@RobUsry Or just CM, we need all the firepower we can get on the pitch at once.

Hear me out. Weston McKennie: False 9

@BreidenFehoko Any thoughts on Reese? Seems like he has a ceiling as an edge but worst case, still a very good OLB?

"These three prospects cannot Bust. I will stamp that and put my word on that."

@KFCBarstool Cities should fix themselves instead of crying about the messengers

“A) they’re right…” welp then that’s it! Can’t be upset about truthful commentary on your city just bc it hurts your feelings! Also talking NYC politics & homelessness vs STL social life are very different, BUT even if it wasn’t - ppl say that stuff about NYC all the time.

@BearsPurgatory @chrisalta Yeah I get that…just feel like he can still get in the box as an CM with Adams holding back and he’ll still be a focal point on sets etc…Interesting dilemma

@MHDU24 @chrisalta Well I think Weston is in the best form. So moving him back will affect his attacking opportunities.

This is the best lineup. If we don’t play a 3 back system we very well may get grouped. The best option for the #USMNT🇺🇸 is to play a 3-4-2-1✍️. Pochettino needs to stop tinkering and goofing around and stick to this. I’ve done the work for you, Poch👨‍💻. Use this lineup and we will make some noise. We should compete in this #WorldCup🏆. Anything less is a failure and unforgivable. Side note, I prefer this lineup orientation even though it’s opposite what lineup builder wants. Get over it🤫.

@BearsPurgatory @chrisalta I agree which is why I want an extra attacker out there lol…Weah or Tillman at RAM and McKennie instead of Johnny should help more than hurt in the scoring department, no?

@MHDU24 @chrisalta I get what you’re saying. I can see it. I just think we might be lowering our scoring prowess on a team we can’t afford too. We have been so hapless in the final third.

@BearsPurgatory @chrisalta He’s been playing everywhere for Juve and I feel like a lot of his goals are from scraps or set pieces so him starting as the attacking CM wouldn’t hurt much. Just prefer having Weah on the pitch instead of 2 DCMs and that’s really the only way

@MHDU24 @chrisalta I just think Wes has been thriving so much in attacking roles at Juve that we would be crazy to not put him in one too.

@BearsPurgatory @chrisalta Weah in at RAM, McKennie in for Johnny, possibly Freeman in for McKenzie even though he’s not a CB. But I like the lineup overall and wouldn’t have issues with it

@chrisalta I think you’re underestimating Tyler. He is everywhere. He can push forward and support an attack but will also get back and help and organize defensively. I don’t feel great about Johnny but I think he’s the best option we have right now

@cheefrocka37 @TheJetPress Character*

@cheefrocka37 @TheJetPress Fair enough, guess it could be him then…Taking a QB at 2 with QB concerns is really dumb though and they got what they deserved

People saying Becton but Saleh didn’t draft Becton, he inherited him from Gase. Feels like this is an Elijah Moore reference if anything.

@cheefrocka37 @TheJetPress I agree I’m just saying I don’t remember that being an issue for Zach pre-draft, who knows maybe it was

@MHDU24 @TheJetPress I don't think character issues always = troublemaker. I think lack of leadership, arrogance, uncoachability, and mental weakness could fit under character issues.

@cheefrocka37 @TheJetPress Not arguing that, the whole conversation was about players in the draft with character issues

@MHDU24 @TheJetPress I'm thinking Saleh wasn't fired because of Elijah Moore. He was fired because he replaced Sam Darnold with super-soft ZW, which led to the failed Rodgers experiment. ZW was replaced in-season with numerous backups. Saleh thought they were drafting a stud, but got a puss.

@cheefrocka37 @TheJetPress Did Zach have character issues pre-draft? I know Elijah Moore had a couple of things going on pre-draft so it almost has to be him

@TheJetPress I thought Zach, too. Zach was weak. He doesn't have the mindset to play the position or be a team leader.

@gregchipleyesq @Union_Levi @usmnt_historian Probably the top 3 for me

@Union_Levi @usmnt_historian John Brooke’s goal and the Algeria goal are up there for me

Four hours until kickoff. Here is the Jermaine Jones stunner against 🇵🇹 in 2014.

@Joelazo_10 @11Yanks He looks like he belongs which you can’t say for most of our CBs, I wouldn’t mind this defense….Put in Dest at RWB and Weah at RAM if he’s available

@11Yanks Trusty played very well, but his two mental lapses led to a goal and the best save of the night from Freese. So overall, average? Can’t lose your guy. Richards solid. But Freeman was fantastic. Not sure why you’re disregarding him.

I will say this. At least Freese, Richards & Trusty looked reasonably solid today. That's several problems solved right there.

@WillyLumpLump22 @11Yanks Some truth, but the full and correct A team can compete

@11Yanks We just don't have the players. We need to accept this. They're not anywhere near as talented as most teams.

Poch is drunk

@BackAftaThis Who cares, guy is dead man walking regardless

What an absurd statement. How about this... say nothing.

@StrongIslandJay @RichCimini Might*

@StrongIslandJay @RichCimini Because he’s on the hot seat regardless….night as well have some fun when you need a miracle to even keep your job another year

Glenn on Geno Smith: "He's the guy that's going to lead us to the promised land." #Jets

@karrius1994 @usmntonly I don’t think about better than anyone, he’d be on the same group as our top players though. He just had the hype of Mbappe and isn’t even a definite starter for Portugal. Very good player regardless though obviously

@MHDU24 @usmntonly He’s still better than any player we’ve produced. Like we can’t be making comments. Talking about a team we’re not even close to the same level as lol
