Bringing on three players before the 70' minute is fricking stupid. That's all on Klinsmann. Altidore was gassed before we made the changes. He needed to be subbed off, instead we took off GAM who looked much more adept to the climate.

Seriously, leaving jozy out there basically reduced us to 10 men. He had his hands on his knees in the 52nd minute for christ sake.

People who say we have no talent stfu because you look ignorant. This is probably man for man the most talent the USA has ever had, we have more players in Europe and quality teams than ever before. The midfield selections and bunker ball that we are playing is whats killing us

This article discusses our midfield issues well

quote:

Frankly, I think it’s part of the inscrutable formation mysteries that Klinsmann creates game after game. Three defensive-minded midfielders. Sacha Kljestan or Jose Torres on the wing. Maurice Edu in the hole. None of that makes any sense.

The ever-changing sets and cast of characters means there’s always that half-second of confusion when trying to close down service, and against a team as sharp as Honduras, that can be all she wrote

TL;DR: Klinsmann is a tactical novice.
