I'm not too concerned with Jones. He's been lights out and one of our 4 best players in the Copa.
I can't wait to see how JK replaces Yedlin. There are some different options, but losing our fastest FB against a great counter-attacking team that has great wing players like Ecuador does is huge.
1. Does he keep it simple and just sub in Orozco for Yedlin? That talent drop off is HUGE.
2. Does he move FJ to the right side and insert Castillo or Besler) on the the left?
3. Does he move Cam from CB to RB and break up the great duo of Brooks and Cam? Cam is very fast, but that's a huge risk.
It's not an easy call and I'm sure JK will be criticized regardless of what he does once the lineup is announced. So, what would y'all do? As damn crazy as it sounds, I'm leaning toward moving Cam to RB and replacing him with Besler to line up next to Brooks.
Guzan
Cam Besler Brooks Johnson
Bedoya Bradley Jones
Zardes Dempsey Wood
I'd also be tempted to start Zusi over Bedoya. Bedoya looked pretty gassed against Paraguay.
