Comments on: It sucks now, but it’s worth it in the long run. http://avoidingthedrop.com/2009/06/29/it-sucks-now-but-its-worth-it-in-the-long-run/ If he has a chihuahua character, I can't make a chihuahua into a rottweiler. He could be a proud chihuahua but he remains a chihuahua. - Paolo Di Canio Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:43:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ebullientfatalist http://avoidingthedrop.com/2009/06/29/it-sucks-now-but-its-worth-it-in-the-long-run/comment-page-1/#comment-4358 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:51:46 +0000 http://avoidingthedrop.wordpress.com/?p=2121#comment-4358 Davies plays as a withdrawn forward, out to the left, allowing for quick counters.

Both will fit fantastically in the 4-2-2-2 to which Bradley has shown a recent affinity. So, barring injury (fingers crossed, etc.) our formation should ostensibly look like:

Altidore
Davies

Dempsey Landycakes

Feilhaber/Clark Edu/Jones/Torres

Boca Gooch DeMerit Spector

Our Own Timmy Howard

I thought Jones had been capped by Germany and wasn’t eligible to play for the US team.

We played football yesterday the way we should always play it: tough defending and midfield play coupled with fast counterattacks with a hint of whimsy. We just need depth coming off the bench; Sasha won’t cut it.
