With Jones out, I don't think we have a 3 person midfield. Nagbe, Feilhaber, and Birnbaum all impressed in January camp. Benny is more than a homer pick. He showed well at the tail end of SER and most of the JAM game. We are strongest with a two striker system and the four in midfield can hold onto the ball and do something with it. I think it will also be Birnbaum over Omar because Steve has spent the last month with Bruce learning the system and new expectation.
