Here for Todd Barry. Outside of that, just checking the pulse.

Also, if we went from having young midfield group of McKennie, Musah, Adams, Reyna 4 years ago to now relying on a group of Adams, Tessman, Berhalter, Roldan, Cardoso, & Morris in the center of the field, well, it's safe to say that concerns me. #USMNT

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

I'm sorry, I don't care how little Gio Reyna is playing - Diego Luna ahead of him on any depth chart is absolute insanity. Luna even making the roster at all is insanity imo.

Also, these new kits are ugly

Pulisic is poor or mediocre for the USMNT way more often than fans & media want to acknowledge. It’s not just today,

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

I swear, from listening to all their podcasts I’ve found the group of former USMNT player/talking heads that we have to be way more irrationally reactionary than fans on Twitter.

Hat-trick for Haji Wright today vs Middlesborough at the top of the Championship— Coventry in 1st!

I always thought it might be Wright vs Agyemang for the 3rd striker… but could potentially be looking at Balogun, Wright, Agyemang and now Pepi off? #USMNT

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

& remember how we struggled during qualifying & barely scraped into the '22 WC? If he hadn't been suspended & missed the games that he did, that doesn't happen & we qualify w more ease.He was our most important player then & he's our most important player now

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

Still seeing people saying McKennie isn't a technical player. I played & have been following the USMNT since the 80s, & if that's the case, then I no longer know what "technical" means.

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

Other than that one period, McKennie has been the best, most important, AND most consistent USMNT player since he first ever put on the shirt. Yes, that includes Pulisic (who actually has subpar showings somewhat often)

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

The people to listen to with the correct view of Weston McKennie are Doug McIntyre, Tab Ramos, and the Scuffed guys. #USMNT

[Doug McIntyre @ByDougMcIntyre]

Said it before, will say it again: with all due respect to Michael Bradley, Tab Ramos, Claudio Reyna etc., Weston McKennie is the best midfielder in #USMNT history.

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

With the players available & depth at their positions, I don’t know how you can justify Luna taking up one of the attacking spots & Roldan taking a MF spot

Miles Robinson over Trusty literally only for another right-foot among the CBs

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

Have any of the American soccer journalists ever ASKED Pochettino or Gregg why Pulisic is our free kick & corner taker? I’ve never heard it asked or addressed. There is really no explanation for it. It’s obvious to everyone. #USMNT

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

I have no big issue w/ the way Dest played yesterday but he just doesn’t look the same as before & it’s unsettling. He was always so crucial to our buildup & anything we did in attack. And to think ARob might not be the same either, I don’t feel great #USMNT

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

Tessman is a USMNT player for sure. He’s arrived now. We finally have a little bit of solid MF depth behind McKennie & Adams, or even someone who could start. I stll think Cardoso just needs more of a run-out / string of games.

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

Gio has literally done this and more every single time he’s ever put on a USMNT shirt, the only exception being when Berhalter had him playing deeper in the Copa America before his firing. This is just what he does.

“That performance from Gio Reyna re-announces himself back in the mix!” 🗣️

@stuholden breaks down the midfielder’s dominant one-goal, one-assist showing in the @USMNT’s win over Paraguay 🇺🇸

[lowerwolves15 @lowerwolves15]

Good thing we scheduled a tough opponent like Uruguay for our guys to gel w only 2 internatl windows before the WC so that we can play it w/o Pulisic, McKennie, Richards, ARob, Adams, Malik, Weah, Johnny & Musah. We may as well have scheduled Aruba. #USMNT
