Just wondering what your thoughts are on the 2-5-3 formation we apparently played.

The formation wasn't the problem it's how we played it, we were a disgrace to the 4-3-3 last night.

Stickman Beasley at left back, I thought that was a misprint when I saw our lineup. He's not nearly tough enough to be a defender.

Bob Bradley was having a Steve Sampson moment, circa 1998. Changed too many things all at the same time, playing too many guys in unfamiliar roles. In hell-hole Saprissa, no less.
Under pressure, players perform best when their instincts/training fit their roles.
I liked dull, conservative, incremental RoboBob better. He doesn't do radical change well, and the US player pool can't handle sudden, major changes.
