Altidore as Lone Forward as his current form says it all. Brad Davis, the most dangerous left foot in MLS, I watch him every weekend and there's none better at the position. I would rather have speedy Donovan as the 2nd Striker, but he plays well on the right and can make a difference from that position. Donovan > Zusi (for now). Imagine the quality of service from a combo of Davis/Donovan. That leaves Dempsey at the 2nd Striker. He has a nack for being in the right spot and of his poaching abilities. Playing off of Donovan/Davis to move forward. However, for this formation to be efficient, Dempsey cannot be silent and must be involved. Bradley is another no brainer. While, Jermaine Jones can be very sloppy. He provides a very physical presence in the midfield, at least a yellow card every other game. In situations where one must go forward and the stay back, Bradley should get the green light unless inside the box. Beasley only for his hard work and pace, I just wish he had better service when moving forward. The Besler/Gonzales combo has proven solid in the past but it could be better. They just need more time playing together and learning each others tendencies. As a Houston Dynamo fan, I do not feel that i'm being biased about Cameron at RB, he has great ball skills and service when moving forward at the flanks. He is a very versatile player and his height is a defensive bonus. Howard is a no brainer, but i must say that Brad Guzan is sneaking up on him. LANDON DONOVAN SHOULD ALWAYS BE CAPTAIN AS LONG AS HE IS IN THE STARTING XI FOR THE USMT. WHO HAS DONE MORE FOR THE USMT OR AMERICAN SOCCER THAN THIS MAN? TAKE HEED JURGEN K.
