• Kljestan-Bradley pairing?

    It seems like one of the better pairings for the central midfield was between Michael Bradley and Sacha Kljestan. Those two had chemistry, probably in part due to their time together on the Olympic squad. And the best part is...

  • Now a back four...

    See? Edu now can cover an attacking midfielder in that zone, if the need arises, or if the opponent is simply using a front three and we need the spare man at the back.

  • Back three for the U.S.

    And there may be more. Edu can slide out and become a defensive midfielder when it's required, like against teams that play a front three/one striker. That could easily become our team's signature shape.

  • 4-3-3/4-3-2-1

    We've yet to actually see this lineup, but I think it could actually work fairly well. What I want is for Bradley and Jones to get past the opposition midfield and running at the defense. The key to that is to get somebody between lines who can l...

  • Manchester United vs Real Madrid

    Valencia is the closest thing to Phil Jones when it comes to marking Ronaldo. He and Rafael also killed Cole and Clichy earlier this season and will be in charge of running counterattacks. Real will press with a high line but that means Welbeck might...

  • 4-2-3-1 - Kljestan as CAM.

    He did this really well against Jamaica in the Gold Cup. He linked play between lines and allowed the rest of the U.S. to get forward into dangerous spots.

  • BS Lineup: 4-3-2-1/4-3-3

    We don't have another Donovan. We need to utilize Bradley and Jones - get them around the opposition midfield and running at the defense. Whenever they do, they do good things. Bradley's goal against Russia, and Scotland. Jones' assis...

  • Get Kljestan involved?

    It could work. We need to get our central midfield involved though. Simple as that. When they do, they make things happen, hence, Bradley vs Russia.

  • Possibru U.s. lineup 2

    This is a back four alternative to the previous formation. I think switching between the two shapes would be a good idea, so as to be able to have a spare man at the back.
