I haven't watched the game yet but from everything I hear it's not going to be pretty when I get home.
A coach has to do a couple things well:
1. putting the best 11 on the field.
- Hes not doing that. Kljestan, Dempsey, Beasley have no preformed well in ages. They aren't playing because they're in good form, they're playing because Bob Bradley has ties to all of them and US players in general. They grew up in front of him. They are friends with his son. If he doesn't play them he's going to hurt feelings. He's a pussy.
Torres, Adu, Davies on the bench??? These are the guys he subs once in a blue moon and completely change the game around. Why not give them bigger rolls on the team. They have the flash, confidence and skill that we need. Connor Casey... are you kidding me. Play Davies who's fast as fuck, and can control the ball a bit. Kenny cooper who not only can control the ball but can finish and is built like a fucking truck.
I want a new coach to come in and clean house. No ties to youth players turned pros. The best players play and that's it. Michael Bradley sucked for the first 10 games he played but he played because that's his son. Who else has that luxury?
2. Lighting a fire under the players asses.
- Ex. You have a player get a red card? Yell at him. Yell at the team. Wake them the fuck up. Show some passion. These aren't throwaway games. You're in a international tournament. The world is watching. Show some damn pride and passion. This guy has been experimenting with line ups and positions since hes got here and hes doing the same thing every other shitty coach we've had has done: just get by. Not impress or preform but barely do enough to be mediocre. I'm tired of that. If you aren't going to take a tournament seriously then don't go. Don't waste my time.
3. Make tactical changes
- His subs are laughable. They make little to no sense and they don't preform.
4. Identify weakness and fix them.
- weakness: pass back every 2 seconds, never face a defender and take them on, no passion, no style, no confidence, no creativity. Has he done anything to fix this?
Jozy built like a brick wall and control like one too. Any ball that comes to him bounces away like 10 feet. Why wouldn't you work hard on fixing that? You're formation relies on a lone striker but he That guy would be unstoppable if he could kill a ball in the air, turn and take a defender.
Bob Bradley isn't excelling in anything. Why is he still here. We need a foreign coach. No ties to US soccer and youth players so he has no obligation top them, can make tough decisions and do what best for the team. Fire him, get someone that isn't going to stand around a game like a goon while your team is getting embarrassed.
End rant. Back to work
