I feel like we are trying to build the ball up from the back and connect passes, but it seems like we are lacking movement off the ball after the first connection. A lot of times its going in to someone and he has nowhere to go with it.

This team doesn't deserve to make the World Cup the way they've been playing. Not sure when they're going to wake up...maybe on the plane flight to Australia.
It seemed like after the away game at Mexico they had found themselves. Past few games are concerning for sure...

Very lackadaisical effort in the first half no fire.

All the streams I was watching stopped working right before they scored.

Once again no effort, no desire. Just going through the motions

I agree. I was expecting that team to show up these past 2 games and they haven't.

We're defending so much today that we don't have numbers in attack. Unfortunately I'm not sure we have he guys in the back that will give our mids confidence to go up.

Nagbe has been really unaffective and we flat out need more from him.

Well, at least Ali Kreiger looks good on the halftime show?

Zusi may have looked ok on TV but in person he has awful. He was out of position constantly.

Zusi, Cameron, and Omar are all awful. What the hell do we do?
PatAg

Interested to see if we make any changes at the half or if he gives it 10-15 minutes.

Yea I dont think he was good per se, but he was kinda left on an island by Pulisic a lot, I felt.

I would prefer we had a different option to play over him.

1st half positives...uhh Pulisic made a couple excellent runs...the half is over?

Why isn't Fabian Johnson playing?

My prediction is Wondo comes on to score a goal and blow our minds!!!

Pulisic has less support than Donovan and they are/were both expected to carry the US through qualifying. Nothing happens unless Christian is on the ball which is a huge issue

It's more than FJo. I think Arena set this up like he did the last set of Matchdays. He's running basically split squads.

Maybe some but he constantly drifted central. If your outside back drifts in to covet a striker your outside mid can nevet atrack.

Offside. Dribble dribble dribble dribble shoot anyway. Nice to see we continue to pick and choose what Laws we get to flaunt without repercussions. .

I don't think Dempsey fits well into our lineup/style of play as a starter. He hasn't linked well with Pulisic, or much of anyone. Part of what makes him dangerous is his drifting in and out of the play, but its also dangerous to our team as well.

Man that should be a yellow for playing on way after the whistle.

I remember when RvP got sent off at Barca for it.
PatAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
True, and then you question, if your outside back can't understand that, then maybe he shouldnt be getting minutes there
PatAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Nagbe deliberately cut down with no foul...just extremely poor ref..broken record
Gordo14

**** this. I can't get anything to work.

Today, Dempsey with no real understanding with Morris or Pulisic so far from what I can see. I would imagine he is coming off soon. I would consider subbing in an outside mid and bumping pulisic up into a withdrawn forward centrally.
Mathguy64
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I had to back that up to make sure and sure enough Bradley got the ref and I think it was on purpose.

Is the whole strategy just to bomb balls forward?
PatAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
wow, another apparent dangerous lunge tackle in the attacking third with a no call
sure looked reckless at the very least

That appears to be Omar's strategy, but it most definitely isn't Arena's

its not bad to try it once in a while to keep their defense and honest and test the backline with Morris on them.

There were 3 straight reckless challenges with nothing. He called something that I didn't even think was a foul.

Omar botches another clearance, get him out of the game right?
