It's not an agenda. Poulter has sucked. Like really bad blocking, outside setting and slow AF. The Poulter that played VNL...she's not as good as LC. Healthy? Better for sure. No one is denying that Poulter has been bad. "Not as good as LC" is a conclusory statement unsupported by what's been produced on court. Just continuing to trash Poulter doesn't change that. I have neither the time nor the interest to review video and evaluate the sets, defense, blocks, touches and errors (I know it exists but it's always wrong). it is conclusory based on my completely subjective evaluation of foot speed, set location, defense and blocking. Prove me wrong.

Omg absolutely not. Carlinis location has been dreadful. Poulter even injured is still better

USA played 13 sets against the Netherlands and went 10-3 in total. USA was 4-3 when Lauren started and 6-0 when Jordyn started. I don't expect the USA to medal, but if they do, it's likely because Jordyn was healthy enough to get them there. This is about the most stupid comment I have ever read (not really but all for effect). You do realize the hitters changed with the setters and your statistical analysis was missing a few contributing factors, right?

This is just furthering the years-long agenda (which predates Poulter's injury, btw) that underperformance when she's setting is the fault of LC's teammates and/or coaches.

I was at the match yesterday afternoon... Poulter is absolutely dragging that leg around... I will leave it to the setting experts to break down the statistics and techniques. As mentioned above, she struggled to get to balls that she would normally get with ease... Hoping for continued improvement for her health between now and Paris... Cook posted a highlight/reel on her insta that had JP trying to get up off the *ground after diving for a ball and it took her like a full on 6 seconds. It did not scream mobile.

Sure but your comment completely ignores a different line up. People loved Lauren when she was feeding the middles to a 500%. When she was defending. He. She was setting the D well. Narrative or observation depends on who is spinning the information, particularly when people want to rewrite history.
