Donovan needs to be a forward because he refuses to play defense while at midfield. No doubt, he has some serious skill up top, but with his “i’ll be right there” attitude the U,S, can not afford to trust him with somewhat defensive position.

i’m not convinced that we’re so deep at fwd. i mean, i know our midfielders are all banged up right now, but if everyone is healthy, that part of the field looks strongest. i’m sold on mcbride… and pretty much sold on johnson. is twellman a lock to start matches in germany? i’m not sold. i think guys like o’brien and reyna and yes, dempsey, will be able to get the ball up to donovan, who will be playing like a CAM, if not an outright fwd.

Lando has to be in the center that is for sure. We are too deep at forward to waste Landon up there. Central Attacking midfield is our best bet. Twellman and Johnson at starting forwards.

I think that Donovan’s best position is that of an attacking midfielder, or how you put it withdrawn forward. I think the system will work best if he is behind forwards like mcbride, johnson or twellman and in front of Claudio Reyna who would play more of a facilitator role.
