re: USMNT Starting 11 and Future?

Sounds a lot like Pep’s 4-1-2-3 except he has the inverted wingback on the left.

We saw it a lot to start the year when Mendy was fit and when he and Sane played together. If I understand that article, Adams won’t be bombing on the overlap though and will tuck in instead.

I’m not an expert on Adams’ game, but I believe his best position is as a CM, or a deep lying playmaker of sorts (If I’m wrong then my bad lol). I’m curious if he’ll be able to orchestrate what Berhalter is looking for.

I tend to be against national team managers using ‘complicated’ or ‘advanced’ tactics because I feel like the players don’t really get enough time together to really help and read where each other will be unless they’re experienced in the system and with one another which sounds like a key factor in this role Adams will play.

Will be interesting to see it at work.
