USMNT Needs Newbies Not A New Coach: Part 1

A headache is the best way I can describe the aftermath of calls for a USMNT coaching change. Boss Jürgen Klinsmann has helped lead the US out of a dark period and has given our nation a reason to believe in the future. 

However, it seems he may need to start giving even younger players a chance if he is to enter the 2018 World Cup with hopes of making it the most successful ever.  Our new weekly article USMNT Needs Newbies Not A New Coach, will highlight some of the best American talent that could help bring them to the promise land.  


Joshua Gatt - 23 - Winger 





















The speedy winger has enjoyed a successful but injury filled stay at Molde FK of the Tippeligaen. His time for the club has seen him feature in 68 matches scoring 8 goals and tallying 12 assists.  Gatt is a player who could mirror the already established DeAndre Yedlin, yet, without having to convert positions.  Gatt has been a player on our radar since his move to the club in 2011 from Rheindorf Altach.

Gatt has featured for the USMNT twice as well as being a part at the U20 and U23 level.
   


Demballi "Boxi" Yomba -  18 - Forward




Yomba broke into the US U-20 squad by scoring goals in his first two matches, with his first coming against Ireland.  The forward plays for Spanish club Athletic Madrid, as a part of the U-19 and U-20 sides.  Yomba is an exciting player summarized best as a versatile forward, who can feature as a winger or a center forward.  If he continues to progress in Europe, he will make a strong case for a call up to the USMNT senior side.

Round 1 EPL - Monday's Fixture - Pitch-360's Game of the Week

Manchester United v Everton FC - Old Trafford - * GAME OF THE WEEK* Manchester United - With Robin Van Persie jumping into the starting 11 along side Wayne Rooney, goals should be aplenty.  The two combined to score 57 goals last year which is almost half as many United tallied all of last year.  Ferguson will also look to the other major addition of the summer, Borussia Dortmund ace Shinji Kagawa, to have an instant impact.  However, the reoccurring problem of the health of the defense seems to have come up again.  Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Johnny Evans all have picked up knocks and are reported to miss the match as well as Darren Fletcher.  This coupled with the rumors of winger Nani possibly moving on before the transfer window closes could see him start on the bench along side youngster Nick Powell.  Even with these set backs, the depth of Fergie's side shows why they are favorites to claim yet another EPL title.
