Everybody is important in this lineup but Bradley is the key. He needs to sit really deep to allow Jones and Nagbe to have the freedom to roam in front of him and also allow Johnson and Yedlin to get forward. I put Johnson at left-back because he's the best one we have on the roster even though that's not his best position. I see both Pulisic and Dempsey having freedom to provide width but also make inside runs if our fullbacks can get forward which relies on us having some possession. With the quality and good form these 3 mids currently have i believe this group can play some possession and depart a bit from our usual counter attacking style, though that will still be an option
