I think he knew we had to win the game, ie. at least be ahead by the 60th minute.  That is about all the guys could give.

Dest, Robinson, McKennie and Musah were all gassed by halftime.  Pulisic was not 100%.  Looked like Reyna wasn't either.

And there wasn't anybody on the bench who was going to come in and change the game.

So, I did not have a problem with going for it.

I think this is also where our inexperience showed.  As a team, we don't really have a good understanding of how to turn it on and off.  It seems we either go full throttle or bunker up.  We have the skill but not the tactical nous to turn it on and then throttle down.  That will come with age and experience as guys like Adams, McKennie, Musah mature (I hope).  You watch more experienced, high-quality sides, like the Dutch, they don't play at the same tempo all game long.  They throttle up and then throttle back depending upon gametime, score, situation etc...
