Bradley and Jones can be put out to pasture. I hope Bruce Arena is working on phasing those two out. Jozy was invisible. Dempsey for the most part as well. Tim Ream can't distribute the ball, but did have some key blocks.

Everyone else has been good. Pulisic, a touch shy of great, but playing a man's game for a young kid in a CONCACAF away qualifier.

edit- oh and Tim Howard is great again.

I enjoy having two DM's on the field at the same time. But too often Bradley or Jones strays way too far out of position leaving the counter open too much. That's why I think it wouldn't be bad going with a 4-1-2-1-2, assuming they find someone who can command that area just in front of the back like. And it's time to find the Christian Pulisic of defensive mids.

Not sure I agree with Jermaine Jones getting the nod tonight. He was all over the place and also making some questionable challenges. Seems like they could have gotten a better spark from someone off the bench.

About what they were expecting. Panama hasn't given up many goals.

Brooks being out and Ream thrown in. 4 points in this set of games, that will do just fine if they can manage it 3 more times (6 games).

4th place in the group now. The panic from the first 2 games is gone. Handle their usual (expected) business and they'll be in Russia 18.
