Message: [QUOTE="OrangeFoo, post: 4013348, member: 210"] The problem is that if both Reyna and Pulisic are going to cut in, they will drag the defenders in with them and congest the middle of the pitch. This makes it a lot easier on the D because it's less space with more defenders and if a turnover happens it's pretty easy to get into a 3 v 2 situation on the other end. When the US played well this last set of three matches, they uses true wingers on the touchlines to create some width which has given Musah, Aaronson, Pepe room to operate in the middle and Dest the room to cut inside. All of that goes away with Pulisic and Reyna on the wings. It may be a moot point as both Pulisic and Reyna seem to have longer term injuries than originally imagined. Read today that Pulisic is still in pain from his injury over a month ago and I haven't heard a thing about Reyna but he's still not back either. [/QUOTE]
