Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3096302, member: 405"] Trapp was terrible. McKennie was pretty bad, too. Dest had a bad game, too. Zardes can't play against anyone decent. Is Altidore hurt again? The problem with this game is that Berhalter seems too stubborn. He's trying too hard to make them play a certain way, regardless of whether that's the right strategy at that moment in the game or not. You have to mix it up. Zardes isn't a target guy, but you have to play it into different places, to make the defense adjust. They just kept playing backwards, even when there was open grass in front of them. Speaking of failing to play it forward, how many damn times did McKennie get the ball within 10 yards of goal and look to knock it away from goal to somebody else? The damn goal is right there in front of you! Shoot it once in a while from INSIDE the box, not just from 30 yards away! That was truly awful. [/QUOTE]
