Based on the game last week, this is the best way for us to play with Pulisic as a 10. Jozy will play as a false 9, dropping into midfield with Wood and Pulisic making runs off of him centrally and Villafana providing width on the left. Arriola will be the outlet on the right with Yedlin overlapping. We need two CDM's to provide cover, otherwise we'll likely get beaten on the counter. Playing with one CDM just isn't enough, and McCarty seems to be more trustworthy than Acosta, but maybe bring Acosta on that the end for fresh legs.
