Still a focus on youth. Love this roster. The right keepers are here, team leaders and best performers are here, kids that showed their worth last camp are here, and a couple newer names too.
I am wondering where Ellis falls in this roster, and how he will be used. I actually thought he was more complete as a player than Hall last camp (outside of his flubbed attempt that he should have passed). I’ll concede that Hall was constantly in the right place though, maybe more than Ellis.
Love that Pierre is back. I didn’t think he put a foot wrong last window, and would love to see him start alongside Richards. I think Trusty is to anxious under pressure and is indecisive when the ball is in the air defensively.

That looks like our A team. Would love to see Sullivan playing with them.

I’m glad Castañeda got a callup. He’s been playing very well apparently. It’s neat to see RBW and Reynolds back in the fold.
My big gripe is Poch not calling in Musah who has been starting in midfield for Milan and just went the distance in the Milan derby. I’m as much of a “play the kids” guy as anyone on this board and I don’t see what Mehmeti offers in a competitive game that puts him above Musah. Poch’s odd fascination with Musah at wingback might play a role here and obviously he and Adri play the CM role differently.

Yeah, there’s a couple of weird “Poch-isms”… Weah not being played on the right wing is another.
It almost feels like Poch is fishing for a stable presence that is consistent in their performances they put in for country. Weah and Musah are both still young, but neither have had a great game for the flag in a good while. I feel like they don’t fit the style we need to play with the player profiles that are essentially what we’d call “locked in” starters.
Our back line is sorted, for the most part, aside from one of the CB spots. In midfield, McKennie/Tillman/Adams are undroppable at the moment. Then up top it is Pulisic and Balogun. Poch has frequently opted for an extra player in the right side of midfield rather than an out-and-out winger over there, likely because the back end has been arse and we have backs on both sides that like to push high when they can.
Musah is great in space, but we all know you don’t get that most of the time in the national team. He isn’t that strong on the ball, and can be bad in passing at times. Solid player… Just not a dynamic playmaker.
Weah does fine as a wingback, but he was always best iso’d on the right and using his speed and attacking ability. Just seems like he doesn’t fit in the RM/RWB profile with any great stability or boost to the product from Poch’s view and tactical selections.
Hard to decipher. I really like them both, though. I kind of think there may be hope we move to using a 4-3-3 at times if Pierre or Some frick can solidify that other CB role.

Agreed. And as much of a fan as I am of Adri, he did not have a great window last month

We desperately need a goalkeeping prospect to step up and take hold of the position for the next couple of cycles.
Maybe that's eventually Kochen, after all he's only 20. But he's getting absolutely abused in Denmark right now and the rest of our depth chart is middling MLS guys.

Yeah and I know he's bringing in the really young guys into the mix, but Aiden Morris is playing out of his damn mind and still didn't get called in.

McKenzie is in for Campbell due to injury.
Gio also got injured after scoring yesterday (hopefully it's not too serious) and will miss the window. Mcglynn who is currently on a tear with Stroke will replace him.

Is ManU about to hire Poch?

Not ideal

But completely predictable.
It was the main reason why I and others voiced our concerns when it was announced he was getting the 2030 cycle. All signs pointed to him just needing a paycheck until a club job opened for him.

Live look at BJ Callaghan after smashing the MLS points record this season.

At the rate ManU is burning through managers, if he left now he would be able to come back and coach the US for 2030.

I’m not sure I’ve ever read a truer statement than this.

Poch to ManU would be absolutely insane.
