Marvell Wynne will feature on an unchanged backline for the US, but the rest of the team sheet faces questions going into tomorrow’s match/photo from FIFA.com
With Michael Bradley and Freddy Adu suspended but the US needing a draw to guarantee a place in the final eight, what lineup should Peter Nowak use?
Should he revert to a 4-4-2 or stick with the 4-5-1 which has allowed the US to control possession in both matches of the competition thus far?
Here is how I see the 4-5-1 scenario:
———————————Guzan——————————————-
Wynne————–Edu———————Parkhurst——————–Orozco—–
———————–Szetela——————Feilhaber—————————
Davies—————————-Kljestan——————————-Holden—-
———————————McBride—————————————–
or the 4-4-2
———————————Guzan——————————————-
Wynne————–Edu———————Parkhurst——————–Orozco—–
——————————–Feilhaber——————————————
Holden————————–Kljestan———————————Rogers—–
—————–Altidore——————-McBride———————————
Ultimately which choice will Peter Nowak make and what are everyone’s thoughts about player selection for tomorrow’s massive match?

Play Rogers in place of Holden in a 4-5-1.
Holden’s mind is probably some place else after the disastrous end to that game the other day.
Same thoughts. Rogers and his speed instead of Holden and his mistakes.
I believe in your 4-5-1, except i’d like this:
-Szetela in front of the back for (d-mid if you will)
-Feilhaber and Kljestan in front of Szetela, (paired center mids)
I think this gives us enough defensive shape, and punch, along with a midfield that CAN hold posession, to give us our best chance.
