Jesse Marsch is the new Leeds United manager. For better or worse, this was not a well kept secret. After a failed stint at Leipzig, Jesse will be aiming to rebound at Leeds. Do you think he'll do well? Do you think he'll keep Leeds from being relegated? Will he keep the job if they are?

Derek and Brett are joined with Max Bretos to discuss the final window of World Cup Qualifying for the USMNT. We also delve into the topic of whether there is a black list of journalists and content creators, whether the USMNT mainstream media are too soft and timid, and whether we'd get an actual answer from Gregg Berhalter if we did.

Josh Sargent is starting a new path in his career. While not being proficient in scoring at this point, Josh has found himself playing out wide or even in the middle for Norwich. Given his work ethic, skills, and technical knowledge to know where to be, Josh may in fact succeed. If relegated will Norwich continue to utilize him out wide or do we see him back up top.

USMNT will likely see him up top still with the opportunity of playing wide, but that first requires a callup.

Derek and Brett discuss recent quotes from Luca De La Torre, Eryk Williamson, and others. Talks about how the system is complicated and tough to learn for new players on their first couple windows. The system is successful at a club level when you have all the time in the world to go over things, but Gregg has 6-8 days at most with 3 of them consumed by games.

European leagues are often tempting for any professional soccer player, but are all leagues created equal? Derek and Brett talk about the influx of MLS based players transferring to lower level European leagues. These might be lateral or slightly higher moves, but are they worth it?

Toxic fandoms are all the rage today, and USMNT fandom is no different. Seriously though, the topic continues to show up. "USMNT Twitter is toxic" is displayed in my feed daily it seems, but is there any merit to the statement? Derek and Brett review a video from our friend Sam at YanksReport where he asked these questions to Former World Cup defender and friend of the show, Jimmy Conrad. What side of the coin are you and do you think you are toxic?

Does the USMNT player pool doubt Gregg's system? Derek and Brett look at the body language, lack of callups, interviews, and more to draw a conclusion. No player has out right said anything of the sort, but what isn't said is sometimes more convincing than what is.

Who is filling in USMNT depth chart currently? Derek and Brett look at each position and cover the top 5 options. In our list a player can only appear once so when you think that someone like Scally could be in LB and RB depth, note that he'll only show up in one list.
