Whether it's Ream or Brooks at LCB, their lack of pace for recovery runs defending counters scares me. Then when Dest is the left full back, he tends to get too high too often transitioning to attack and I'm more nervous.

McKennie is a nice player, and is strong in the air, but he still doesn't have enough offensive creativity
Aaronson has been a little to slow to make decisions with the ball, imo
We aren't finding Reyna in dangerous spots enough
Yedlin and Dest have both been mediocre at best so far

ES loves just pushing guys in the back. Been doing it all night.

I like the idea from Sargent, take it down with the chest and volley on the turn.

Overall, 1st WCQ game for 9 of the starters, and first on the road in concacaf.

Really looking forward to seeing what they can bring coming out of the lockerroom. Id like to see us pressing hard the first 5-10 minutes, getting the ball wide and high on the attack and punch one in.

Well, the Octagon is still in an 8 way tie

Costa Rico Panama in 90'
Mexico Jamaica almost to half

Both 0-0

Need to stay wider on the wings. Need more overlapping play from dest and yedlin. Sargent needs to stop playing so deep. Open it up. They're settled in now. We aren't doing a great job keeping our shape anyway so create space, get wide, be aggressive, let's go!

Sometime I will hop the USSoccer reddit, just to see if they found any interesting articles or tweets or video footage.
That game thread is...god awful

That or when Sargent drops deep and pulls the defender, Reyna/Konrad/Aaronson need to be making runs into that gap.

I'd like to see Sargent with more lateral movement pulling the defense, and then those same players moving into those gaps.

Right now the midfield isnt getting it done consistently enough, but I really think some of that is the tactics we are employing.
