This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

That's a useful site. by NDMike2001

Like I said, I couldn't quite tell the formation. And depending on the formation, you might find answers.

Jones is both a problem and a blessing. When he is free to roam he's probably the best player on the team. So right now the US is best in a 4-2-3-1 with him floating forward as an attacking midfielder and Bradley staying back. But he's literally the only guy that can (and does) do that.

When Jones isn't playing they could possibly go into a 442 diamond with Pulisic on the right and Nagbe on the left. I believe that Pulisic is on the right with Dortmund, but I recall him on the left under JK.

The problem with finding a replacement for Jones is that Bradley doesn't really play well in a CM pairing. So unless we're ready to drop him, I'm not sure that there will be many options to grow that role. It's a problem.
