Iraola? Mena? Bravo? Hernandez? You are talking about a third choice left back. You can even play a back three and play Harrison as a wing back. I am sorry to disagree with you, but international slots shoudl be used for players who play a part whether starting or on the bench.

As you say Allen was caught flat footed. It does happen, even with the best when attacked with pace, however Brillant was already over there and should have had the nous to jockey him. Holding him up and pushing him wide. That is what defenders are taught to do. I would have Allen over Brillant all day long. He gives everything going both ways.
We can agree on Allen. He's been a great find for us. Not sure why he didn't start over Hernandez last night. We needed speed on Accam not size, seemed like the perfect night for Allen to get the start.
Well I would like us to go and get Accam next season. I believe he deserves to be in a better team.
Accam at $700k which is what I think he makes would be way more helpful than Mix sitting in the stands on $750K. It was rumored that Chicago went after Bedoya and may have even had a deal with him that fell through before we landed with Philly. Maybe they want a different USMNT player and they would be willing to swap Accam for him. I agree Accam deserves better. He played hard all game despite getting frustratingly poor service from his teammates over and over.
I agree with you, except for the keeper position. We can find a young backup on another MLS team, USL starter or college star that we can bring on and mold if they have to skills to play the ball at their feet.
We keep Iraola here till his legs fall off! The way he plays the position, he doesn't need extreme pace. It's his positioning and distribution skills from his footballing IQ that allow him to play so well for us.
I always think you can improve. Since Iraola went to midfield he has been excellent. I would be looking for a younger version.
Sure, let's find a younger version. But till we do, let the old geezer stick around a few more years

To be honest last season when he was being slaughtered at right back I wanted to see him in midfield. Kries never did move him. Since he has gone there he has been mostly excellent. I thought he looked tired the last couple of game though. Still he has been very good this season.
Holy crap, I came in here the day after we win 4-1 and almost certainly clinch a playoff spot and we want to get rid of the whole team.
I understand the concept of the salary cap. What you can't and can do within the salary cap I have no idea.
I just believe the one area where we ned to improve significantly is in the defence. I know it isn't easy, but to be top of the league with the worst defensive record shows we can be so much better with a couple of quality recruits in defence.
I'd rather get Matt Polster. Young up and coming defender. On the USMNT radar.
Well I am sure there will be players coming and going for next season. I would be happy to get a few young Americans in the squad so hopefully he is on our radar.
It's hardly radical thinking to say we need to get better on defense given the 53 we've conceded. The question is what will help us most.
Is it upgrading at CB? Maybe, but we really don't know how things will look with a healthy Chanot.
Is it better FBs? I doubt it.
Better defensive presence in midfield? Yes, but it's hard to get that along with the possession skills we need to run our system.
Better goalkeeping - I am not touching this one.

We need a French goalkeeper for that chemistry with our French backline.
Santi Cazorla is available on a free next summer.
