And these kids played better under Sarachan against superior sides. Sad statement.

And fuck Taylor Twellman for not calling out Berhalter directly last night. He has no problem shitting on the players, but wouldn’t name and take on Gregg directly. Fuck that. Why was Sargent so deep on set pieces defensively? Why was Pulisic on a goddam island every time they tried to counter? Why was Zardes out there when it was clear the US had to play THROUGH Canada’s defense? He literally just ran around the entire time he was out there. What did he get, 2-3 touches?

I’m willing to give every one of the young guys a pass. You have a system? Great. Have a system. You still need to tweak it to the personnel you have available. We were perfectly set up, personnel-wise, to counter attack and rely on set pieces last night. Why weren’t we compact, especially with Davies and David on the field? Who would have complained about that approach, particularly since it was obvious this game was WAY more important to Canada?
