I thought the same thing last night, he really is just a German Pardew. I've been giving him the benefit of the doubt for a while, but that changed last summer and he's done nothing to covince me otherwise. I know we have injuries and some talent with the U23 team, but that lineup last night was awful. How does Diskerud even merit a place in the squad let alone start in a two man midfield with Bradley (who has only regressed since coming to MLS), how did he think that would work? And Omar Gonzalez too, dude was completely out of the national team picture for a while before he had a few decent games in Mexico and suddenly he's starting in a qualifier next to Orozco, who can't even get a game in Liga MX? It's all so shit.
