Our best will not be around at the next World Cup. Give the next generation minutes.

THAT should not be hard to grasp.

Bruce kind of asked Bradley to shut down the entire middle of the field by himself.

Bradley is a used up #8 that does not have the legs to run anymore. He is not a #6.

That’s on the coach.

Trapp will never be as good as Bradley, and by the time he gets close McKennie and Adams will have far surpassed him. Plus, Williams is also probably better although still up there in age.

It's not hard to grasp. However, we have a lot of important games between now and 2022.

Are y’all dense? No one is saying this. Play youth in these games and play your best in games that matter. It’s not complicated.


We are not dense Bradley is not the best! Play McKinnie as the #6 and leave rubber legs at home.

If Delgado could stop losing the ball that would be great.

You realize it's not an either/or situation, right?

Honestly how much do you follow this team? McKennie isn’t even in this camp.

Ideally I would want Pulisic at the 10 with McKinnie and Adams playing behind him.

Which all 3 naturally aren't here of course

Amon going off gives me a sad but he hasn’t had much to do this game with such poor distribution from our midfield.

I would be so down with that in a 3-5-2. McKennie can slide back to play defense in that situation too.

I know that, bud. I just don’t believe that Bradley playing makes the guys behind him any better. It is a far better strategy in my eyes to get the younger guys as much experience as possible. They have the talent, they lack the chemistry and senior team experience. So give it to them. That’s all I am saying we should do.

I am aware that McKennie is nicked the argument was for the "big games playing our best". I am also aware that McKennie has been used as by Schalke as a Swiss Army knife playing all over the central midfield, center back and outside back.

If Bradley is one of our best 5 in form CMs when it's time to play an official match, should he have had some minutes with these young guys to build some chemistry?

Canouse should get called up before Trapp.

Depends on your coaching outlook. I get your point, but I would prefer the long term strategy of getting my young guys experience and chemistry than play the short term strategy with Bradley and be boned when the World Cup comes around and he all of a sudden isn’t playing.
