No U.S. player has appeared in each of the 12 qualifiers so far. Winger Brenden Aaronson was on his way until suffering a knee injury last weekend. Midfielders Tyler Adams and Kellyn Acosta and left back Antonee Robinson are the only other U.S. men to hit double digits. Despite the frequent turnover, the U.S. has done enough to stay in second behind surprising Canada. And Berhalter has done enough during his tenure to ensure there’s seasoning spread throughout the squad.
“It’s also given the coaching staff conference that we can call on a guy like Shaq at the last minute and be completely comfortable with how he’s going to perform in a game,” Berhalter said.The fitness of Adams, midfielder Yunus Musah, winger Christian Pulisic and winger Gio Reyna will go a long way toward determining the rest of Berhalter’s Orlando lineup. Winger’s suspension and the continuing issues up top represent problems to solve as well .
“We’ve giving it some thought and we haven’t come up with much to be honest,” Berhalter said, adding that three of the four instances were played away. “Overall l’m not sure it’s a big enough sample size to really make a judgment on it. And what we’re doing is acknowledging it. I think it’s a challenge for the group.”
“I preached to the team about just one game at a time, sticking to the process, doing the small things—doing the process-orientated things—and the results will come,” Berhalter said.
