Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 4150885, member: 1452"] It is harder to play the 3-5-2 than the 4-3-3 and, as was shown yesterday, does not take much, at times, to expose our centerbacks. Having said that, conceptually, it does make sense. Gets Pulisic further up the field. Keeps MMA on the field. Where do you slot Weah though? He has to be on the field, especially with Pulisic's form being so poor. At the end of the day, that is Berhalter's biggest challenge. Right now, our optimal team does not include our best player and that is a real problem that he has to solve. Our best game during qualifying has been Mexico and Aaronson and Weah started that game. Spacing was excellent since neither is inclined to cut inside. Both provided width and allowed Mckennie and Musah those vertical runs down the channel in the midfield. If we want to do maximum damage in Qatar, we need our best player both playing well and making the team better. Right now, neither is happening. [/QUOTE]
