Now that Pulisic is firmly entrenched as the primary playmaker it makes sense to supply him with willing runners who also have the quality to deliver in the final third. Wood over Dempsey to start because his work rate/youth will be invaluable in stretching their back line. Having a fresh legged super sub in Clint will be critical. If Brooks is healthy I say play him. I know the 3 points from T&T moved us out of panic mode but the confidence gained from a win on Mexican soil would be invaluable. If he's laboring he can be subbed out for Besler. I like Bradley as the sweeper keeping everything in front of him where his service is still first class. The Yedlin-Johnson-Wood pipeline should produce chances and headaches for El Tri.
