Some things I would like to see in upcoming friendlies: 1) Onyewu and Spector need to continue getting more international experience. Get Robbie Russell and Chad Marshall some games to see if they can help our depth. 2) Dempsey, Martino, Gaven, Clark, and Mullan all need to get minutes in upcoming friendlies. All of these guys are talented enough to upgrade our midfield in some capacity. 3) Test Eddie Johnson in tandem with some different players. Ching-Johnson, Twellman-Johnson, and Eskandarian/Buddle-Johnson. All of these have the potential to be deadly forward pairings in the future.
The good news is that as the quality of Nats players continues to improve both with respect to individuals and positional depth, these scenarios are surely getting a lot of valuable attention in the camps. We don't get to see the various combos, but the coaches and players sure do. And, I'd still like to know who the other players were who did not make the roster for last night's game.
