After cooling off and avoiding thread and post game analysis
The two most frustrating for me were
not protecting your midfield either with formation or tactics. Gregg already showed we don’t have to play 4-3-3. We don’t have a 9 and our midfield was on complete fumes at min 70 against Iran. My wife, whose understanding of soccer consists of watching our kids and two seasons of Ted Lasso, would have come off looking like Nate Shelley yesterday.
and the personnel decisions. This obviously includes the initial selection, but Christian needed to come off at half. I understand giving him a go, but he was so obviously not fit. I’ll even give Gregg a pass on grasping at straws with Jesus and then going back to Haji. But the fact that Jordan Morris played in game of any consequence of the World Cup where we were within 8 goals of taking or giving up the lead - should have resulted in immediate dismissal following the whistle. If Luca is too hurt, I would have rather brought on CCV and parked Zimmerman in the box to knock down balls and maybe challenge VanDijk.
Of course, besides tactics and personnel decisions - I’m not sure what other responsibilities fall under the managers purview.
