USS, that's kind of why I don't get your anti-Kljestan stance. At least guy can put together a forward pass. Jones, Williams, Edu, Beckerman...none can really string together a forward pass or combine with the wings to get forward. Spacing has also been a huge issue under JK. Bob Bradley was pragmatic and played to our strengths, Donovan and Dempsey cutting in from the wings (ironically enough the player that suffered the most was his son who was forced to play deeper), but from a combination of tactical ineptitude and not having a first choice squad consistently (Bradley was very fortunate with player health over his tenure) has led to JK's administration being over a year in and still seeming like he has no idea what his best 11 is. If we aren't able to play a high defensive line and our wing backs are pinned in their defensive third, we have zero width and playing through the middle is impossible without Bradley and a pairing with another center mid who can ping a pass like Holden or Kljestan.
