Its disappointing to find that Taylor Twellman is listed as an alternate in the US Soccer team. What more do you have to do to get in?
2005 saw Twellman back to his old form, as he won both the Major League Soccer MVP Award and MLS Golden Boot, finishing the regular season with 17 goals. He was also named to the MLS Best XI, as he was in 2002.
He is 26 years, not exactly a spring chicken. If Twellman is described as a predatory goal scorer then why would you not want him in the team??? Predatory is not just good, its excellent.
Bruce Arena is to blame for the 3-0 loss to the czech Republic
the loss of defenders
Cory Gibb and Frankie Hejduk hurt the team
but to Leave Taylor Twellman off the club in favor of some of these other questionable choices
I would have played a 3-4-3 alignment
with Donovan on one side
Mcbride in the middle
and Twellman on the right
Plus you do not let that big good Jan Kollar get the ball period.
I did not like the teams effort against the Czech Republic and I blame Arena
and his stupidity. You need goals and Twellman scores them
Too bad Reyna's Rocket hit the post
But No doubt Twellman deserved to be on the team
I agree, Twellman should be on the team. Arena is following the old adage keep your prima donna happy, i.e. Donovan and don't bring any creativity to the team.
