Who do you absolutely not want to see in October

We usually try and come up with our desired 23 (or 26 in Bruce's case) man rosters for big games. I'd rather know who you absolutely don't want to see. I'm sure there will be some consensus, but it's still a fun thought experiment.
Zusi- so this one is fairly obvious. He's pretty bad as a RB in that he lacks the athleticism to get up and down the field and also has bad positional awareness. His slight edge at crossing means nothing if he's continuously fricking up. I would prefer (if healthy) Yedlin, Chandler, Lichaj, Cameron, Fabian, Tyler Adams, and Roldan at RB. That's 7 freaking guys off the top of my head, and I've never even seen Roldan play at RB. I think I've heard in passing that Adams can play at RB. I'm not even sure that's accurate, but frick Gray ham zusi.
Beasley- I thank him for his service, but his time at an international level is clearly over. He was always dependent on his speed and he no longer has that. I would prefer Villafaña, Garza, Ream, Besler, and Fabian at that spot
Rimando- pretty inconsequential, but I don't really understand including him at this point. He'll never be the number 1, and we're fricked if he ever is
Wondo- pretty sure I don't have to explain this one

In the 23, the 3 guys you mentioned.
In the starting XI, I hate watching Dempsey walk around the pitch not giving a shite for 90 minutes. He needs to be a super sub.
Also, Omar's defending on that goal yesterday gave me aids so he also gets a vote for players who should never start.

Certainly shouldn't start Dempsey in near 100 degree heat on the road. Especially when it keeps pulisic from playing in his optimal position.
I agree that I also don't want Omar to start, but we don't have many healthy CBs ahead of him right now.

I just want Yedlin wrapped up in bubble wrap for the next month and we also need to find brooks some horse placenta.

I think Zusi has been serviceable in his role as a RB for the USMNT

Literally every match we've played where Zusi has been our right back, the opposition has made his side of the field their focal point of attack and it has been dangerous.
He's not overly fast and is only a year removed from making the move to the position. He has been mediocre against CONCACAF, which scares me what that means he will be against a step up in competition.
Yedlin HAS to be healthy next month.

Even if yedlin isn't healthy, we should not start Zusi

Zusi/Beasley...
We have played and played with the Zusi option over and over we should of invested our time in Lichaj.

i've finally accepted this. or at the very least only start him in ideal home situations. not on the road in a frick fest like honduras with a field that takes away pretty much all skill and trickery, and forces you to rely on speed and endurance.

oh, and i don't ever want to see Omar Gonzalez again. letting that ball run right in front of him last night allowing that goal was one of the more fricked up things i've seen from our defense...and that's saying something. Thanks for your service...you've been processed.

Zusi at fullback
Wondo and Beasley (the former's continued inclusion absolutely baffles me)

Wondo is in good form and has some experience in CONCACAF. I also totally disagree with his inclusion, but I'm sure that's why. Also very little likelihood a 5th striker gets minutes in a 2 game set, even with Arena's penchant for team turnover

Omar is pretty clearly behind Brooks, Cameron, and Besler.
Where would you have him with CCV, miazga, hedges, zimmerman, birnbaum, ream, EPB, etc?
Most of our alternatives are super inexperienced both with club and country

Wasting a roster spot on a guy you're not going to play, is old, and who the majority of the fanbase despises instead of on a young guy, as depth for a position of need, or a guy who can change your style/formation is fricking baffling. And I don't care what his domestic form is; he's been found wanting in internationals despite his form countless times.

Oh I didn't say the reasoning was good, but that's what it was. He should certainly never be called in again
