I suspect Michael Bradley will be a starting player under his father. I mean, I'm no fan of nepotism but the reality is he's one of our most talented players; he looked last year like his legs were gone in terms of closing guys down quickly in the defensive zone. But this early in the year, that isn't going to be obvious and his old man will have faith that he still has it to be a starter and captain.Originally Posted by Graeme
Just my expectation. Ayo is out for three or four months, so right now, we're almost certainly playing Peruzza alone up top OR Pozuelo up top as a false nine.
Might be:
----------------------Westberg----------------
--------O'Neill------Salcedo------Mavinga-------
--Auro---------------------------------------Lawrence
----------------Osorio----Bradley--------------------
--Achara/Rutty-----Pozuelo------Shaffelburg
Or ---------------Westberg------------------
Auro------Salcedo-----Mavinga-------Lawrence
---------Bradley------Priso-------Osorio
---------Pozuelo----Peruzza----Shaffelburg
It's worth keeping in mind Pozuelo played as an inside-out wide player for years before moving to the hole.
