Big weekends for McKennie, Adams and Reyna, and a lot of people think they should be our three-man midfield. Not so fast, says Greg Velasquez. We go deep in the weeds on the midfield setup, Reyna’s and Adams’s best roles, and the knock-on lineup effects of playing them in various ways.

In this episode, the guys look at whether MLS teams can be considered overly reliant on one player, as well as some Americans Abroad and the future USMNT players you should be keeping an eye on and the staggering number of red cards that MLS referees seem to dish out.
