I think midfield wise- nagbe and bedoya really put in good work and range that midfield holding good balance between the backline and the front. Nagbe is creative quick and moves the ball well especially in tight spaces. Bedoya runs into the space well and can string along plays this way. Zusi is solid and you know what to expect, with good crosses and good defense. Orozco similar to Zusi. Both lack pace but our sold position wise and don't make many mistakes. Unless there is someone will real pace on their team on their side I would keep them together for they will move the ball congruently and not take too many risks. Cameron and Brooks are our most solid defenders I think. What brooks lacks in pace Cameron has. Acosta and Pulisic together are very pacey and creative and can make really open the game between each other. Especially with Nagbe on their side. With Klejstan i nthe creative midfielder spot, we can really get some ingenius combination play, the best I think since landon Donovan was on the team seeing as how we will have klejstan, pulisic and nagbe together on the left. And Altidore can score with good setup and also holds up the play well for the likes of pulisic or klejstan to also score. I think this is the best lineup seeing as bobby wood nor johnson nor yedlin were in the possible choices. By the way, how com ethey arent getting called up? Or are they?
