He's hardly ever asked to play as a true defensive mid for the USA

No shite. Toronto is going to be hard pressed to keep him.

I chortled a bit.
I'm not concerned about a lack of goals from open play against a team that was obviously bunkering.
In fact, scoring two from set pieces against a team like that is pretty solid work.

True. It was more to say this wasn't a total shite opponent that everyone beats 5-0Posted on 5/27/14 at 11:25 pm to thenry712
But, my biggest issue is I don't know why we ran out a lineup like that in a World Cup prep game. Are we really going to try to put a really attacking lineup on the field in Brazil?
I may need to get a keg if that's the case.

The huge problem with Jones is his penchant for getting caught in possession against quick teams.
That's partly because he'll do borderline insane shite to try to work his way out of tough situations, e.g., the entire first half of the Costa Rican disaster. I didn't see that tonight in any of the few situations where he was under any significant amount of pressure.

I was at work until the 70th so I caught the two goals but missed the Dempsey injury, the starting lineup, and anything else that happened before then. If it's not too much of pain could someone give their thoughts on how we looked?
From what I saw Jozy was taking some heavy touches when he was given pretty good passes and couldn't ever really keep possession. I was hoping he could get a goal to get some confidence after this season at Sunderland.

Yes, it was Azerbaijan, but Jozy Altidore had 52 touches tonight, his most in a #USMNT game in the last 2 years.
That's also really promising for Jozy and our midfield, considering his touches were almost all outside the attacking third.
He had a few decent runs to the touchline, and drew a good number of fouls while holding the ball.

Yeah hard to judge Jones under little to no pressure...
Posted on 5/27/14 at 11:33 pm to thenry712
i thought jozy played really well. i agree that the wind was ridiculous and that it should be taken into account. it looked nearly impossible to have any success with any balls in the air.

So AZE only had one shot on goal.
How much of that was because of our outstanding defense and how much because of AZE's putrid offense?

We started with a midfield diamond and DMB at left fullback. Besler was uncharacteristically bad the first half. Wondo immediately missed two golden opportunities off set pieces from Zusi. Bedoya looked good and Johnson looked good when he made runs from fullback, but his touch kept letting him down. Jozy reverted to bad-Jozy at times and kept dropping deep. Bradley was bad. DMB was atrocious.
Davis, Chandler, and Gonzo came in at halftime for Zusi, DMB, and Cameron. Bradley stayed bad, Jozy fell out of the match, and Davis should have won a penalty. Then Bacon came on for Wondo, Yedlin came in for Johnson, and Mix came in for Bedoya. Then you started watching.

Everything about our attack just seemed listless with Bradley playing bad, no Dempsey, and... brace yourself...
no Donovan.
With the way Azeri was bunkering, it probably wouldn't have mattered but, until Mix came in, there was nobody who seemed confident in taking on defenders with the ball.

From all indications Jurgy wants to go all out attack on Ghana and get 3 points. Make sure you get a keg big enough for all of us.

I'm so glad we are going back to this "JK knows and coaches zero tactics" meme right before the World Cup. It's so helpful and grown up.
Lets just forget everything that's happened over the past two years.

Ray Hudson showered Klinsmann with compliments including his tactics, on the Football Show yesterday morning. It's kind of like the Jermaine Jones gets a yellos every match. People say these things because they hear others say it......true or not.

The problem there was that Jones is not a liability there.
Exactly .Jones was set up playing as an anchor man with Dempsey out and Bradley tryin to push higher up. I thought he played very well. I still expect a 4-2-3-1 in the world cup so we will try to outflank opponents but a 4-4-2 wouldn't be a bad lineup against Portugal or Ghana style teams
