Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5531495, member: 405"] I thought that was a pretty satisfying win against Australia tonight. Sucks that Pulisic got hurt on that clip of his heel. Afterwards Poch said it was his hamstring. Seemed a bit weird to me the way he took himself out of the game, personally. Bit of a pissy attitude about coming off. It wasn't even the docs or the manager, it seemed like Christian just decided he was done. Haji Wright started slowly, but was gangbusters with 2 goals in a man of the match performance. We have at least 2 legit number 9's now, it appears. Diego Luna was great once he came on for Pulisic. He wins lots of balls back, creates lots of great passes, always circulating for the ball. I thought Sands was weak. Roldan started slowly but got much better as the game went on. Tessman is a solid guy, had a good cameo in the 2nd half. Freeman with a solid game, provided physical presence against a rough housing Australia team. I thought our back 3 started out timid in the first 20 minutes or so, and none of them committed to defending the player dribbling into the box, leading to that first goal. Three guys were just looking at each other. I thought the rough play actually got our back line into the game. They played better after some dirty fouls. They seemed to be talking a lot to each other, too, especially in the 2nd half. Weah was very good tonight. He and Pulisic had some nice combinations in the first 20 minutes, and he had some nice take-ons from the left wing. McKennie had another very good game. His fitness is excellent. He was all over the middle of the field. I feel like we missed Ream because he's more of a coach in the back, and these other guys were just too polite with each other early. I felt like Richards stepped up later on and was barking at some guys. so that's good. I thought McKenzie was not great on the left side of the back three. I thought that Robinson was better on the right side. Interesting to see if Antonee Robinson and Sergino Dest can be healthy for the next window. For me, Freese is the goalkeeper now. He's been much more confident for me than Matt Turner. [/QUOTE]
