Play Bradley next to Williams and you have two hard-working midfielders who can push forward behind Kljestan, a player who needs/deserves/has earned the right to the playmaker role behind a front three. He can work on the pivot, understands how to move the ball from side to side and with Dempsey ahead of him on the right, he can move into that space if Dempsey drops deeper into the midfield. Gomez centrally because he's earned it and Altidore through the left as more of a second forward than a winger. Have Johnson run up and down that side with Bradley covering for him.
