Take off Volpato and bring on Mabil

It's too late now to bring on Awer Mabil since we've already made all our substitutions.

Chalk and cheese boys and girls between the first half taking the game on now and in the first half we invited them to come at us baffling

Not baffling
That’s Popa game

Worst I've seen from Bos. What a let down today.

 

[Villa Dan]

Losing to two assy goals is just even more infuriating.

We gave this US team too much respect.

Way to much like there Argentina or something

Okay I haven't watched men's football in years but I woke up early so joined in at 60 minutes, and while I'm enjoying this aggressive play style (I like pushing) over the possession-based play of the Tillie's, it sure does result in a lot of "pinball" lol

Yer he’s struggled but full on defense mode is not his natural game 24/7

That's what I can't understand he outsmarted himself

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Foul on Irankunda not even looked at.

 

[McZero]

Irankundu dragged down, dragged down

 

[Quicky]

I don't understamd why we don't have Yengi on. If we're throwing it in the mixer. We need to play differently if we're going with Irankunda at CF. Crosses won't do it

 

[JS96]

The only reason we're winning balls is because the USA are two ahead. Like a boxer leading on points they'll allow some body shots to maintain a lead.

 

[Beretta]

Much better second half performance, clearly shows popa got the team selection wrong.



Hopefully lessons learnt for our next game against Paraguay.

But that’s his A game that’s it

Poppa scared to change the shape so he threw Irvine on in the hope for his late runs into the box.

 

[JS96]

Irankunda as a target man is ridiculous. Best put Irvine on the 9 here to win in the air.

True B but at the same time yanks are in control not chasing the game.
They have slowed or we have finally cut some distribution down

Utter crap buddy we got it totally wrong first half inviting the USA to come at us

 

[Captain Haddock]

The longer this game goes on, the more evident it is we could've won this if only Poppa had set the team up with the assumption we actually could win this. Frustrating as f**k.

Nestory Irankunda is a similar type of player to Holly McNamara in that he relies on pace and agility to find the back of the net from open play inside the box so we should ideally be giving him the ball in midfield and letting him get inside the box instead of crossing.
