Not just the touch, the movements
Definitely skillful in running through a defense... which is the biggest thing Sargent struggles with imo.

Do you think that he has other bigger deficiencies or that he's fine at making attacking runs?
Not every run, but I've seen Sargent make really good empty runs.jeffk said:

He's also made poor runs.
It's something to still improve on, but when you actually watch Bremen games (which is a rough experience) he mostly has very good off the ball movement.jeffk said:

I also disagreed that Hoppe is better at it, given we basically just have 3 clips to watch of him. His team also showed more willingness to feed him in one game than Bremen's midfielders have showed since Josh was signed there.
Either way, we need more and more players to keep stepping up and improving at every position. We want to get to a point where no player has a spot locked up.
Any reason why Weston isn't even on the bench today? I think that's one of the first times all season he's not even a potential sub.
Nevermind, just saw that he tweaked a muscle last match.
Quite the stir on tweeter when he was pulled in the 18th minute.Legal Custodian said:

Meant to respond sooner but got busy and forget. I've watched a handful of WB games this season and yeah, it's definitely rough. I think Josh can make good runs, but I just don't see him do it consistently at either the club or NT level. With WB, it might be due to frustration and I certainly would understand that. In my mind, that's the biggest thing he has to improve on if he wants to be a difference-maker for the NT.
It actually may be the perfect scenario for him. He can get experience in England and help them earn a promotion. Next season he'll be in the premier league.
Reminds me of when Quentin Barnes signed with Ionath when they were 2nd division. 3 years later they won it all.

I wouldn't go to a championship team if I was Morris.Look guys... said:

They're in 2nd now and he can add scoring to them. It's a great way to break in and then get in the EPL.
Classic
Oh man. Landon at the water fountain was such a gift lol
Having ready more of the discussion around it, this seems like as good a match as any. I'd prefer a mid to low EPL team, just for the level of play, but Swansea seems to have shown exactly how they plan to use him and he likes what he saw. I also read that their coach talked with Berhalter, which is a nice show interest.Look guys... said:PatAg said:I wouldn't go to a championship team if I was Morris.Look guys... said:

Would definitely prefer to go to a Championship side you can feature on with a real chance of promotion over an EPL club that might just leave you to rot on the bench if you dont perform immediately.
He will never live this down!
Hoppe scores again. 5 goals in 3 games for Schalke

el fuego.
Morris left camp today for an unspecified reason. Speculation is that he's on his way to join a club in Europe.

I'm starting to feel like Berhalter's strengths might play more to recruiting/player management than gameday coaching and strategy.
You'd think that would be Ernie Stewart managing all that stuff.fig96 said:

It should be mentioned that most successful gameday coaches often are those that best plan ahead both player management and strategyfig96 said:

100%, but my point is more than Berhalter seems to be much better at one than the other.tysker said:It should be mentioned that most successful gameday coaches often are those that best plan ahead both player management and strategyfig96 said:

His recruiting overall has been outstanding, especially in landing some really highly regarded dual nationals.
I really expected that too, especially given his European experience, but he's been pretty MIA outside of the coaching hire. I'd assume there's more behind the scenes stuff going on than we realize though.Look guys... said:You'd think that would be Ernie Stewart managing all that stuff.fig96 said:

I actually thought the same thing you did in response to my question. Maybe Ernie is pulling the strings behind the scenes and allowing Berholter to be the face of US soccer.
