Who should partner Bradley in the midfield?

Jones, Cameron, or other?
I think Jones (as a pure player) is better than Cameron, but as far as allowing Bradley to get forward into positions where he can really have an impact in the final third, I appreciate Cameron's discipline. This is a TEAM game so I'm not sure Jones being a better player means he is better for the team as a whole.

Cameron, no question in my mind.
But then again I'm not a big Jones fan so take that with a grain of salt

Call me crazy, but I'm going to go with the guy who actually plays the position on a weekly basis.

Jones easily.
Cameron had one very good game alongside Bradley. The current pairing has been solid for a couple years now. I like Jones. Cameron should be the backup there and spell Jones in case of the eventual yellow card accumulation.

What is our Cameron at DM with Bradley sample size, like 1 or 2?

I feel like Bradley plays better in the offensive 1/3 without Jones. Am I wrong?

I don't know, he played pretty well in the second half today alongside Jones. I just don't think we have a proper Cameron sample size at DM to really debate this.

It was one very good game by both of them. I agree with you.

I'm not a GC hater by any means, I think he's incredibly useful with his ability to not look outclassed at 3 different positions. But I'm also not sold that he's really THAT good at any one of those positions. He will undoubtedly be on the WC roster and may even start some matches there, we have a long time until next summer and we'll just have to see how things play out.

Jermaine Jones

Jones

Yawn, proven mediocrity. Give me more cam/brad matches to test it, because at a glance it looks like potential for above average at least

Oh so you say the combo of Bradley and jones is above average on the international stage then?
Because it's not. It's almost the definition of mediocrity.

And GC instead of JJ would change this?

Well since we are going by "definition" there are 207 FIFA teams, so yes, in fact I do think they are above average since that would by definition put them at least 103. Saying there are 103 better midfield pairings is stupid as frick and you know that.

Looked pretty good against no. 13 in the world today.
And it's the best partnership we have.
They're both very good internationals.

Also I had to reread to make sure you weren't implying that Cameron for Jones would change the pairing from mediocre to above average.
You were.
That's stupid.

quote:Bradley and Jones have taken a while to mesh and develop a chemistry as our double pivot players. They played well together in the last round of WCQ's. In that Honduras game, go back and watch it, we saw Jones playing a much more secondary role and sitting deeper letting Bradley go forward a ton more that game. The Panama match showed us what Bradley can do with the ball going forward.

I'm guessing you just completely chose to ignore the words potential and chance?
