Robinson has been pretty awful tonight. He has a looooong way to go defensively.

Tough ask for him again, but yeah. Exposed multiple times.

The US just cannot get anywhere near James and he's made them pay. What a player.

Keane would be the fastest USMNT defender

Yedlin is to Speedy Gonzales as Keane is to Slowpoke Rodriguez.

The match at Wembley next month, do you think a new manager will be in place by then? Actually quite looking forward to that game, I enjoy when we play against other English speaking countries like the US, Australia or one of the home nations. Gives it a bit more edge because the players on the pitch will always have verbal spars.

Don't really care if the manager is in place. It's going to be Berhalter or Vermes or Marsch.

It looks like they've decided to wait until the MLS season ends for whichever coach it is they want to hire. So it'll depend but if it is Berhalter it looks very unlikely.

Weah had a good game and that assist from him was magnificent. Thought it was bonkers to take him off when we did. Sargent also showed a lot of potential.

Disappointing not to get at least a draw.

As one of Bradley's biggest critics I thought he did a decent job wearing the armband last night. Lots of silly giveaways in our midfield.Just thankful Miazga didn't absolutely smash in that own goal.

He didn't run hard enough to cover the gap when Falcao scored. Inexcusable really. Even if Bradley plays well in these friendlies it still makes no sense to play him because he is going to be 35 in 2022.

Oh absolutely. Should not be anywhere near the ball (not that that's a concern when he's on the pitch anyway.)

To play devil's advocate though we do have other competitions coming up between now and 2022, and he will probably be part of those squads.

I'd be willing to sacrifice results in those competitions for a better chance at World Cup success
