On the broadcast they were saying that Williams was left behind to recover from injuries and possibly earn a transfer to another club. Strange decision right after bringing him back into the fold.

 

:thup: by all accounts he had a strong season for Reading. I'd like to see him try his hand back in a top flight division, either the PL or Bundesliga.

#USMNT Starting XI vs. Honduras: Guzan; Chandler, Alvarado, Brooks, Johnson; Beckerman, Yedlin, Zardes, Bradley; Dempsey, Altidore #USAvHON

 

 

Erm, I like Beckerman and all and will assume he will prove me wrong but I'll be honest - I'm actually over starting Him and Dempsey these days and would much rather see Aron and Mix.

Yeah Bench, was actually expecting him to start.

 

I've always been a massive Jnr Jones fan and wishing he was playing the DM role as he's got more to his all-around game. I'm honestly happy to see the eventual replacement for Dempsey too. As crazy as I sound. Always feel like we look more cultured with Mix these days too.

Nah, my man Clint gotta start until his legs fall off. Far and away the best attacking player we have still.

This should be Beckerman's last tournament...I agree totally, time to start blooding the next gen. But I'm okay with Klinsmann playing it a bit a safer if it means we get a guaranteed spot in the 2017 Confed Cup.

Beckerman slows everything down

@NUFC_US: Everyone in the US is discovering what watching Pardew's #nufc with a 2-1 lead was like. #USAvHON

 

:lol:

 

:lol: When the fuck did that motherfucker ever have a 2-1 lead.

If I were Omar Gonzalez, I'd feel pretty hard done by Klinsmann. Alvarado has seemingly been anointed the future at CB despite looking pedestrian at best whenever he's appeared for the U.S. He's clearly talented, you don't start for Club America at age 22 if you're not. But it feels like a bit of that anti-MLS Klinsmann bias creeping in...Gonzalez would probably do well to look towards Europe (or even Mexico). If for no other reason than he's maxed out playing in MLS, arguably been the league's best CB the past couple seasons.

I'm sure he'll get a few starts during the rest of the tournament, three games in seven days and all that.

 

Which is something else that irks me about Klinsmann, his constant switching at CB. Fine if he's settled on Brooks and Alvarado, but stick with them for every single match. Consistency, developing a solid partnership is crucial at CB and we haven't really had an established CB pairing since JK took over, to the detriment of the defense. Gonzalez-Besler was the closest we came but Besler has apparently already been phased out.

 

I know I'm wanting to eat my cake and have it too in this case. :lol:

Brooks is my main man to be honest. Excellent passer of the ball and has pace and strength. Good in the air as well. Omar gets burnt far too often and would have been torn a new one versus the pace of Honduras. 

 

My issue with Jurgen is Beckerman.

 

I also like us with Fab at RB and Yedlin LB. prefer someone to play RW opposite of Zardes - who I'm now a big fan of.
