The guy is actually a good tactician, probably the best we've ever had...

that being said, looked really bad the first half. completely understandable, the guy just got the job.

despite the bad start he clearly saw the problems and made adjustments in the 2nd half we played VERY well.

I think we are gonna see a LOT of improvement between now and the next world cup just because of his tactical knowledge

Basically he was Bob Bradley tonight. Poor first half, good adjustments, much better second half.

Difference being this was after less than a month on the job, Bradley was doing that 5 years later. I'm more confident in Klinsmann now than coming into tonight

It's too early to tell after 10 days and 90 minutes.

I applaud him for not playing not to get embarrassed, if that makes sense.

Tough assignment playing a supremely confident Mexico with a bunch of guys who either haven't played much with the U.S. or were being asked to do some new things.

i haven't seen anything like what i saw in the second half under bob bradley. we dominated the ball against a quality opponent while constantly creating chances

And a lot of it has to do with the Bob mentality still being there. Coming back in the second half is what we did regularly under Bob. Honestly I can't fully assess JK after tonight. It's a start.

I just watched the last 30 mins and it was amazing how much better the short passing was. Torres and Shea are definitely keepers.

Have you ever seen him smile? That's his normal face. He always looks like that.

he played a Bob game, first half was horrible with great a great second half after some good subs

hopefully Jurgen learned a little more on who to start

I still want to see what combinations that he puts together but I did like his use of Donovan tonight. Landycakes looked revitalized in the second half.

I'll consider him a huge improvement if, for no other reason, the US can finally string together some possessions throughout the match, as we saw in the second half...especially with better finishing.

I like coaches with a little personality... a little flair.

I think we made a good start tonight.

Promising start to the Klinnsman era. Those 2nd half adjustments were great, and we flowed with the ball better than we have in a long time.
