re: Antigua and Barbuda v USA 6:00pm CST BeIN Sports

The thing that bothered me most was the lack of chances created. A&B was bunkering most of the game, forcing us to make way too many negative passes back to our defenders. I get it Klinsmann, you like possession football. We don't have the players yet to unlock a tight team through the middle. We do have a bunch of hard and tall players to aim for in the box. We should have been hoofing in crosses Dalglish Liverpool style, especially knowing the lethality of GAM, Dempsey, Gordon and our defenders in the box.

Bob Bradley would have done this immediately. Bob Bradley could make in game adjustments better than any USMNT manager.

This. Could you imagine Spain playing in place of us tonight? I don't think anyone could have come in and plowed. Not on that field. Not in those conditions. Not against those tactics.

Well get used to it. It shouldn't be a shocker in CONCACAF. Klinsmann should know this already. Especially with his staff. Shitty CONCACAF Refs, shitty fields, shitty team with questionable tactics. It's dirty as frick.


To have Landon hurt and knowing...
To have Shea hurt and knowing before hand, sorta....
To have Fab sick with the flu and knowing before the first game...
To not have any width in any of games.
To play possession ball w/o width, clinical passers, and finishers.
To be so naive to think you don't need any other players on your roster and not call up Eric Lichaj....even if he isn't a first choice, how isn't he a phone call away?

All mistakes by Klinsmann, IMO.
