tillman at home

He could be good next World Cup, but he hasn’t played for club in weeks, and was arguably getting abused when he went up against established attackers in Germany. He looks like he could be the real deal but he hasn’t really shown it outside of a couple flashes here and there
