Roster for the friendly Wednesday

 

amon and boyd

 

Good to see Yueill is on the radar, though bummed he didn't make the provisional roster. He'd do well in the Trapp/Bradley role.

 

Damn haven’t heard Joe Gyaus name in a while

 

oof

 

Wat

 

Ethan Horvath recorded a clean sheet in 39% of the matches he played. No one in the Belgian league deed beter.

 

I think it means we should drink

 

She already broke my heart. I hope all her jerseys get stolen except her Bradley bomb pop

 

Heard that

 

The flip side of the coin is that Klinsmann was the only USMNT Manager who ever gave Beckerman a serious look. Gotta give him credit for that. And Kyle was a bit long in the tooth at the time.

 

So are we gonna get a fun lineup or are we getting the old standbys tonight

 

What I want:

Sargent
Amon (Mihailovic/holmes) Boyd
McKennie Trapp(I guess?)
Robinson CCV Miazga Lima

What we will get:
Jozy
Zardes McKennie Arriola
Bradley Trapp
Ream Long Omar Lima

 

To be clear, there's a lot of guys that I rate that I will be disappointed in thinking they will start, (Arriola, Jozy, Long, Lima) I've just been a little bummed about our sort of lack of taking advantage of the opportunity to bleed new players in friendlies so far. (And for the better part of the last 18 months, really)

 

Might as well start Sargent to have him ready for the inevitable Jozy hamstring injury.

 

Side note but I really hope Pomykal gets invited to the next camp he's available for. He was dominating MLS before the U20 world cup and has looked equally good in his 3 games there as well. We still don't have a solution to our "If not Pulisic then who" problem at the 2nd, more forward #8 role and he could be our answer there. Doesn't have the usual issue of young players being poor defensively, either.

 

Excited to see Yueill tonight

 

Yueill and Mihailovic are probably MF starters for Olympic qualifying (since doubtful Euro based players will be available), glad to see them start.

But also starting Trapp and Roldan? Not sure who’s the RB either.

 

Omar Gonzalez needs to just die.

 

Guessing that’s going to be a 5-4-1 with Arriola and Robinson as the wingbacks and Mihailovic as the 10.

 

You would think he would keep his same system. I wouldn’t be surprised if Roldan @ RB/8 and Robinson at LW.

 

Where does this guy play?

 

San Jose

 

They gotta do something about the numbers on these jerseys. Can’t tell who anyone is.

 

For the greatest MLS franchise ever

 

What in the world is Steffen doing?

 

Not a fan of the red for the men.

 

This game is much sloppier than I would like. Wtf was Steffen doing in the box? I’d bench him for that shit.

 

It may be a friendly, but the ref might want to consider showing some yellows.

 

Incredibly milquetoast lineup tbh.

Jamaica is just sitting back in passing lanes and waiting for us to hand them the ball back because no one in this lineup can do anything with the ball at their feet

 

This game sucks. We are not going to do well in the gold cup.

 

Yikes all around

 

Will Gregg ever give up on Trapp?

 

We really suck. Every other first touch the ball bounces up off their foot.

 

Trap is so laughably bad when the competition is even remotely capable and athletic.

 

Is Trapp the most blah player ever? He never really screws up in a substantial way but he’s also perfectly average in almost all categories

 

Boo this team. These guys are garbage.

 

nice hit. it was only a matter of time before a careless giveaway cost them.

 

Yikes

 

Just terrible

 

He stopped moving towards the guy as he wound up to shoot. Like fuck man make some effort there.
