He's definitely stretching their defense and giving us another dimension, but he's paying for it. I've seen him get knocked on his ass at least twice now.
CONCACAF refereeing is a joke, players are going to start getting hurt.

Good run and heads up play from Yedlin

I assume he will be joining up with the Squad in Denver?
Has there been any updates on Yedlin so far, a loan move? Any U21 games?

Hmmm. Let me think.
Sell him at the end of next season for a £3m profit?

Watching 2nd half of USA vs Peru. Yedlin providing his normal dimension : Pace. The build-up to the 2nd goal involved playing the ball deep into the corner and having Yedlin out-run the defender to the ball. One thing he does well when he gets the ball deep is look for shooters at the top of the box. I just hope Advocaat can broaden his skills beyond just chasing the ball.
Thought he was very lively tonight. There's no ball he can't get to. As long as he keeps making his runs behind defenders, he can be a useful sub for us in the future.
True. But his Pace is a blessing & a curse. A blessing that he can outrun other players. A curse in that he may not develop other skills , like man defending, dribbling skills and close-quarter passing ability.
Yedlin vs Marcelo. Should be a great test for the young Spur.
I like the analysis on the TV re: Yedlin. He is good facing the play, but not with the play behind him.
He is best as an attacker when the play is in front of him and he can use his pace to chase down the ball.
Also good with defending in front of him. He defended Marcelo when he could face him.
He has already had 2 good passes for shots on goal when he is facing the goal. He has been the only positive for the US on Offense.
His problem on D is runs behind him. Tonight has less D responsibility, with Cameron behind him at RB.
And on attack, with his back-to-attack, when he has to come back to the ball, he does not have options, has some poor touches, and can be wasteful with his passes.

The only thing USA had vs Brazil was Yedlin's pace. He looked like the only USA player who deserved to be on the same pitch. Not enough. And Yedlin needs to add a SHOT to his attacking weaponry.
he gave the ball up too much with bad passes and/or not knowing what to do with it at times. His attempted tackle on Neymar for Brazil's 4th was just bad. Really don't think he looked all that deserving.
At work, so I can't watch the match, just saw the scoreline is 4-0 at half. Was he at fault during any of those 4?
