Your image is limited in one thing, it doesn't show Yedlin. IF you look at the video Yedlin is indeed "at home". The major problem is that at the start of the sequence Davies is goal side of him. Yedlin is gesturing for help BUT until you are sure of that help stay inside / goal side of Davies he is much more of a threat than any other Canadian player on that side of the pitch and a simple, easy pass inside beats Yedlin.

Davies is a beast so it was bound to happen against Dest or Yedlin. I don't disagree with the Letget press analysis either. But Brooks looks completely lost in the box on that play. USMNT defenders will need to step up their game to qualify.
