I know a coach should make these decisions, but bradley is may honestly be more tactically savvy than Jurgen. I mean we know tactics aren't jurgen's strong suit. He shouldn't "decide" per se, but his input should be considered. 


Disagree completely, especially if we're following the "no player is irreplaceable" model (i.e. the ex-communication of Landon Donovan). If you allow one player to dictate tactics, you've got a recipe for disaster. Only in the instance where one player is MILES ahead of the rest of the team (think: Shalrie Joseph & Grenada), and even then it's probably foolish.

And, even as tactically inept as I believe Jurgen to be, I'd trust his judgement more than a 25 year old's.

The coach dictates what the players are to do, and you can fall in line or move on. It really isn't going to work. Do you think Jose Mourinho asked Cristiano who else should be on the field with him?

Cristiano only cares about cristiano on the field
I think star players do get some input, it may not actually change anything jurgen does but I think at least talks to them about certain combinations. I'm not saying Bradley should decide tactics and basically become a player coach like Bill Russell for his last title.
