Portland is an exceptional counter attacking team, so missing Bravo will hurt. However, Portland's field is small. Not as small as YS but still small. So having someone else in place of Bravo that passes the ball better is important. I would put Mix as a quasi CDM/CM along with Lopez. Have Pirlo above them with TMAC and have Villa and Shelton up top.
Oh and start EJ over Saunders lol.....

Why is Connor Brandt still on our roster?
Because a team doesn't cut an injured player and he's young, has a low cap hit, and they want to evaluate his potential when not hurt. A botched surgery wasn't his fault and it took a follow up surgery after the first made the injury worse.
Bravo will be back in his spot next to pirlo. That's not where mix should be. Mikey should be moved there for Portland and mix should take his spot. And then take his spot again Wednesday.
Yeah doesn't count against the cap at all.
You mean miss Wednesday because of a yellow card suspension.

I thought this was interesting. PV said he is bringing the whole team to all three games because new players who don't usually get a start will have a chance.

Both key pieces. Makes the task at hand slightly easier.
When we win tomorrow we'll be #2 in the East.
A great goal scorer and a great man. Lampard should have given the man his paycheck for the week.

Unless we blow Portland out with a 10-2 win. Then we will be #1 in league
The MLS Game Guide has our probable lineup looking like this...
------------Mendoza--Villa--Shelton----
------------McNamara----Mix-----------
------------------------Pirlo---------------
-Mataritta-Hernandez-Brillant-Iraola-
---------------------Saunders-------------

Whoa have to admit that I hadn't entertained this configuration at all. If we do start like this, it's ballsy as fuck.
