I think this is the strongest the backline has been since 2009. In front of that line, I have the speed and strength of Edu and the guile and workrate of Michael Bradley. Mike has the ability to connect midfield and attack. My front four, I believe, could stack up against any competition if they play to their potential and to their strengths. Zusi has impressed me a lot this season, and I think he deserves to start with Brek coming off the bench if it doesn't work out.
