My question is, how can we get Bacon on the field? With MB playing in the attacking role in the diamond 4-4-2 and Jozy and CD up top, there isn't room for him unless it is off the bench. He needs to see minutes IMO.

He'll have to be a sub. Depending on Dempsey's health and fitness then Bacon could start but I'm hoping Clint's alright.

He was very disciplined in the back and helped the backline out a lot.

I'd like to see Jozy Bacon up top

Clint at CAM and bradley back to CDM. From tonight I'd put Bedoya on the left and Zusi on the right.

The back line is a mess, but we will find out more vs Turkey

Bradley is a much better player in open games. With the Azeris bunkering 10 behind the ball, Bradley couldn't pick out a runner on the flanks. As I previously mentioned, the wind carried pretty much any lofted through ball an extra 20 yards.

Look at his performance against Mexico for comparison. The Mexicans never would attack with less than six players running. That opened space for Bradley to ping it out wide and to find Wondo on the second goal.

Bacon won't start unless Jozy falls apart, but I think Mix could. I think we tend to overrate Bradley's offense and underrate his defense. Not sure he can or should play the playmaker role in our group.

IOW I would use Mix as the CAM if he keeps this up.

If jones is an liability at the CDM role would we not put Bradley there, Clint at CAM and Jozy and Bacon up top?

He was having trouble working himself into enough space to even receive the ball with the way AZ was set up

I just cannot believe we would try that diamond against Portugal and Germany.

The problem there was that Jones is not a liability there.

Everyone needs to calm the f down about Bradley. He can have an off game. He will be fine.

The diamond forces jones to stay deep and he played well in that role tonight.

Bedoya is pure hustle. Did a lot tonight to get a starting spot in Brazil.

Besler's partner might not be decided until after the Nigeria game. Need them to be tested more.

Mix is a Norwegian sex god

Hope we see green instead of Davis off the bench next game.

The huge problem with Jones is his penchant for getting caught in possession against quick teams. See his performance against Honduras in San Pedro Sula. The Azeris had no more than two players attacking the American defense at once, which opened up the room for Jones to take his time passing.

That being said, it was the most disciplined I've ever seen him as a true defensive midfielder with the national team.
