    Lol wut

    You can keep pretending that you have to have Kane, Lewy, Lukaku, etc up top to win games, but I’ll keep watching teams like Japan with their 5’8” strikers that barely score on their club teams keep generating scoring chances in the WC. Sargent scores in the prem. I don’t think he’s sniffed a ball in the 18. Tactics and coaching are the bigger issue here.

    I agree that Gregg doesn't maximize the talent that we have but our lack of a 9 would be an issue for any manager. It's easier to create chances for better strikers. That street goes both ways. 

    We could add Lewandowski to this team and we probably see the same results game to game. We don’t provide quality service into the box, so the target is immaterial. Regardless, I doubt GGG could gameplan around a quality striker even if asked to. We have no offensive identity. A good coach would generate more scoring out of this roster.

  3. The striker issue is just a symptom of the larger problem with GGG. We have #9s that  are scoring at the international level. It’s not a complete lack of ability at that position, we just don’t have the tactics to get them quality chances. We don’t have the tactics to consistently generate chances for anyone. Again. It’s not for lack of ability. We have wings and midfielders that generate quality chances at the international level. The difference is coaching. You can take GGG out of the MLS, but you can’t take the MLS out of GGG.  We are artificially limited as long as that bald bitch is haunting our bench.
