bullets13 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 I don't like the starting lineup for the US. Can we PLEASE stop playing Ching? He's terrible!
Bon_Mot Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Couldn't disagree more. What about Ching don't you like, and who do you want to put in his place? What else about the line-up is bad?
bullets13 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Posted April 1, 2009 Ching has had a fairly good game, i'll give him that, but i'd much rather have someone up top with Jozy who can create a little more, either with speed (landycakes), or footskill (dempsey). ching has always reminded me of a much less talented mcbride. i don't care for Mastroeni's style of play, and i'd rather not see hejduk in the starting lineup. i'd also rather have beasley in a wing role where he can create more, although i understand why he's playing left back for this game.
bullets13 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Posted April 1, 2009 Jozy with both goals tonight. USA leads 2-0 with 10 minutes left.
bullets13 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Posted April 1, 2009 Keeper blew a save and jozy got his hat trick. a very solid performance for the US tonight. this game could be 5-0 tonight.
Lazeek Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 What's the score??? I go 3 goals or more in Streak for the Cash!!!!!
bullets13 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Posted April 1, 2009 they got a kind of lucky goal at the end to save your and my streak. i'm at 2 now. you?
Lazeek Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 Just 1 win baby!!!!!! 1-0....undefeated!!!!!!!

Valid points points but... Remember that neither Donovan nor Dempsey enjoy playing forward unless it's a withdrawn one, and I don't think Jozy can handle being the target forward/distributer and doing the dirty work as well as someone like...oh I don't know... CHING! AND if you take one of them out of the midfield, who do you replace him with? We're not loaded with quality flank players. And to say that Ching reminds you of a much less talented McBride. Is that a shot or a compliment? I'll take a "much less talented version" of the greatest forward the US has EVER PRODUCED... What do you not like about Maestro's play at Destroyer? His crunching tackles or tenacious battle for every 50/50 ball? Frankie has had two solid games - including a goal and an assist in El Salvador. Once again, who do you want in his place? Dolo is hurt. Dude, I dislike The Bob and Sunil as much as the next guy on BigSoccer, but it's all about the best 11 not the 11 best. Bottom line, in my opinion, is we gotta do better on the road if we don't want to go 3 and out in South Africa next Summer.
bullets13 Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Posted April 1, 2009 you make valid points as well. as for replacing one of those two in the midfield, i really like what kliestjan has done when he's played.
RonBurgundy68 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 The thing I love about having Ching up front, is all the work he does off the ball, drawing defenders away to give that space to Jozy and others... Also he is so strong in the box, I dare anybody to try shoving him off the ball, it won't happen, guarantee it... WAY better than Eddie Johnson... Frankie is the HARDEST working player I've personally ever seen... Fearless and speedy, I think he is the best right back we've had in a while... Love watching him play... Hustles the ENTIRE game and NEVER gives up... Landon played a pretty decent game, feeding Jozy on all 3 goals, even though he could've easily scored that last one, but chose to be unselfish... In South Africa he's gunna have to learn to be selfish though if we want any chance...
RonBurgundy68 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 you make valid points as well. as for replacing one of those two in the midfield, i really like what kliestjan has done when he's played. I like Klestjan too, VERY talented and just starting to develop... Torres came in and played pretty good too...

wasone03 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 or forward version. they move him around so much i can hardly keep up
