Okafor as a striker! Interesting. Something i’ve wanted to see for a long time
I might of jinxed us by being awake for this game. Xoxo from California
Very interested to see how this lineup does. The front 3 is quick and dynamic so I'm very curious to see how they move and what they can do.
RLC very poor so far. Fcked up a few chances
Overdribbling in the final 3rd again. That should have been a 1 touch trap and a 2nd touch release into Pulisic. Instead, there was an unnecessary touch to dribble the ball and possession was lost.
Our players, in general, take more touches than necessary. Sometimes dribbling the ball straight toward a player to who they end up passing to anyway. It's as if they have no confidence to pass the ball longer than 10 meters, so they have to bring it closer.
Hit the crossbar twice. First Okafor and then Pulisic a few minutes later. We're getting closer and closer to the lead.
RLC adds close to nothing inpur buildup. He's a danger in the box for crosses, yes. But other than that, except losing possession and slowing down play, he has added nothing to the midfield. He's playing as a 10, but doesn't do what a 10 should do.
He’s better on the right in a 4-3-3 as a ball carrying mid. But IMO he’s a weak spot in this team.
Bennacers passing is bad.
I’m not sure what he adds over Adli. They both make mistakes but Adli at least has some key passes in him.
