dpetzz 36 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) what is more embarassing....the performance or the fact that professional players don't know the rules.... discuss Edited November 16, 2019 by dpetzz Kent 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Beaver 2.0 327 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 We seem disconnected, in general. US goals have come on our mistakes, otherwise they are looking mostly meh. One of my hopes for this game was to see a cohesive effort, but we are not seeing the cohesion that we need. The US have been clinical with their chances, all of which we've gifted them. You just can't do that at this level. I expect a better second half, but this one is probably out of reach. Link to post Share on other sites
adrenaline11 32 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Take Osorio off, put in Miller at LB, push Davies up to LW. Link to post Share on other sites

Long shot for sure but for my money Canada have outplayed the US but the US have been clinical in front of goal and taken advantage of Canada's useless central defence. The better team can always come back. Dude, I like your optimism.... but on no planet in this galaxy have we outplayed anyone. Link to post Share on other sites

Terrible. Rumour has it that this is the sort of decision that concerned MDS wrt Henry and the Caps. Link to post Share on other sites

BearcatSA 624 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I'm unable to watch this match but let's see if we can win the second half and make this a match. Let's see what kind of mental toughness they have. Lofty 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Vitoria made a challenge that he couldn't make(leaping for the fracking header), when doneil was pointing him down, the third he was outta position. Or you'll say it was Doniels man? Foh Watch the highlights, and tell me what game are you watching. Link to post Share on other sites
Corazon 1,698 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I have to agree. Doneil has not been good on the ball but I've seen more of Vitoria & Davies at fault for the goals. Even Borjan. The only time I even saw David was on his laziness on the first goal. At least Davies has been somewhat dangerous going forward.

villus 155 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Herdman is out of his depth tactically. He's not going to get us over the hump, he's pushing buttons. Link to post Share on other sites

The better team can always come back. I think the game may be just out of reach at three, but I agree that the U.S. have capitalized on their chances. That first goal really frazzled Canada, I'm afraid, and they've been playing on the back foot ever since. Our offence is way better than what's on display today. They're just shellshocked because of goals conceded as a result of atrocious defending. Link to post Share on other sites
apbsmith 1,408 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Kind of annoying 2/3 US goals came off a set piece. We have looked very suspect at the back overall, not gonna lie. John Brooks is annoying but good, def a defensive upgrade for them. I think we can make it a game, should be super wide open now. Let's hope for a better result this 2nd half.

Big_M 1,976 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 davies and miller not good enough for lb starter..find one..vitoria having a bad day..always the same story with borjan..mistakes, yelling and losing cool..gotta change the #1 pretty soon Link to post Share on other sites

This is a good test for us, let's see how we do in the second half. Lofty 1 Link to post Share on other sites

villus 155 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Davies is an attacking defender. For Bayern it's great because they dominate possession and have really good wingers ahead of him. For Canada we play an attacking fullback who's our best attacking threat in a game where we should be generally soaking up pressure and countering, he's playing high to try and get in the ball in attacking areas and is barely involved. Playing Miller who will stay home makes a lot more sense then try to get Davies into space, but nah herdman I'm important games takes our biggest threat and moves him back out of dangerous areas to play no players who really thrive counter attacking and stretching a defense.

Floortom 1,740 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Davies can play left back at Bayern because he has ample coverage and amazing teammates. He’s been bad for us there Obinna and king1010 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Bdog 928 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 This is just embarrassing, it feels like we’re going to make a defensive mistake every time they go forward. After conceding the first (after everyone fell asleep on their goal) I thought we had a stretch where we did start looking like the better team, it all went downhill after the no call on the penalty. We only have ourselves to blame here but the fact that they’re getting every call and we’re getting NOTHING is making this 10x more stressful. I’d be way less pissed off if the reffing was better. At this point let’s please just show some pride. Link to post Share on other sites
