I am leaning towards that so we can put Berhalter on. His set pieces are so much better than Pulisic’s (though Tillman is now intriguing).


Berhalter should not be on the field at the same time as Tyler Adams unless we are hunkering in defense. He is not good enough in possession or creative enough to take one of the other midfield positions beyond the defensive holding role.

I mean, he did score a goal in the last World Cup. In the round of 16 too lol

ETA he also put 2 in the net against Australia last October in friendlies so he's definitely shown form for us.


These are not recent enough data points to be relevant but he did help a Championship side get promoted. His club performance is the pitch because we have very small sample size in recent months with the USMNT.
