This formation gives Donovan and Dempsey the freedom to move inside with the ball or stay wide and look for the cross. It gives Altidore the support of Dempsey and Bradley as they love to move into attacking positions, while keeping Jones deep for defensive cover of the center mid, as well as provides a shield to our inexperienced back line. Feilhaber will provide both a calming presence on the ball as well as quality probing passes from deep in the mid. Johnson and Chandler can provide width when Dempsey or Donovan do cut inside.
