re: Michael Bradley completed 98.2% of his passes tonight

I always thought Dempsey was most effective as that inverted winger/auxiliary 10/shadow striker role he played for Fulham his last year there. He just doesn't release the ball when he should, ala the French playmakers, though in the box I think he's our best weapon. Is he truly a good enough passer for the free role? I'm inclined to say no, though I would be happy to be wrong.
