re: Question regarding US national Team

Dest is ok at rb but he’s arse on defense.

Dest was amazing this tournament outside of the knockout game.

Reyna and Aaronson should be starters. Even if that means you have to sacrifice one of the midfield trio to fit Reyna in. I know Weah is great, but Aaronson not starting for us was criminal. He’s been class this season at Leeds. That’s 3.

Weah was also amazing. I don't know if you noticed Gio not playing ANY defense in the second half of the game on Sat. Which means he cannot be relied upon to play as one of the 8s in a 433; replacing Weah or Christian are the only options if you are going to play everyone in their preferred positions. I don't necessarily disagree that Weah out wide was the best decision for this team as he has been too good for us out wide. Christian was also our best attacking player in the tournament.
Aaronson gets manhandled when he has played in teh middle for the US. You saw that against the Dutch and Iran when he came in. He cannot progress the ball the way our 8s need to and is better out wide as well.

So four players for 2 spots. Someone has to sit.
