At this point, I'm really not understanding why Rose Lavelle isn't starting. She's a game changer. I know she's on a minutes restriction, but I'd rather her help get us off to a good start than playing from behind. If we're not going to start with her, than we should start out with another defender so we can get Ertz back into the midfield full-time. We can't maintain possession against a solid midfield - you can get away with that against teams like Vietnam, but the Netherlands showed that's a red flag.
Vlatko only using 1 sub in last night's game is a head scratcher and his answers about why in the postgame were nonsense. Lynn Williams hasn't seen any playing time through 2 games. She's traditionally dominated the Netherlands but she can't get any time in a game we need energy in? It's like he forgot how to coach once he got the national job, not that he was great at club level but he was better than this. The 2019 team was so talented we won despite his mistakes, I don't know if that's the case this time around. Too many key injuries.
