No the answer is no
I cant stant Seb, he's so annoying…he's the Faitelson of ESPNFC..
Your striker needs to score goals, period. A CF like Josh Sargent works when there are elite scoring wingers alongside him to link up with and the goal scoring responsibility isn't on him. Reyna isn't quite there yet and Pulisic is in and out of the line-up often so we need a goal scoring 9.
No. hes not good enough for the Championship or even Serie B for that matter. USA isnt getting goals with him
No
Daryl Dike is the best 9
Sargent is useless. “Big name player” but doesn’t get goals or assists. Dike, Pefok, Aaronson all do better than him
what is the name of the host? I would like to follow him.

Sargent isn’t the answer , Pepi should be given a shot, or move Aaronson to the 9 spot. Berhalter needs to go, his player selection is poor at best, and his game management is atrocious period. He needs to be fired! Bringing in Yuell, who has proven he can’t compete at this level is just not defendable, even by the most ardent USMNT fluffers. Berhalter lost the team, and I think players are refusing call ups now, it’s the only reason he brought in Yuell.
when all you do is dump it forward, it is tough to look good.
Ricardo Pepi has to be given a chance!!
using the word red hot to describe any US player right now tells you this is fake news
Hoppe and pepi need to be given a chance
You can have Lukaku as our forward. But if you don’t get him the ball in dangerous positions he will never score.
Josh Sargent? You've got to be fkn kidding me?! Bobby Wood was WAY better and more complete as a point 9 striker and even then B.W wasn't that great, so that's say a lot!
No.
After the Honduras game is it not clear that Pepi deserves to be the front runner? I don't think we have had a striker look that good
NO!!! His runs are poor and he over-thinks the game.
Yes Pefok has been hot for club, but in his appearances for the US, he hasn’t looked any better than Josh has. It always seems to me like he’s a bit of a pillar; he’s static and the ball just kinda bounces off of him. Josh Sargent hasn’t been lights out, but Pefok isn’t necessarily the answer either. Not that he can’t be, but just that he hasn’t yet
Ricardo Pipe by a mile!
Hoppe is solid.
Short answer is NO. The dude sucks.
