Aaronson should start up top with Pulisic, but I would not be surprised that Arriola gets the start since he must have the goods on Berhalter, because Berhalter always chooses Arriola over Hoppe and anyone else we have.

Zach Steffan or Matt Turner? I am guessing Berhalter will go with Steffan from here on out in Qualifying unless injury or poor play results.

Gregg is intentionally sabotaging the team. There’s no other explanation for this roster. To leave out John Brooks and Konrad for MacKenzie and Arriola is a capital crime. If he’s going to say “brooks has made mistake in the last few games” then what the hell are Letget, arriola, and Acosta doing on the roster? Brooks has been playing great in the champions league while Lletget fails to start for LA Galaxy. I don’t understand what is going on in this dudes head. The hamster wheel is not turning right.

In typical USSF fashion, those A license coaches in their stupid track suits always have their favorites from their prejudices. Pulisic will be lucky to see ten minutes in either of these games. Chelsea’s coach is telling Berhalter that Pulisic is still experiencing pain, which means he will not be a viable option. Yet, instead of playing an attacking goal scorer, we get another forward who gets lauded for doing all those other things besides scoring goals. Screw that! Soccer is about scoring goals. You win by scoring. It seems so obvious, but these knucklehead coaches seem to forget that and seem to concentrate on maintaining useless possession in order to tell themselves that our team is better because they keep the ball. Possession is not all there is. Scoring is what matters. We cannot score often enough. We can’t even cross or do set pieces well. I want to see Hoppe on the roster, because he plays with the right attitude to take on defenders and go for goal. |

I’m actually ok with pulisic coming off the bench against Mexico. Aaronson has played great the past few games and Weah is more than capable. Right back may be an issue. Scally has been playing great in Germany but for a players first game to be a qualifier against Mexico is pretty harsh. I also want Brooks on the field against Mexico. We need that big enforcer against them to show who’s boss. Gooch, Brooks, miazga, bocanegra, etc… I don’t know if our current CBs have that mentality. Hopefully McKennie and Adam’s can make up for that.
Either way, 6 points from these games or Fire him.

I think Tyler Adams had been our best player in qualifying so far. I would feel more comfortable with Brooks on the roster as he could be called on if our current backline gets injured, carded, or plays poorly. I am not as weary of our backline as you are as I think that is the one area I think Berhalter has done a good job with since this summer. I like our tall defenders and even feel they are capable of playing a 3 defensive line up. I am not always confident of our reliance on defensive wingers of the Frankie Hedjuck type as it requires so much to be done properly. There are times it works and times it becomes a disaster.

I agree Adams is probably our most important player. As expected, pulisic won’t be starting against Mexico. I’m ok with it and think if we need a boost late he can come in and make something happen. I doubt we will go with a 3 back but since you mention it I wouldn’t mind seeing Zimmerman, robsinson, and Richards in a back 3. That’s really solid. But a 3-5-2 leaves me wondering who would Be next to pepi |

My pick with today’s roster would be Aaronsonn since he has been the most productive, but we know Berhalter will pick Aariola since he has damaging information on Berhalter and will release said information if Berhalter puts him on the bench. I still think Hoppe is our best option up top, but he is nowhere to be found. Weah might start to get some consideration, but I need to see a little more production from him.
