I'd go with a 4-2-3-1 due to all of a sudden lack of depth everywhere including a place where we've had like 4-5 defensive CMs. Rumors of Jones being hurt as well leads me to this team.
Gomez ST, Dempsey CAM
with either Corona or Klestjan at LM, Zusi RM
Bradley at defensive CM but ability to move forward, Williams at other defensive CM to help back line, Boca LB
Cameron LCB
Edu RCB b/c Cherundolo will go up the field so we'll need a good/fast CB and Goodson doesn't cut it for that reason, Cherndolo RB
Howard G
With Johnson, Gordan, Corona/Klestjan, Beckerman, Jones (if he can play), and Goodson/Parkhurst with a goalie eligible to play if necessary. Since we are hurt or sick in certain positions, must play a formation where there is some type of depth rather than a 4-3-3 where we definitely don't have enough wingers to play this unless Gomez and Dempsey move away from goal (not likely in my opinion).
