I want that South American 4 + Nagbe + Garza + Gressel together.

I'm not sure how you do that with the 3-5-2 unless you sit Jeff and put Nagbe at the 6 (which may be what we do).

And then you'll have to rethink everything if we do sign a 6 this summer (or before this window closes).

You can make it work in a 4-2-3-1, you just have to put Gressel in as a standard RB and shift the defenders.

ST: Martinez
LW: Barco
AM: Almiron
RW: Villalba
DM: Nagbe
DM: Larentowicz
LB: Garza
CB: LGP
CB: Parkhurst/Escobar
RB: Gressel
GK: Guzan

But I like the 3-back systems too much.

It’s a good problem to have. There’s a benefit in having someone like Villalba come off the bench. Do what Mou used to do a lot with Martial and Rashford... have one replace the other in the final 20 or so when the starter has completely run his marker to death.

If Barco keeps playing like this (or even improves), I'm ok with Villalba coming in off the bench.

I think Gressel is a better RWB than Escobar, but Escobar is a better RB than Gressel.

And we still need to start using some subs earlier. I really like Williams and think he can really help close out the last 20'

NYCFC is losing 3-0 to Portland. A loss would put AUFC only 1 point back in the East with a game in hand.

Also would be 1 point out from the Supporters Shield lead with a match in hand

And we still haven't played a game with everyone 100% healthy.

We had depth issues last year, but we've really fixed a lot of those positions. We could use another true CB, DCM, LWB, but we're stacked everywhere else.

We're also only 3 points behind NYCFC for qualifying for CCL.

We have 3 chances this year:
1. Win MLS Cup
2. Win US Open Cup
3. US MLS team with the best aggregate record over 2017 and 2018 regular seasons.

Anyone ever sat in the Harrah's Cherokee Casino Club?

Got a co-worker that has 2 seats in section 237. Will be using his tickets.

Not really sure. How often do the fans stand in that section, better food options than in the concourse? Just general opinions.
