One injury and we're screwed. I agree that I don't like to see Bradley at D-mid but that is sort of the reality when Adu is in. Adu always plays attacking midfielder and the only way I can see us getting Bradley up is by playing him alongside Adu. That could cramp up Adu though. Also, if Bradley is up the field more, we leave the defense vulnerable. We could play a 4-3-1-2 which would let Bradley be a little higher on the field but I can't see Nowak using him further up the field. I'm disappointed that they didn't take a defender because I see us being not only weak, but also, we don't have enough defenders. i’d tend to agree, but if we go with a four man backline, we have one defender on a bench and that’s not good.

But, the only defender they had as a choice from the list of alternates is Frankie Hedjuk and he is overage. I really don't see why Michael Bradley is always put as a DM. He is a much better attacking option. I don't know who i would put back there. we could play a 4-4-2 with Mo Edu playing as the 4th defender, 4 across the middle with Rogers on the left, Bradley and Adu in the center and Kljestan on the right, and Mcbride and Altidore up top. Our defense is probably our weakest link, so We have to push the attack. I think we have the options. The midfield and forwards are all attack minded players. We can do well with the lineup we have, we just have to have the defense and guzan put on an incredible show. Hmm, I am a McCarty man, but a defender would have been nice.
