United States First Half Analysis
HOWARDโMade a couple of routine saves, beaten once. Post saved him thenโleft exposed often though.
JOHNSONโGreat finish for his goal, but his run was most impressive. With the diamond it's imperative the full-backs get forwardย and defend well to good effectโJohnson has.
CAMERONโHas struggled with runners from deep, committed a needless foul and hasn't been dominant in any area so far.
BESLERโPushing high up, even into Turkey's half, to win the ball at times. Nearer his own box though, is constantly unable to keep up with Erdinc's runs.
CHANDLERโGets caught out of position rather too much and isn't having a huge impact offensively.
JONESโGreat at making blocks or putting in challenges, not so much at starting the passing from deep or following in runners from deep midfield. That has to change.
ZUSIโGood energy and keeping the ball moving well. Covering his channel well too.
DAVISโSimilar to Zusi off the ball, but not hugely involved in buildup play so far.
BRADLEYโHas been the stand-out so far, mixing some incisive passing with quick transitions after the ball is won. Could be more aggressive in 50-50sโpresumably that will change in the World Cup, not just before it.
ALTIDOREโEndless running, holding the ball up well, largely good link-up play. Needs that goal though.
DEMPSEYโGreat technique and movement in the final third. Both forwards working very hard.
United States Second Half Analysis
GUZANโMade two good saves, but could do nothing about the penalty. Took aerial balls well, catching or punching.
JOHNSONโDidn't surge forward as often after the break.
YEDLINโNervous on the ball at first but settled into the game.
CAMERONโThe more solid of the two starting centre-backs, made a few clearances in second half.
BROOKSโAn impressive performer after coming on at the break, though did use his pace rather than positioning to get out of trouble. A promising display.
CHANDLERโA very poor game overall. Drifted badly out of position when play was on the right side, caught in possession for the penalty. Match fitness presumably an issue, but doesn't have much time to put that right.
BECKERMANโNot as aggressive as he can be, seemed to do a lot of chasing without actually protecting the defence all that much.
ZUSIโThe best midfield starter, all told. Excellent and diligent with his defensive work, real quality on the ball too.
DAVISโIn and out of the game, looking impressive with link up play one moment and bypassed the next.
GREENโDidn't make too much of an impact. Would ideally play from further forward; the diamond role won't get the most out of his talents.
BRADLEYโFaded in the second half but still a good performance overall.
DEMPSEYโImpressive. Followed in a low cross well and was rewarded with a tap-in. Good link-up.
ALTIDOREโIn fairness a good performance all-round, working hard and running behind the defence into the channels. Sorely lacking inside the area though, in both confidence and finishing ability.
