I like the way Garza has played the past few games and with Beasly out of camp I see no reason to not start him. Brooks needs the minutes. Besler needs a look as well. If nothing else than to evaluate if he gets brought in over someone else to the first camp next year. Chandler needs a look as well, but he played decently his last game if I remember correctly.
Rimando is still fighting to be no.1 so lets see what he's got.
Cameron wants to play in midfield so lets see what he's got. Is he a step above Beckerman? It'll also be a showcase to his club about where else he can be used.
Diskerud didn't do anything last game but deserves a chance to redeem himself. Bedoya was one of the only decent looking players last match and he and Mix play well together.
Johnson needs the confidence boost and doesn't need to end the year on a match like that.
Rubin get's the start because he impressed and as the only in form forward we brought, deserves it. Jozy gets the start because there's no one else and this could be his last PT before next year.
I struggled with the temptation to put as many young players on as possible but we need a win right now.
SUBS: Morales/Cameron
Ibarra/Chandler, move Johnson to RB
Green/Bedoya
Wood/Altidore
Morris/Diskerud, move Rubin to CAM
