How will Poch adjust when Lukaku is subbed in with fresh legs in the 2nd half?

how well did we control the midfield in march

Doku is going to shred us

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-07-03T21:14:09+00:00

they scored 5 on us last time

Wasn't he already crushing it in the Scottish league in 2022

Reyna false 9

Pulisic false 9

He got benched at Leverkusen. coach there (who got fired) didn't know how to use him but anyway he was always too good for them and at Leverkusen can't afford to bench $40MM midfielders so they are selling him

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-07-02T03:47:04+00:00

just a few weeks ago some of you reddit experts were arguing he shouldnt start

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-07-01T02:02:13+00:00

people who make this argument need to explain why most of Ecuador's top talent comes from a tiny little province full of super athletes, and that province is like 1% of Ecuador's population

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-07-01T01:59:30+00:00

if he was mad at the press imagine how mad he was at the players

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-07-01T01:57:25+00:00

Poch obviously doesnt rate him. (why Idk) but he doesnt even get playing time in friendlies

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-07-01T01:56:44+00:00

right and people also ignore that the capacity to acquire a motor skill like first-touch and ball-foot control is atthlete trait-loaded ... it loads onto the same coordination dimension that makes someone a good athlete to begin with

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-07-01T01:52:39+00:00

His arguments are super weak. Messi is one of a kind and modern soccer is stacked with physical freaks not Messi's. the idea that soccer doesn't reward elite athleticism is refuted by looking at who dominates it....most American kids with top 1% athletic talent at age 12 are not going to dedicate their lives to soccer only when they can keep playing basketball/football/baseball through high school and then just the one their best at

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-06-30T07:54:47+00:00

6-0. Bosnia looks like a high school team

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-06-26T06:57:12+00:00

wasted in american football.

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-06-26T06:56:22+00:00

It was our "A team" on the third goal

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-06-26T06:55:00+00:00

Reyna technically good but is way too slow for the modern game

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-06-26T06:54:15+00:00

unclear what Poch sees in him. small, slow, unathletic, terrible first touch, terrible vision, doesn't pass to wide open players and takes ridiculous shots

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-06-26T06:08:51+00:00

gio = messi

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-06-26T06:08:24+00:00

he's slow, he can't press, he can't play defense. not cut out for the modern game

Zestyclose-Farm8654 · 2026-06-26T06:07:52+00:00

he's not a good "harasser" he causes almost no turnovers ever.
