    I don't understand the tactics. Starting 4 center backs on the back line. 2 defenders on the wings and 2 holding midfield players centrally. Zero balance on the field right now and the wrong group of players to hold possession in the attacking 3rd.

    We just aren't any good honestly. It's tough to watch. Just don't see the vision of Jurgen, I mean I know what it is he wants but just have no belief. :tebow:

    so we're acting like Fabian is a defender now?

    I think most here have agreed he should be in midfield but where do you think it's likely JK is playing him come 2018 (or even 2016 for Copa)?

    I think he would prefer MF if he can find decent fullbacks.

    I would say Fabian has played the majority of minutes with the USMNT on the back line. It also made my complaint look better.

    right but he's one of the best players in the squad going forward so it makes no sense to complain about him.

    Nobody seems fond of Yedlin. Not even announcers. Yeah he's fast and can occasionally make a run for a nice cross, but that's about it.

    he doesn't really have a position. I like him as a sub to run at tired legs but that's about it right now.

    And his defense is atrocious. He should be limited to first or second sub.

    hot take - Jones has been the best USMNT player in 2015.

    who, outside of howard, is even in contention for that? for field players, i dont think its even close.

    second half was fine. a point on the road is fine.

    should probably keep playing him at fullback.

    we wouldn't want to get those kind of performances on the USMNT, now would we?
