Benny Feilhaber Looks To Be A Good Fit With New England Revolution
Well, the Benny Feilhaber saga has at least come ... well ... somewhere. He has been claimed by the New England Revolution, but they are supposedly trying to trade him and the Houston Dynamo look to be the team most interested in acquiring his services.
In the meantime, though, let's at least assume he's going to play for the Revolution. The Bent Musket, SB Nation's New England Revolution blog, certainly would like that to be the case and is already imagining a three-man midfield that features Feilhaber playing in front of Ousmane Dabo and Shalrie Joseph:
Doesn’t that look nice? Shalrie Joseph finally won’t have the burden of ball-winner AND creator heaped on his shoulders; he and Dabo can focus on plugging passing lanes, winning the ball and spraying passes from a deeper position, and can pick and choose their spots to make late runs forward and score.
But even if Steve Nicol doesn’t stick with his preferred 4-3-3, it seems like Feilhaber could fit in nicely as a wide midfielder in a 4-4-2. Is it much excitement too soon? We’ll see.
