Nice 2-deep… a few thoughts
- I’m not sure Reyna out wide works… he is too isolated and dribbles into too many corners and between him and Dest, the right touchline would be WIDE open. I put him at attacking midfield
- Aaronson has been playing left winger and doing a good job, I’d keep him there
- Brooks and Miazga might be done, between McKenzie and Richards, I think their spots have been taken
- Joe Scally better get a call up… he can play either fullback position 
- I think Hoppe is a 9, but he needs to score some goals or he will be a utility player
- No Zardes? He is more impactful than Dike right now.
- kdlf is probably somewhere in this mix as well… but might be on the outside looking in

This is by far the most talented US squad ever… but the best players don’t quite fit together. Why should Aronson sit for Reyna or Pulisic? Is Reyna that much better than Musah or Busio? Should Adams and McKinnie both play or should Weston sit for Busio/Reyna/Myeah? Should Pulisic play wing for the US when he totally destroys our shape and we lose all width?

Experiments a better coach than we have would try
- Pulisic as a false 9, with some combo of Aaronson, Weah, Hoppe, Pepe making runs off him
- a 4-4-2 with Pulisic/Pepe as strikers and a diamond 4 of Reyna, Musah, Adams, McKinnie

The options are endless... we need a coach with no preconceptions and an imagination
