Keeper: I don't mind the alternating of Howard and Guzan, but I would like to see some of the young guys (Steffen, Cropper, Horvath) given the opportunity to train with the full team in camp.
CB's: I think right now Cameron and Ream are (along with Evans) the most consistent and sure footed defenders in the pool. Once again I would like to see some of the young guys get some camp experience and gradually be integrated into the lineup in Miazga's case.
RB: It's about damn time Yedlin gets some defensive experience. Also, he's not a primary attacking player/creator.
LB: Honestly, for a lack of a better option give Lichaj a chance.
CDM: Kitchen to shield the back line and MB to link play between defense and attack.
CAM: Although Benny may be a better option, its not worth even mentioning him here... so Ale will be the holdover until, if ever, a no. 10 emerges.
LW/RW : Fabian may be the best player and it's time to play him in his best position. While as of now I would start Zardes in the match, guys like Llegett, Findlay, and Gyau (when healthy) should be given the opportunity to compete for the job.
FWD: Not giving Bobby Wood an opportunity to start against Costa Rica was criminal. All he's done this year is score a game winner in the 80+ minute away at the Netherlands and Germany and score a tying goal against you rival in a huge match in extra time. Give him a chance!
