The only people I've seen making this claim are the ones not advocating pushing Holden wide.
That was still me: Edu & Jones in the middle, Holden at RM, Dempsey at F. And yeah, I'd really just go crazy and play Jones out of position...
thanks for the bump. I don't think any position has been so consistently mischaracterized (accidentally or not) as Holden at RM.
Am totally on board with Marko's post. I don't think we have to take risks to win this GC. Agree completely. And interesting thoughts on the...
The request that was made of you a couple pages back by another unreasonable poster (i.e. someone who seemed to agree with me in substantial part)...
Thanks for the bump. Yeah, having Davies back would really be great, and I'd be much more cool with (a) Clint at RM and (b) letting CM sort...
I really don't know any more how many times I have to say you can do what you want in July. Once the (important) GC is done, take 2 years and try...
But Holden at RM isn't some emergency, stop-gap, holy-cow-everyone-else-is-hurt kind of positioning. Out of position has this negative...
Because he had the luxury, or the necessity?
OK, are we going to get lost in semantics here? "Out of position" has a negative connotation that a player is in a different position due to...
For the immediate future, the answer is we already know what Holden can do at RM. Playing him there is not playing him out of position. (I know...
All well said, along with the rest that I clipped for brevity. I think the operative part of your comments above is "could potentially." That...
Request for the next five months*: Anyone calling for Donovan - Jones/Edu - Holden - Dempsey across the midfield in any 4-4-2, please also...
Is Donovan a better CM than Bradley? We play LD out wide. And your reference to Holden as a central player is begging the question, isn't it?...
If your Saturday evening is so slow that you're resorting to a Bradley troll (you? seriously?), could I ask you to take a look at the question I...
Which two fwds do you have in mind?
Your line-up for the Gold Cup. Please post it. Assume everyone but Davies is available.
You're right, of course. Donovan was captain for the first rounds of the Confed Cup, but Bocanegra returned for the later rounds and WC. Thanks...
Why would I value your opinion on in-depth discussions (your obvious straw man aside) if you get the simple things wrong? Anyway, what's your...
Your opinions might get a bit more respect if you knew how to spell Landon's surname. Honestly, how do you come on a US soccer forum, misspell...
I think for many of us, it's simply not (just) about Holden's ability at CM. To recap this general thought process, it's that at present: Any...
Didn't you make this same tasteless comment a few months back? Crap on the guy if you think his game isn't good enough, fine (and most here would...
They should have no trouble qualifying from their special FIFA-arranged group of England, Germany, Russia, Turkey, and the Faroe Islands. And the...
And the German WC should have been exclusively in Nordrhein-Westfalen. :rolleyes: Why even consider Berlin or Munich? Sure, because it's not as...
This, this, this. Any existing rule should be considered dispensable as soon as it proves problematic. "We'll rotate continents to ensure cups...
