The Soccer OG - Mauricio Pochettino & his first USMNT 🇺🇸 roster. What can we take away from it ?

The first Pochettino roster is out, why it feels like it wasn't exactly his decisions.
What will it mean for the 25 players on this camp?
Will this be the defining camp?
What positions are most in the crosshairs this October?
Breaking down what Poch said ahead of games with Panama and Mexico!!

To your point Marlon Fossey really plays with a lot of positive energy to the USMNT we need this! He is much faster than Joe scally. He is fast, strong, aggressive, and can dribble and make a variety of one-touch passes. Marlon Fossy starting right back!

I like Fossey as well, though I don't see him starting over Dest when he returns.

[@jonathonedwardmiller]

@@aflyer and Dest is really fast too

[@jonathonedwardmiller]

It better NOT be USSF bullying him into picking THEIR roster. I want Poch to mold this entire program in his image. From the seniors down to the youth. You can't put a Band-Aid on a gangrenous wound, you need to get urgent care. This program has a gangrenous wound and we need urgent care.

😂Euro snobs are so paranoid haha such disrespect for domestic league players

[@mrmr5580]

I'm sure Poch will have words with the likes of Matt Turner and Gio Reyna "guys, you need to go somewhere where you're going to get regular football"

😳🤔,With a lot of Injuries in the United States Teams, and without a deep rosters like other countries, this Roster is not a Shock to me 😳🤔

In our pool name a CB better than Tim, even at 37 you can’t max I’m sorry. But he’s easily our best. Next is Richards who was super poor in Copa and the friendlies in the lead up. Honestly USA soccer is wild for not bringing up Maloney to be our CB alongside ream. Yes he was a 6 last year for hiedenhiem but he played CB before that. Also , LDLT is hurt that’s why he’s out and he should be starting 6 alongside Weston in a 4231 with Malik at the ten. He had all the qualities of Jorginho and is a true tactician on an off the ball from a deep lying playmaking role. I don’t wanna hear the word destroyer bc that’s not what we need. Weston will be the roaming marauding midfielder. Luca will actually be one of my biggest winners as a result of poch coaching, and gio as well. Cheers

As much as this pains me to say… Ream needs to go, at least to the bench. Last roster spot kinda guy. As magnificent as he was in Qatar he was the opposite the past year. Find a partner with Richards (who I agree with you needs to play much better) . I like the idea of Maloney too, try McKenzie, Neal, trusty, idc at this point. Ccv really soured on me with the summer performances. Ldlt plays frenetic while Jorginho is about as calm as they come and also is a much better passer. If you aren’t that defensive minded midfielder in a double pivot I think we’d need guy pinging passes all over the place. We all know wes loves to roam and whoever would be next to him needs elite positional discipline.

He was asked about Diego Luna in Spanish. What did he say?

[@cubanhammer]

Said he was a guy they are tracking, but have not seen a whole lot of. Did sound like he is under consideration, but outside looking in.

[@aflyer]

@@cubanhammer Thanks. I hope Diego gets his shot soon. I think he can run with this team and I'd hate to lose him to Mexico.
