Just because I want more interaction with the GGG haters, here are my grades for Berhalter in the categories that matter to a NT manager.

Please bring all your hatred for these grades... I welcome it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">

Tactical: B/B-

This one will make a lot of people mad but I am a believer in the style and formation we are playing for our personnel. Feel like he’s gotten better in this area from Crew days as well.
Building Culture: A

He has built a feel around the team that is exciting and he has the young dudes bought in. Played have said it’s the most fun they’ve had on a team.

Any time you see a video from camps it looks incredible. And obviously it has attracted a ton of talent.
Motivator: Between B/C

This one is still a bit unknown to me but based on info I have he seems solid. I think we will get to see where this one truly is in the next 6 months.
Recruiter: A

This is maybe the most important role we needed from a NT manager from 2018-2020 and he has absolutely nailed it!!

For the people who don’t give him credit for this... cmon! You think players are committing without loving the leader?
In game coach/tactician: C-/D

I think this is one of his big weaknesses. It also hasn’t been tested much with NT in high pressure situation but I have never been impressed with his teams abilities to adjust.
Roster/Lineup Selection: C

I think he was a solid F in 2019 but I think he’s made a lot of progress... but still makes a lot of questionable decisions.

At the end of the day 80-90% of rosters and starting lineups are where I want...
Overall: B-

His strengths which are recruting, culture and team building have been massive needs for us during this time so I won’t have him rated as low as people who weigh tactics heavier.

We needed a guy to build a culture, team atmosphere and secure talent. He has done it
I think he has gotten better on the job but there are still big ? if he is the guy to take the project forward long term.

I think firing him before WC should only happen under dire circumstances and I don’t believe those will come up.
I believe he takes us into this WC, leads us out of the group and we have a solid showing. I personally don’t care about “trophies” in the next year... only qualifying and WC performance

I think if he doesn’t grow as tactician & game manager we should look elsewhere next cycle.
