Morris doesn’t look as good as his stats, he should’ve picked Canada great video btw but you didn’t tell us if you’d play two of these together under any formation? Especially with talks of a 3 at the back
Awesome content guys. Keep it up. I would love a close up look a the MLS academy stock. And stop shitting on the buckster. Mark my words, he may not be part of the wc26 team, but, wc30 is happening for the antlered one. His secret weapon? He has a heavy ass, He can knock big dudes off the ball, seen him do it many times. Those skills ain't learned, they just are. Buck 30.
I don’t think you ever had a better video and funnily enough you got ripped off for this series, Tactical Manager TV started posting the same series after you started haha, solid work guys keep it up
For me it’s:
1 Johnny
2 Adams
3 Maloney and Tessman tied because you both brought up good points and Maloney is too one dimensional, these numbers prove it ever since you started hyping up Tessman I’ve seen videos of him and he looks class so maybe you’re right and he’s only one season away from everyone recognizing him but I doubt Venezia would release why, why would they even think of doing that? That’s when 5 Atencio and 6 Edelman come into the picture since I think mls wouldn’t oppose having youngsters in the olympics. Morris just gets carried by a great crew side, fake stats
Acosta deserves to be higher than Maloney tessmann and these other bums who never did anything for the NT, he carried us to a gold cup win and was crucial for us to not get grouped, stats lie, it ain’t that deep Philly boy
lol you guys hype this Johnny dude like he ain’t just got started and la liga isn’t that much better than mls, there are only three teams in that league
If Tyler comes back in the form he was in prior to injury, he's def our number 1, especially for tournaments like Copa America. Right now, thats a big IF unfortunately. We need that edge he brings, and brought for an entire prem season. I hope he doesn't rush and comes back the same man. Tessman is 3 for me, but I think like Yuri said, he needs a little more top level exposure, so he slides by the wayside to guys like Maloney in the mind of Gregg. Great video!
Continuem firme meninos, canal crescendo, vai ser gigante ❤
Heres my top 10, if we are doing 1 position per player:
1. Johnny Cardoso
2. Tyler Adams
3. Lennard Maloney
4. Tanner Tessman
5. Kellyn Acosta
6. Aidan Morris
7. Josh Atencio
8. James Sands
9. Daniel Edelman
10. Dante Polvara
Admittedly, I haven't watched any Daniel Edelman games outside of the U-20 games but the games I did watch him he did not look good. I also haven't watched a lot of James Sands, but the times I did I thought he looked fine. I see a lot of people rating Aidan Morris very highly, but everytime I watched him he looked slow and didn't pass the eye test imo.
Well, Braden, one thing that you didn't take into consideration about Johnny that should take him over the top:
His 'stache game is A+
Are you copying 🤔 tactical manager 🤔 😳
Aidan Morris is awful idk how he has those stats. I’d have Tyler as the starter, a dude who barely came into the picture can’t be a mainstay right away. Tessman is better than Maloney and atencio is better than aidan.
Johnny 1, Adams 2 until he returns to form and can show that he is still close to the same player that was a leader and major contributor to the MNT program.
Great video… might be the best one yet. A+ analysis. Right NOW, have to have Johnny as #1. Tyler has been away from the pitch much too long and Johnny is on 🔥 right now.
The only player in the world that can stop Lionel Messi is Tyler Adam
