Antonee Robinson was terrible yesterday, bad touches from him probably stopped half a dozen promising US counterattacks.
|
# ¿ Nov 30, 2022 12:07 |
|
Nystral posted:I'm trying to learn more about the game, is there anything I can watch that will better explain how Robinson's actions impeded the attacks? He was receiving the ball, and then going to dribble and his first or second touch while dribbling was far too strong, letting a defender close the space and take the ball away from him. A better touch and he would have been able to pass the ball off to another US player or just retain possession himself.

G-Hawk posted:The core of the team is good but you're not getting far without a functional striker and playing a cb combo of walker zimmerman and tim ream (who had a good tournament but..) Ream is dead now, so that solves itself, but Zimmerman is bad, really bad. Lack of a real striker has been the issue forever. I didn't expect anything more than getting out of the group so it's good experience for a mostly young team.

Crazy Ted posted:Okay so I've said this in other places, but for all his issues I would like someone to tell me what manager the USSF could have realistically hired in 2018 that would been able to take a US squad that was the second-youngest at the World Cup (Ghana 1st - exited at Group Stage), didn't even qualify for 2018, wasn't ranked in the top 10-12, didn't have any world-class forwards in the player pool, and breeze it into the quarterfinals or the semis because if you'll believe USMNT social media the Dutch team was just 26 overgrown handicapped children ripe for the taking. Gregg did his job, he qualified for the World Cup and got out of the group stage. Thanks for all the memories. He's tactically inept and woefully out of his depth outside of CONCACAF. Gareth Southgate shooting himself in the foot aside I don't think he managed a single good game. Half the squad is playing regularly in the top four leagues in Europe and the step down in coaching and game management needs to change with that. The US mentality of trotting out these has-been players who were adequate coaches in MLS needs to go away. US Soccer is setup to fail if it continues to rely on itself to develop players and managers. Fortunately the players have noticed this and are fleeing to Europe at the first opportunity, be it at 15 or as soon as they're old enough to leave MLS. The US will never develop a world class striker domestically, the coaching and the level of play is too low, and I'm hopeful the likes of Jordan Morris coming out of NCAA soccer and playing for the US are over. It's so obvious to see how technically and tactically stunted players like Morris are. NCAA soccer is by far the worst thing for the development of American players. It's 40 years behind the rest of the world.
