EJ should be playing the role Gomez played against A&B. With Kljestan and Zusi playing out wide, we can expect lots of good service into the box, and EJ has demonstrated his ability to finish those chances.
Dempsey can reprise his role from A&B, this time tucked in behind EJ, and I expect he'll perform better under the lights at Livestrong. The turf and (hopefully) the weather will treat him better than they did Friday, and he'll have another chance to prove he is who we know him to be.
Bocanegra showed that he's not as strong on the left as he is centrally. Fabian Johnson's return should shore up the back line and provide an added threat out wide.
