Still no width on the roster. If Landon can't go, it's a place that can be attacked, especially if he chooses to use Parkhurst and Zusi in the same game.

I mean, I guess you could use Shea as a wide midfielder, but Klinsmann would rather try to instill a "pretty" 4-3-3/4-5-1, than play a 4-4-2 and win a fricking game.

No Landon, and it'll (whichever game) be Jamaica 1, part two.

Which is why I would include Beasley. That just gives us two wide left sided players though. I'm struggling to think of another option on the right after Donovan. I know Zusi can play "on the right" but he's definitely not a quick, tricky winger type.

Who would you have brought in for that type of role?

I believe Gatt is a right sided player but I've only seen one highlight video of him. He looks fast, I guess. I have no idea if he's ready and couldn't pick him out of a crowd.

I don't know if we need to play a 4-4-2 to get results, and am not even sure it fits our personel. Any 4-4-2 under Jurgen's most likely going to have Dempsey as one of the "strikers" in a withdrawn role, and that's basically no different than a 4-4-1-1. Dempsey drops incredibly deep at times in that role.

Isn't that why he brought in Sacha?
And didn't we just dominate Jamaica without Landon?

The width is going to come from Steve and Landon.
I think we'll be ok with Donovan, Dempsey, Bradley, Klejstan/Zusi, Williams and the same back line we had last time out. We'll be better than at any other time in qualifying, regardless of which strikers are sitting on the bench.
