I thought he did well. We was running off the ball quite a bit and dropping much deeper. In a game that has had little fluidity to it, he was fine

Miles Robinson is so damn good.

He was anonymous for 75_80% of the time he was on the field. He doesn't work at all when the other team has the ball. He doesn't run hard. I'm shocked anyone thinks that was a good performance from him.

I love his skills. But he had something to prove to his team in these 2 games. I don't think he did that.

Lol at thinking he should hit that first time

I think you will find not many people share that opinion when review of the game go out.
It seems more like you have an preconceived notion of Reyna coming into the game and saw what you wanted to see this game. No hate, just how it reads to me

They should have about 4 yellow cards by now

Absolutely not. I am a big fan of Reyna. I'm legitimately shocked people think that was good.

What I don't like is laziness. He has a bad habit of being very lazy.

Almost an amazing goal, great effort from Booth to create the chance and a crazy first touch from Pepi

Didn't look lazy to me today is what I'm saying

Booth and Pepi having really good nights.

Booth is going to be a solid option for us this next cycle. Good awareness, solid service.

Why are we so bad at taking corners?

CP10 takes too many of them and his service from set pieces is just not good.

I think he's lacking athletically a bit at this level and it gives off the appearance he isn't trying. He's so skilled though it doesn't matter

Gio was fine. I'd give him a 6/10. He's not ever going to track back on defense or look like people want him to look out there. He was good in the attack at times and the whole team was pretty disjointed through the first half. I might be imagining it, but it doesn't look like he's gelling with CP and Weston and other key figures on the team. Who knows. Might just be rusty still.

A tale of two halves for sure. Not a great performance overall.

Of note, we cap tied 2/3 of the players we could have this camp (Sonora didn't play as far as I can tell).

Turner doing a gender reveal. Ok I hate I'm now. Horvath is the number 1 keeper.

Pretty sure they did it several months back.

Shut up Beasley. You were at City on a loan for a year back when they sucked. You can't claim them

Meantime, ride or die with Pepi. Let him grow over the next few years and we may have something special you could tell from his teammates too, they looked for him the entire time he was in. They know what's there.

And was CP drunk tonight? Dude was like a weekend rec league guy on a lot of those touches, especially in the first half.

I wish we'd taken Pepi to Qatar, but I kinda could see why he got left. He went 11 months without scoring for club or country leading up to the World Cup. Even though he got hot in October, GGG had probably already made his decision at that point.

Pulsic went from one of his best nights in the RWB to one of his first.

First half was miserable for the entire team. Something was missing.

Played better second half.

Ok. That was weird. My dvr cut off in the 90th minute. That's so old school.

Huh.

Doesnt seem to lack athletically in the bundesliga or champions league. He's not out there sprinting at 110% like Aaronson, but he covers a lot of ground with his stride and he is smooth with the ball

Athletic is the wrong word. He doesn't have some of the quick twitch that a lot of these attackers have

Gio seems to be at his best when he is running at defenses especially in the area between the center circle and penalty box. For him to be successful on the NT, I think he may need to play a little further back and with a forward in front of him that stretches the back line opening up space.
