Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4147679, member: 405"] I think Brooks made a couple bad errors in his last appearance, 2 windows ago. Richards is not a better player than even an inconsistent John Brooks. Miles Robinson and Antonee Robinson combine better on the left of the defense. I'm pretty comfortable with Walker Zimmerman over Miazga. He, Brooks, Miles Robinson and Aaron Long would be a pretty formidable group of center backs. I don't think Berhalter can just write off Brooks to make a point, because Brooks is probably our best guy in the air on set pieces. I like Miles at LCB over Mark McKenzie or Richards. I'm hopeful that Aaron Long can get back to health by the final qualifying window, to see whether he can be a contributor in Qatar. I agree that NBC does a better job, but part of that might be that English stadiums have higher roofs / gantry than a lot of US soccer-only facilities, which have maybe half the capacity as those in England.
