Sheep, Omar was pressuring the cross that Beasley got abused on on the 2nd goal. Watch the replay, you can clearly see Besler telling Beasley to mark the goalscorer backpost.
I think OG played decent last night, far from atrocious...
How long will this board defend Beasley? The dude will lose us games single handedly once we start playing the big boys.. He shouldn't get a pass just because he's been around over a decade.

No one is defending Beasley. LB is hell to play and there is no depth anywhere across the world.

I want Fabian there even if the creation suffers. Imagine how bad Beasley would get raped against a Robben, on form di Maria, or Lavezzi.

Beasley is like 4'11", and there were three attacking players at the far post. Besler was sitting in space doing nothing, and Orzco was still tracking back/providing cover for Gonzalez (who was out there because Orzco was caught up the field--I don't remember why).

As long as he's shoehorned into that spot, IMO.

HE'S A frickING FORWARD PLAYING DEFENSE.

He looks at least as good as Donovan or Dempsey or Eddie Johnson would in that position.

It's like Les Miles putting a linebacker at QB, flipping the game on and saying "This QB isn't worth a frick."
