Whoever wrote that article apparently doesn’t watch the USMNT. Weston is great on D… the problem is going the other way. Weston reminds me a lot of Dele Alli from his Tottenham heyday. Weston is physical, athletics, scores clutch goals without being a goal scorer and loves to carry the ball but doesn’t have the killer pass in him… yet. The problem with Weston is he’s not as good a dmid as Adams or Acosta for that matter so he can’t shield the D, but he’s also not as good going forward was Musah, Reyna or Aaronson. So while he’s one if of our best players his positional fit isn’t quite right.

One main issue with Weston is that he and Pulisic don’t seem to combine well together because both love to dominate the ball and dribble into corners. Now add Dest to the mix and you have three players who love to dominate the ball. Now add Gio to the mix and you have four. Typically when you have these types of players you build the team to make runs off of their on ball play… but when you have 4 dudes who all want to dominate the ball you get we see when all 4 play together, a team of individuals who don’t mix well together. Who is making the runs off the ball vs going back to get the ball?
