but the way Brooks played last window I'm not upset about him missing.



That's a dumb way of looking at things.

Guess you are pissed McKennie's back, huh?

US Soccer just announced that no replacement for Brooks will be named ahed of the Jamaica match.

So maybe someone comes in prior to Panama or Costa Rica.

Yeah, it sucks that Pulisic, Reyna and Brooks are out, because those are three arguably top 5 players in our pool, but Weah and Aaronson are solid replacements on the wing and McKenzie or Richards are solid replacements at CB.


I agree with this. My pessimism is more just seeing the toll the first window took, our depth takes a bit hit with those three guys out.

I am very excited to see if musah/aaronson/weah can really step up and deliver or create goals this window.

I really hope he gets a chance.

I'm still pissed that Gregg didn't play him at all in Nations League when all he had done before and after that with the USMNT is be composed on the ball under pressure and link the defense to the attack.

Yeah.
I think he should start Thurs but hard to see him going from not playing at all to that.

Yea it’s hard for me to come up with a lineup from this player pool that leaves musah on the bench against Jamaica. The home games especially are the ones I want to see musah and dest and weah get a long run out.

I think vs Jamaica we see this:

Turner
Dest-Richards-MRob-ARob
Adams
McKennie-Musah
Aaronson-Pepi-Weah

vs Panama I think we see a lot of the guys who haven't played in road WCQ's or haven't fared well in road WCQ's rotated out:

Turner
Yedlin-MRob-McKenzie-ARob
Adams
McKennie-Acosta
Arriola-Pepi-Aaronson

Another thing I’d like to see the US do during a qualifying window like this - play both home games in the same city. For the euro players especially they are traveling to Austin to Panama to Ohio. I think we’d be better served sticking with a single home base during this window and playing both games in the same stadium.

Will never happen.

The overall fanbase isn't strong enough to where the can't afford to alienate parts of the country.

Does it really matter if they are traveling to a different country in between?

Not at all. He f'd up and he served his punishment. If Greg and the team say it's good, it's good.

But on top of fricking up off the field, he looked like shite against El Salvador.

If Brooks is no big loss, neither is McKennie, right?

To be fair everybody looked bad against El Salvador.

Brooks backed it up by continuing to look bad against Canada, Honduras and then back at Wolfsburg against Lille.

Ok, then don't play McKennie? Is that what you want me to say in regards to my thoughts on Brooks?

Jesus Christ no, I just think it's dumb that you think not having Brooks is positive.
