If we have to put Fab at LW, then I'd rather put Beasley at LB than Omar in the starting 11.

And I hate Beasley at LB.

I think we just need to go out in the first game with Fab at LB, Cameron and Besler in defense, and Chandler at RB, Zusi in midfield along with JOnes and Bradley, on the left play a fairly harmless placeholder who will be play some defense, Deuce in a hybrid role, and Jozy up top. I don't see anyone besides Bedoya who could be that placeholder. Certainly not lead foot Davis or 110 pound Green.

No matter what, 4 of the team's 5 best midfielders play centrally and that's a big problem

In the second half, we can try some stuff if that looks impotent. Either Bacon on the left or Fab at LW, Beasley at LB, or something else.

If we want defensive, I feel like this would be interesting...

Howard
Chandler Cameron Besler Fab
Beckerman Jones
Zusi Bradley Dempsey
Altidore


or a bit less defensive...
Howard
Chandler Cameron Besler Fab
Jones Bradley Diskerud
Zusi Altidore Dempsey



I dunno. It's definitely an interesting discussion.

We're going to have to find a way to overload the middle of the field. Hopefully we've been focusing on that.


I think the key against Germany will be having a 2nd striker or CAM to help either Jones or Bradley press high on their holding mids. The best way to contain Özil, Reus, whomever, is to cut off their supply.

Too bad Dempsey probably won't do that
