With shakey, aging and injury prone centerbacks, and young, inexperienced and marauding outside backs and a pair of inconsistent goalkeepers, the defense is garbage again. Lack of muscle in the middle and bite to complement Riqui’s adventures and in-doubt form of post-injury Gastón, the midfield is questionable. Upfront rebuild is not the only problem. Need at least 12 veteran signings to turn this ship around. Revisit how Arena fixed the mess he inherited. A bunch of experienced US national team players who knew how to fight for the colors did the trick.
