Am I the only one who doesn't like seeing Timmy Chandler getting more opportunities to give away possession game after game? I'd like to see Danny Williams developing in the Jermaine Jones type role, establishing his rapport with Bradley and Mix will be important for the future. I like seeing Bradley with defensive responsibilities, since it forces him to check back moreso on the attack. The starting position allows him to sit back a little more, given that when he starts further up the field he drifts a little too far for my liking. I think Mix's creativity in the attacking third will be valuable. Zardes has turned in somewhat inconsistent performances for the USMNT so far, so I'd like to see him thrown into the fire against the Dutch. This will provide a nice test to see how far he's come. I'd also want Yedlin stretching us forward out there, giving us the pace we know he has down the right flank. I'd like Juan Agudelo to build off his impressive, albeit limited, minutes against Mexico with a nice followup performance here. Maybe he can sneak in another cheeky goal for us.
