I don't think Jones was particularly good the other not. Too many conservative horizontal and backwards passes. Several times he contemplated making diagonals to Pulisic but gave up.

I think Pulisic is lost a bit in the middle.  He shines on the flanks and creating from there.  Maybe down the line he can play there but his game isn't there yet.  We need a true Center Attacking Mid like Sacha or Benny Feilhaber.  Guys that live to deliver that final ball or arrive late in the box to finish off a loose ball.

Michael Bradley is not that. Jermaine Jones is a box to box destroyer. The only true attacking center mids that we have had in camp lately are Sacha and Lee Nguyen. Bedoya is a not really that, he's not a #10.

For tonight's match, I really think we can see Pulisic romp IF Costa Rica isn't pressing.  They don't typically press so if they give him a little room, he could really be a nightmare. Hopefully Sacha is ready to go as well.
