  1. That’s 2 good performances in a row from yedlin, if he can continue to hold down the starting rb job for the rest of the season and keep improving I don’t see why he cant challenge kyle walker at spurs next season. also think JK should just stick him back there and for the qualifiers next month. need to settle on a back 4. LB? Acosta, Payne, Shea, Ream, LCB Brooks, RCB Cameron for now then Miazga prolly next year and RB Yedlin. Need to get some time playing the same back 4.

  2. Yedlin was good. Deserved an assist. Wasn’t responsible for any chances against that I saw. He made a great run, looked off the defense towards Defoe’s far post run and cut it back perfectly to Rodwell. Good stuff. That’s all we care about.

      • Yeah…pretty funny to think that Brooks, Yedlin and Green (the youngest one – 20) are all young enough to be with the U23 Olympic team. Wood misses it by a few months.

      • The senior team always takes precedence. Brooks and Yedlin should be with the senior team. Green is a fourth division player that has no business being in either squad.

      • @Slowleftarm- Then who does deserve to be in the U23 team? Kieswetter has 1 goal in the 3rd division of Germany. Morris has played 1 match as a professional. CCV is a reserves U21 player. Zelalem’s been on the bench in the 2nd division of Scotland. Hyndman hasn’t seen the field in months. Miazga’s not going to see any playing time between now and then. I guess you can call in Pulisic?

        Truth is, I’m not sure how many guys are getting first team minutes. Even more so if Brooks and Yedlin aren’t there.
