Please feel free to post your own lineup. All comments and thoughts regarding lineup ideas are encouraged and appreciated.

What do you guys think about this:

----------------------- Altidore ------------------------

----- Pulisic ------- Dempsey ------- Nagbe -----

------------- Jones ----------- Bradley --------------

- Johnson ---- Brooks -- Cameron ---- Yedlin -

------------------------ Guzan -------------------------

Like that lineup. Think Jurgen will probably roll with Bedoya out wide over Pulisic even though I would love to see the kid start. Could also see Fab on the wing over Nagbe and Castillo start at left back.

Think it would be intriguing to play Cameron as the holding mid behind MB90 and start Besler with Brooks at center back.

I could see Castillo at LB, and Zardes at RW.

Had to switch out Jones for Kitchen. Have to start using a younger player for that position at some point. Here's a chance to give him at least 3 starts against good competition.

That is a lot of ground for Beckerman to cover.

Not a fan of that midfield at all.

This is what I think Klinsmann will use:

-------------- Dempsey ---------- Altidore --------------

- Johnson --- Beckerman --- Bradley --- Zardes -

- Ream ------ Besler ------ Cameron ------ Yedlin -

-------------------------- Howard --------------------------

I could definitely see that, but with Jermaine back in form I wonder if he displaces becks.

Too much space for an old Beckerman, Zusi is much better out wide, and it puts Bradley back in that attacking mid role that he's not that great in.

Zusi does not fast enough for a wide role in the international game, imo.

everyone seems to want Nagbe in an attacking role, but every time I watch the Timbers he's playing from a much deeper position.

Morris is really the guy to keep an eye on. If he continues scoring, he'll certainly be in contention for that CF position.

And Altidore just hasn't been very good for Toronto this year.

We all know that means diddly dick to Jurgy

I just want to see Pulisic on the pitch really. Stick him out wide on the left and play ball

We played in a true 4-3-3 last qualifier, and the team looked really good, I thought. Even if it was against Guatemala.

Curious as to why no one wants to see that formation anymore?
