Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 3873859, member: 210"] My guess is he is doing exactly what the coach wants him to do. This generation of players is trained to be an extension of the manager on the pitch. If Adams had been playing, he would have provided a lot more coverage for Dest. The high press with Dest worked really well in the first half from an offensive perspective, but did lead to some easy chances for the Swiss. The problem isn’t Dest, the problem is the manager who doesn’t adjust his tactics to his opponents. We are not good enough at CB or DMID to play the way Berhalter wants to play against good teams. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem to realize that. I *think* we might be good enough to play like that against concacaf sides and win however... but it’s risky. One or two big mistakes per game and good bye World Cup. [/QUOTE]
