This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Gregggg abandoned his system by Irishlawyer

They basically played the Bob Bradley counter-attack system with direct play. No building out of the back. No Ream shifting over to be a third central defender. When Greggg's back was to the wall, he went back to "what works". That's part of what allowed Zardes to have what I have to admit was a decent game. That's why the midfield was not overpowered.

Now, the big question, when we play Cuba, will Berhalter re-install his stupid system so that when he beats up on little old Cuba, he'll say "see, the system works" or is this stupid impossible experiment in building from the back Man U style over?
