We need Adu and Spector in there. Enough is Enough. Torres and Adu are the only two legitimate technically skilled players on the roster.

It is going to be a laugh in 2010.

Agreed, Beasley can’t contribute on offense, cause he can’t cross, and still keep his mark on defense. Often Donovan was covering for him and the entire middle markings. If Michael Bradley isn’t the epitome of why American soccer is so weak, I don’t know what is. The coach’s son supplanting a self made leader, who walked around the field and was beaten badly on the last goal and picks up a card from a lazy tackle. Wynne is terrible, no touch, no understanding. Altidore had no help what so ever from the worst midfield the US has put on a field in 50 years. Dempsey….was he playing??? The backfield was unorganized and kept clearing the ball to no one…..reminded me of my U-13 days. Donovan and the US team needs to make chances of the set pieces, those were garbage. Overall, poor defense, poor build up from lazy midfieders, and can’t assess the offense cause I didn’t see it.

Beasley has no business playing defense, he looked lost the entire game, and Wynn was also horrible. We need to see some BIG changes on defense if we will be competitive.

Thanks Brooks. Being reported as a 4-3-3 formation. Potentially the most attack oriented formation/lineup in the Bradley era (or maybe ever for the US?)
