Tyler Adams

I think that's where he's comfortable.

And alongside Tyler Adams.

He's a USA international?

Yes, he is.

Obviously, they had Amari Hutchinson on loan from Forrest.

And they had... they'd loft his cheek up there as well Goncalo Ramos was was injured so he wasn't involved and maybe that was a bit of a miss for them but they they weren't really they didn't create anything it's another game where Michel Di Gregorio who started in goal um once again had nothing to do I couldn't tell you a lot about poor Michel in his first two games because he's he has had nothing to do bless him um so we'll see maybe on Wednesday whether he gets a chance to actually be tested but um yeah nothing going and then what that corner uh again can't really see what didn't see it i'm obviously i'm stood right pretty much right at the back of the um of the north stand so pretty much anything that if it's not in open play it's quite hard to see what's happening down there if it happens in a flash like that and you know the corner it comes in straight away the referee blows you can see tyler adams in a heap on the floor or some i didn't know who it was to be fair but i could see a bournemouth player in a heap on the floor and then all of a sudden the red card is produced and everyone around me everyone was asking themselves was that the milan keeper was that one of ours not to be on no one knew who it was i think we did just about work out from the milan complaints and everything that he was clearly clearly mania and who who had been shown the card it was like the referee took center stage like it was such a dramatic red he enjoyed it he definitely blew the whistle

and didn't even it was reaching it's a really slow motion reach into his back pocket and then it was like a quick wish up into the air all right who is it who is it and then yeah um and what again you see tyler adams falls i saw tyler adams fall to the floor and i was thinking oh it's just it's gonna be waved away as a free kick from milan or something And then, yeah, Maignan, France's number one, sent off at Dean Court.

I do

give credit to the referee.

If one of our players did that, I'd just be thinking, what an idiot.

Just keep me honest with yourself.

I know Tyler Adams is a bit of a nuisance and that's an understatement at these corners.

And he's probably been working on what Lewis can bring to the team.

Tyler Adams, I think, has gone up another step, another notch this season.

This performance was brilliant.

But let's not deny ourselves.

You raise your hands, you put them in another player's face of the opposition side, then you are going to be sent off.

Now, I think he was saying that he didn't really mean it and didn't realise that Tyler Adams was there.

But you don't push.

You don't push.

So in my honest opinion, whilst I'm saying, you know, I'm trying to be a bit nice to Milan and kind of balance it out here, you know, let's be fair, you know, had that hand not been raised... then we would have gone one nil up over it through Evan Nielsen anyway.

So yeah, fantastic, fantastic start.

And of course that second corner, you know, that come in and it wasn't the second corner, but it was a corner that come in, you know, and Tyler Adams, the thing is, is the ball was in play when it happened as well.

So Tyler Adams, you know, was on the ground.

See, a lot of people just think about the senior men's and women's national team.

And when I say senior, the ones that we watch on TV like this summer are U.S. men's national team, not necessarily 65 and older, although there's probably some older teams out there, but they're not part of the official 27 national teams in the U.S. Those 27 national teams are all of the age groups from the senior team of the international team that we know and love with Tyler Adams and Weston McKinney and Christian Pulisic.

And then our women's teams with Triple Espresso and Trinity Rodman and Lindsay Heaps and all the players that we love on the women's team.

That is what we call the senior national team.

I think it's a professional relationship, but I don't think that it's one where Again, there's a lot of warmth and great feeling.

I mean, you look at the players that Pochettino seems to value, a Tim Rehm, now a Tyler Adams, a Chris Richards.

Those are players that, when healthy, have always been there for the national team.

And you can't really say the same thing for Christian Pulisic.
