The Nations League doesn't really matter but we now need results in our favor to stay in 6th place in Concacaf

Piette was one of our few good players

He was decent in the first half. Second half down 3 is not when you want Piette on. 

[Corazon]

A friendly in a few days is looking a little more important now 😥

[SkuseisLoose]

Well at least we’ll play friendlies next year.

[Obinna]

Eustaquio has been good at least

[Razcal]

Ugly, play. Ugly game, we were awful... we have a real issue away from home.

Ya , hindsight is 20/20. All we needed was a draw tn and nothing else mattered. We flat out dropped the ball tn.

Agree.  I would have been upset had they booked a friendly during this window so no complaints

We need Dominican Republic to repeat and beat El Salvador 

[The Beaver 2.0]

Sloppy, disjointed and too many mistakes. We did ourselves in, and the US were clinical on most of their chances. Not sure we got our tactics right. Davies had some nice moments, but this was not a successful outing for him. Nice to see Eustaquio get some minutes.  Kaye looked really good and would be even better if he was in game shape.  Now we need some games, not just to crack the Hex, but also to build cohesion and clean things up.

[Corazon]

My takeaways

Borjan - Was off tonight

Defense - All poor defensively including Cornelius but still probably the best of the 3 center backs today.  Laryea and Davies had strong moments going forward but both of them looked as poor defensively as our center backs.

Midfield - Piette had a strong first half but not a great second half.  Osorio, Arfield & Kaye all okay but periods of nothing.

Attack - Cavallini very poor.  David non existent altogether.

Tactics were off.

Positives - Eustaquio looked to control the midfield when he was on the field.  He's gonna control that midfield for years in my opinion.  Junior created some havoc once he was on as well.

gotta put kaye at lb..best solution there currently

[king1010]

So now im really interested in the inter-continental playoff draw....

[Alex]

For me the 2 centre backs going forward are Vitória and Cornelius. 

[kacbru]

We made it so they didn't really miss Pusilic, Bradley et al.

Agree but we still need to improve here.  Unfortunately even a Cornelius & Vitoria starting center back pair doesn't save us tonight or in any critical games.

So before today you saw us as Hexagonal top 3?!  Dare to dream! 😀

I was drinking the kool aid. Maybe challenge for that third spot or at least grab 4th and play in the second chance round.
