You can make one change.

It's not a change that anyone can make...However, I really would like an emotional leader to step up. I sound like a broken record with this. But, it drives me nuts.

I don't know how much of a locker room presence Landon Donovan had, but he was always someone who put his big boy pants on when things weren't going well, see: Slovenia.

There are those instances. I don't think he has ever been a GREAT locker room presence. His personality has been very finicky. He was quick to give the LAG armband to Beckham. I'd like to hear what other people have to say about his leadership. It'd be an interesting topic. IMO.

Are we living in some alternate universe where Clint Dempsey has never played out left? frick, he'd play there for Spurs if monkey man didn't exist. He plays inverted, obviously, but I feel like that's his best position, which segues nicely into this:

To answer the question, put players in their natural positions, ie wingers on the wing, not central midfielders.

He leads on the field by example.

Like you said, we miss his width. That's for sure. (TWSS)

Cakes on the pitch. This is the only option.

Hendo was right about Klinsmann. He is not a tactican. Low was the man with the plan.

Teach the midfield and defenders how to fricking press.
