Xenophobia (noun): fear or hatred of strangers or foreigners

That is probably 85-90% why you see some yedlin hate here(y)
I'm Australian. I think Yedlin has the tools, but I don't think he's intelligent enough to really keep his teammates involved...

Comment on Wimmer was only because I feel like the defensive line has really suffered without JV and Toby.

None of them Americans. Dempsey was also irrationally hated by many.
I didn't like Dempsey because I thought he ruined our structure, especially post VDV.

Meanwhile, we did have another American recently who was never hated.

And a big Canadian, who became the love of our lives.

As soon as Kane came off, all our attacking threat went, just shows why we need 2 strikers/WFs...

The reason dempsey was disliked (not by me) was that he came in for vdv. He came up short in comparrisson.
We might have a bit of banter with americsns but we don't hate them.

MLS' second goal was created by two unintentional touches.

Should still score more than 1 against that level of talent.

Despite that, promising signs for what feels like our first "real" preseason match.

Good performance overall, and promising showings from almost all of the youngsters/new players. Definitely deserved to win, but it doesn't really matter. We still have defensive problems, and this game further highlighted the need for a DM IMO.

MOTM First Half- Kane/Dembele

MOTM Second Half- Trippier

The "All-stars" were gifted that win but who cares, it's a pre-season friendly.

Dele Alli was impressive, so was Wimmer and Trippier.

Yedlin looked like shit, sorry, but he did fuck all.

There isnt some anti-american agenda here ffs.
No there very much is. Mostly because of the fact that the US is a new market being expanded into by the club so everyone will automatically scream marketing signing and be overly critical of that player. Being masked because, to be fair, Yedlin isnt some great first team player. But he doesnt deserve much of the criticism he gets. He needs time. He's a young player and improving in the little amount of time he's been at the club.

I like the drive Alli brings to the midfield and Trippier has made a difference already, everyone expects a good delivery.

Great run out, with plenty of positives. Surprised by the intensity of the MLS team. Wouldn't pay too much attention to the score. Time for bed.
