They kind of just alluded to it on the postmatch show, and when I first heard it, it sounded blasphemous... but is the midfield answer for Musah to replace Adams instead of Reyna replacing one of McKennie or Musah?

The point they were making is that Musah showed that he can more than hold his own with the defensive responsibilities that come as a 6, not to the level of Adams obviously. However, unlike Adams, Musah can also dribble out of pressure.

Even better, none of those guys are going anywhere. TA is 27 for the ‘26 WC, Musah is 24, Wes, Gio, CP all mid-20’s. Lines up really well!

It’s a headache and one I’m glad I don’t have to figure out. You can always play Yunus against better teams and Adams against teams sitting back on the counter.

In my opinion our best midfield replaces McKennie with Gio. Adams, Musah, Reyna. It’s easy to forget how important Adams is to our team. We played a dogshit Mexico and a Canada team incapable of building through the midfield. With teams that want to play through their midfield, we need Adams.

I think Musah is a great 8 for reasons you mentioned: good defensively but can carry the ball out of pressure. I like McKennie a lot but he’s mostly just condensed grit and shithousery (which definitely has a place)
