We should all remember that Roger was a defender before moving to the midfield. And I would assume both Roger and Graham will play a more defensive role behind Jeferson.<br /><br />With the promise that Jeferson will only play 60 minutes or so, another defensive-minded replacement will probably enter the game at that point — especially if we have the lead. That could be Luke, Cesar, or even Michael.<br /><br />From my point of view, Teal is still not working. He gives up on balls. He will most likely continue to be a sub for important games until he shows he is willing to work as CJ, Kei and Omar do.<br /><br />I see a win coming with a shutout, 2-0.hartleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-52536204843347321002011-07-23T13:33:48.806-05:002011-07-23T13:33:48.806-05:00I would bench Kamara and keep Cesar in the startin...I would bench Kamara and keep Cesar in the starting XI, with Zusi moving to right wing.aletheistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-14884842550074463232011-07-23T09:34:18.280-05:002011-07-23T09:34:18.280-05:00I'm looking forward to seeing the threesome of...I'm looking forward to seeing the threesome of Zusi, Jeferson and Bravo learning to connect with each other.

Without a true d-mid (all the guys you've listed in the midfield aren't really known for their defensive ability) you're going to lose the connection between the midfield and defense.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931590118053363115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-89864817913407438372011-07-23T08:51:20.441-05:002011-07-23T08:51:20.441-05:00I like the defensive lineup you put out.

What about putting Kamara at midfield?<br /><br />Kamara Jeferson Zusi<br />Bunbury Sapong Bravo<br /><br />That's some firepower to stop this goal scoring issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
