Beckerman is Underrated

He's an all star in the MLS, and average but serviceable at the international level sans against the elite teams. Under-appreciated would probably be more accurate, he plays his role to a T and is a complete team player.

I didn't realize Beckerman was 31. Makes the dreadlocks even more ridiculous.

the dreads are awesome, dude

Bradley is pretty much a better everything than Jones or Beckerman. I just feel like Bradley should be paired with Jones over a guy like Mixx or Stu (and I fricking love Stu).

I wish Jermaine knew how to play DM like Cameron.

He does know how, he's better than Cameron at DM. But he doesn't play DM.. He's a box to box guy as well, he has considerable talent going forward(as does Bradley) but this boards judgement clouds the perception around Jermaine Jones.

Ok.

I wish Jermaine Jones was as positionally disciplined as Cameron in the DM position. Better?

Playing a 4-2-3-1 we can't have both of the 2 going up at the same time.

Easy there, I wasn't trying to come off like a dickhead. Jermaine has struggled with staying disciplined before, but he has better makeup speed than given credit for, and he's a destroyer with his standing tackles. Jurgen mentioned it before the last round of WCQ's that a major factor on this team was going to be the chemistry developed between MB90 and SnoFro. They must develop an understanding that when one pushes forward, the other has to hold, they looked good in the most recent WCQ's. I agree with the board also that SnoFro should defer to MB90 as the regista of the midfield. I love the 4-2-3-1 because I think we have the perfect personnel for it, and we have extremely talented pivot men (MB and Jones), they're the glue of the team.

I mean, he looks the same and all, but Frankie had that likable, "gnarly, bro" surfer shite going on while Alan Gordon called Will Johnson a ****.

When you look at Kyle Beckerman, you basically know who he is (also confirmed through interviews). I think that that person fits the role better.

True, but Frankie Hejduk was every bit the cocksucker (not in the Will Johnson sense) on the field that Alan Gordon is.

you're absolutely right, if I could redo this thread, I would say "under-appreciated." Much more applicable
