US/Mexico lineup decisions thread

This is Ives' projected lineup.
——————————Eddie Johnson——————————
Fabian Johnson———–Clint Dempsey———–Landon Donovan
——————Jermaine Jones—-Kyle Beckerman——————
DaMarcus Beasley———————————-Michael Parkhurst
————-Clarence Goodson———Omar Gonzalez—————-
——————————–Tim Howard——————————-
If we play Jones and Beckerman together and expect to have any offensive production, especially with Johnson up top, I'm going to laugh/cry.
I think we should replace Beasley with Johnson, move LD to the left, start Bedoya on the right, and put AJ in up top. Start Mix over Beckerman.

Exactly what I said, except for the Mix over Beckerman part. That's a recipe for disaster IMO, as I don't think you could rely on either one to stay home in front of the defense. Jones would have to be THE defensive mid, and this game's too important to be relying on Jones to not try to do too much.
Jones will be eager to prove he's better than he showed against CR (which he is), and in Bradley's absence, he's the one I trust most to supply offense from that position while not being overwhelmed by Mexico on a big stage. Beckerman can be relied on to be Beckerman, which we need right now IMO..

I would rather have Mix or Kleijstan start over Beckerman. Put FJ at LB, LD on the left and Zusi on the right. Start AJ up top. Only put in GAM if we need a header late.

Orozco's going to start on the right.
I'd swap Guzan for Howard (won't happen) and Bacon for Beasley (move Fab back, Cakes left, Zusi right, Deuce central and Bacon up top).
And it's a bit of a pipe dream, but Mixx or Sacha for Beckerdreads.

Literally suggested this exact lineup to a friend of mine after the game ended. I will be furious if beckerman, jones, beasley, and orozco all start. That's a recipe for disaster. It's kind of inconceivable that johannsson would start so early in his tenure as a USMNTer, but I would love it.

I have a feeling no matter what the lineup is that this board will bitch and moan one way or another.
