SEMTEX Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 He's played 39 games for the US. It's not like he's made 1 appearance in an Ireland friendly. Half the time he ends up on the wing because he can't defend for shit and is just fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Also, he is an idiot. http://www.starsandstripesfc.com/2016/6/11/11910780/watch-deandre-yedlin-sent-off-vs-paraguay-after-receiving-two-yellow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Oh shit, so this could actually happen. He has improved a lot in the last year, hopefully Rafa could push him even further Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm totally on board with Yedlin. Love me a blazing fast fullback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the time he ends up on the wing because he can't defend for s*** and is just fast. Would he work as just a winger then ? Does he offer a lot going forward, I must admit to knowing next to nothing about his abilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll get past his man a few times until everyone realises what he is. Basically the type of player I hate. The type of player that typifies why UK/US player development is total shit. Ameritoon claims he's improved recently, and I've not exactly been religiously watching him play, so maybe what I'm saying is nonsense. But! I distinctly recall Deuce trying to claim Freddy Adu wasn't utter shit, so I'm taking what Ameritoon says with a grain of salt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Disappointing but unsurprising on the bas Dost front. Was never going to drop down to the championship. Yedlin is absolutely rapid and was the great new American hope prior to his spuds move. I still don't know if we need him. Sterry must be Uber pap and gamez more fucked than expected.

toonarmy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 As an American, I'll be one of those few that have seen a lot of Yedlin, he's got a lot of talent but can be a little inconsistent and frustrating. I like him a lot...as a wingback. He's the definition of athlete, but his football brain isn't that clever, and he can often be out of position defensively. If he's meant to be a defender, he's a huge liability basically. He's also not quite a winger, as his crossing and final pass can be frustrating at times. But if we would play him as someone who is meant to speed up the field, turn defense into offense, overlaps, etc. to unlock the defense, then he can run riot over this league.

With the personnel we have now, perhaps 3 cbs and wing backs is a better formation for us, dunno if Rafa has played that formation a lot in the past though.

Stifler Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 No surprise. Aue, bye bye. He had promise and was better than Debuchy but for the last year or so he hasn't seemed interested. If he was more interested then he'd be a rather good RB, he just doesn't have the right attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
