Episode 37: Who can be the 10 in this 4-2-3-1? And Atlanta United 2 Coach Scott Donnelly joins the pod

The 4-3-2-1 seems to work better than the 4-1-4-1, but nobody’s
claimed the central advanced midfield role. We run through the
candidates, and the future candidates, for the job. Then we
discuss the U.S. U20 roster for the Concacaf Championship, and
then, best of all, Atlanta United 2 Coach Scott Donnelly joins to
talk about coaching in USL, George Bello, Andrew Carleton, and
USL as a place for young players to develop. Long episode. Please
make use of the show notes to get what you want from it.
