I dont think we could pull it off. Tactically.
I love the game, but will admit I don't know shite about tactics at this level.

Playing a 3 man back line without a TON of practice in doing it is a recipe for disaster, I'll say that.

Needs deeper width. Your wingers are pushed too high up for that to work. You'd need more of a 3-5-2/3-4-1-2 to play a three-back lineup.
More traditional midfield winger than LAMs or RAMs like we usually trot out. Basically push Fabian and Zusi back a line.

I'd agree with that, but if it didn't work, you could just slide Cameron back.

I think you have to start Jones, but honestly Cameron and Bradley might be a better pairing. Bradley is better going forward than Jones and Cameron looked like more of a difference maker defensively than Jones.
I might be tempted to put Fabian at LB and start Dempsey at LW with Bradley in front of Cameron and Jones. Tell Fabian to roam forward as Clint moves inside and Cameron to cover Fabians runs defensively.

What the frick is going on this thread?
Putting aside some of the WTF-ness in here, Jones and Bradley will start in the center.
I'd actually prefer a Besler/Cameron CB pairing. Gonzales has four or five moments a game that can cost you.

I like this a lot. Hopefully Jurgen goes for a decisive victory against a thin Honduras

Sense. This makes it.
Didn't Honduras give us fits down the left last time out, though, when we employed a similar tactic?

Who was playing LB?
I agree with you about Gonzales, but I think he is seen as the future at that CB spot, and after Cameron's showing last time out, I don't want to pencil him in at any one spot. On a team this thin, his versatility is a big plus.
Posted on 6/17/13 at 10:24 am to uway
agreed, Gonzales isn't quite there, but he's really close. He's also OUTSTANDING in the air, offensively and defensively.
Quite a few instances in the Belgium game, where he beasted over Fellaini(sp?) and won a header.
For me, and this has gotten off topic. Right now, Besler > Gonzales.
If Cameron moved to CB for Stoke, I'd love to see him and Besler pair up. But that centre half position is one where you definitely need to be playing week in and week out. It's probably the toughest position on the field to step into, if you're not playing there regularly.

Don't take it so personally that peoples opinions differe stew..
I don't understand this sudden love of certain players. The lineup we trotted out the last 3 matches clearly works. Stick with it as much as possible.

Fabian. I think they scored a goal on an attack when he pushed forward and didn't recover. Either that or they created a chance that Howard bailed out.
That was the game Chandler sucked at right back, I think, that hot arse game in Honduras.

I really think the attack is better with Cameron next to Bradley. He stays home and allows MB to attack. Jones is to apt to run up field and force MB to have to cover for him. Jones is a better athlete than Cameron, but not as good as he thinks he is. Jones freelances to much for my tastes and has a tendency to get stupid cards. Also there is no sense in rushing Jones back against this half strength Honduras squad.

Nailed it.

Similar strategy on the left, sure, but we weren't playing with a double pivot consisting of a defensive midfielder and a defender.

Midfield mainstay for Schalke or a utility man for Stoke? Cameron played well last game for sure but you start Jones without a second thought.
Posted on 6/17/13 at 12:24 pm to hendersonshands
agree. Cameron is an excellent Utility player. Not sure he has a starting spot when our full team is healthy and ready to play.

Cameron is valuable on the bench because he can be the first guy off the bench when you need a center half or a right back. He is also the perfect player to sub on around the 70th minute when you're trying to kill off a game.
Posted on 6/17/13 at 1:01 pm to Tennessee Jed
I personally like Cameron more but Jones has played well as of late. It's out of the question who will play, though, since Jurgy's clear favorite player on the team is Jones from an intangibles/sentimental perspective.
