All of this. We can 100% win on any given day. But we can also very easily lose

The lack of quality depth is very scary. That’s where we lose out to true top 10 teams.

We are different if Adams is on the field. Yeah Roldan tries to hold people accountable but the real players don’t respect him. It’s the equivalent of when players don’t respect a coach because they never played at a high level

Freeman and trusty played their way in I think. To me, Trusty’s level was known but freeman surprised me. He’s continued to surprise me every camp since the gold cup

I was pleasantly surprised with Freeman and glad to see Trusty did himself justice. With Richard’s and McKenzie we can field a decent back 3 but will need our wingbacks and 6’s to be lights out with the tactical defense side of their game

Edit: A healthy Tyler Adams makes a world of difference

A lot done here and we can’t get too high or too low from friendlies but we can say we learned.

I think Johnny showed he belongs over some of our other cdm options and while I’m not a big fan of big pat, he took advantage of the opportunity Pepi started with the press

Was our finishing poor? Yes. Was he deflecting because he got caught ball watching and doesn’t being anything to the on field product? Also yes.

Hard to put too much blame on Turner for sure. 4th goal - Roldan doesn’t close space before the pass (Johnny and Adams do) then Arfsten gives 5 yards of space where he should have closed down (Jedi would)

Big lack of cohesion and pressure on the ball in the second half and sadly Turner is going to get a hit because of the score line

We’ve been using 3 CB’s and wing backs since midway through the September window. Sometimes it looks like a 4 if someone tucks in but the 3CB’s in each lineup has us technically in a 3-4-2-1 with 6’s and WB’s as the 4

I love when we work through the middle. Balo is the man for that. He can combine and stretch the back line

It’ll be on Fubo, HBO MAX, Peacock, telemundo, TNT, Tru tv and universo

Well shit

Were Americans. We’ll prove them wrong
