TheNearPostSomething of a 4-2-1-3. Dempsey playing as a false nine, dropping into the midfield to drag defenders out of position and create gaps that Altidore and Shea can exploit. Donovan will also make runs beyound Dempsey, but the two will also look to combine in the hole in front of the defense.

nvrIsn't Altidore a better man to lead the attacking line? Maybe not technically but physically?

TheNearPostThat's true, but he also likes receiving the ball from the left and then cutting inside, or making runs from the left onto through balls. Similar to David Villa's role for Barcelona.

That said, Jozy could do both roles.
