Exactly. He didn't mark his man and, while struggling to get back, created the space for Gerrard to get through. He doesn't have the head for big games like this.
They have to wake up. Everything is a second or 2 too slow. The touches are off. I'm not sure Donovan has made a good first touch yet. If it weren't for Dempsey, we wouldn't have any offense. He needs to keep holding and creating. Bradley needs to get more involved and make quicker decisions. Ghana does very well to close the center of the defense FAST. Those 1st balls have to go to the outside and spread them out. Clark was a huge blunder by Bradley. He hasn't played well in some time and Edu has done nothing to deserve the bench. Now we're down to 2 subs and down a goal. Have to start with the same 11 and not panic, yet. I'd expect Buddle to get warm in the first 10-15 minutes, especially if Findley continues to be useless. Who cares if he has that speed if he's got no touch and can't finish? Besides, he's no faster than any of the Ghanaian players out there. Is this not a game where Holden would be very useful? I say bring him in for Findley, let Dempsey move forward more and have Holden stay wide and serve crosses.
OK, I can live with that change because Benny is playing well and can hold the ball with Dempsey moving forward.
if its not broken don't fix it.. The two players Bradley thought would help Findley and Clark are gone and all of a sudden we are doing good things..
