Feels good to finally have some WCQ momentum

I think Brooks needs to show the passion as a guy who should be the leader and vet of this team.

But he’s a much better player with Wolfsburg than he’s looked the last couple games. I don’t think he magically got worse. He’s just put in a worse position by his manager.

He seems like a smart and calm dude.

I’ll always wonder what Zlatan said that got him so riled up that he kicked his arse.

It doesn't seem like we practiced that formation much or the instruction wasn't good enough. Our spacing was horrible, defenders were caught out on islands, midfield was lost

He is responsible for 100% of the goals the US surrendered during this window.

When is Aaron Long going to be healthy again?

Central defense is by far our position with the least depth.

I think Brooks is one of our best players and should be locked into a starting role. But he didn’t play like it in this window.

Also, massive shoutout to Roldan who I’ve shite on numerous times. Briefly invisible, but also made some great plays tonight. Lletget was solid as well.

Pepi had a touch on the ball in the box on all 4 goals unless he completely whiffed on the Robinson goal

we can use Sargent as his back up because Sargent covers ground insanely well.


He did not cover ground well tonight. I agree Sargent was out of position but he needs to do some soul searching after the effort he put forth in the first 45. Sargent has a tough road ahead. Norwich City in a relegation fight isn’t likely to be the environment to boost a striker’s confidence.

Anything less than 7 points in the next window is bad bad.

6 is the minimum

Even if he didn't get a touch on that, he started the whole thing with some awesome hold up play before laying it off to Pulisic.

I thought Lletget was great in that second half, made the right passes that setup two goals. A much needed veteran presences on the road.

Agreed he didn’t cover well tonight. I watched him a ton at Bremen though, and he’s really good at covering ground.

He hasn’t proven himself as a goal scorer outside of against 2nd league teams. Putting him in when we need a goal doesn’t seem like the right move at this point.

He’s not wrong…

Gregg is a nice guy, self-aware, the players clearly like him, and he still has no business coaching this team.

Would make a very good assistant coach though.

We have some major momentum now. Finally some belief.

Antonee Robinson made the difference tonight.

Came in on fire, had a great finish early and then dominated his entire side of the field offensively and defensively. He immediately freed Pulisic up to operate.

His intensity changed the team's whole demeanor.
