‘A positive performance’ 👏 REACTION to USMNT’s 4-1 win vs. Peru + Pochettino’s comments | ESPN FC

Key takeaways: <br>- Poch bringing on Jedi and Albert at the same time was not a coincidence. Clear sign of looking for life without Pulisic <br>- Kochen immediately looked like a 10+ year vet on the ball. Settled the back line immediately<br>- First Poch product Berhalter is going to fight for a starting spot soon <br>- Campbell looked good enough to test next to Richard’s <br>- Tyler Adams plays significantly better with that armband on. His distribution game is also looking so much better. Imo he shines in a 3 in the mid<br>- Mehmetj looked really comfortable on the ball immediately. Would love to see how he looks against Mexico. <br><br>The not so good: <br>- I’m not a fan of switching formations consistently. Disrupts fluidity. We played our best with a back 3. <br>- Musah struggled badly to get into the game <br>- I didn’t see enough hustle from Sullivan. Tillman and Musah consistently needed to cover for him on the right side <br>- I don’t see it with Trusty. Struggles to play out of the back, and I don’t see enough of a defensive presence with him to make the midfield feel settled <br><br>Against Mexico: <br>I think we saw enough to try one actual starting 11. <br>Kochen<br>Freeman - Richards - Campbell <br>Dest - Adams - Mehmeti - Jedi<br>Tillman - Albert <br>Ellis
