DaMarcus Beasley and Eddie Johnson used to be the go to guys for Bob Bradley in their individual positions. However, Beasley, the speedy left winger, has recently had a drop in form. To make matters worse for the Glasgow Ranger, Eddie Lewis' performance has been quite noticeable as of late, with a goal against Barbados in that 1-0 game. Its ironic seeing as how Eddie Lewis' hopes of playing time were being threatened by Beasley's performance just 1 or 2 years ago. Lewis even tried to find sanctuary at the left back position but with Heath Pearce's performances there, it wasn't likely Lewis would find any where other than the substitute bench. Now the tables have turned and I HIGHLY doubt Beasley is even going to think of asking Pearce for his position there.
Eddie Johnson, the ambidextrous Fulham and former Kansas City Wizards striker, had drawn the attention of many clubs. He even had clubs in La Liga interested in his transfer. Right now though, he has had competition at that position and, unlike Clint Dempsey, another competitor for the forward spot, he lacks the versatility to play in the midfield area. Competition from the above as well as, Brian Ching( Houston Dynamo) Landon Donovan(Los Angeles Galaxy) and even Jozy Altidore(Villareal C.F.) has Johnsons chances as a striker looking dim.
So what do these players do? Beasley is fresh of a knee surgery so he is just getting used to moving again. Johnson transfered to Fulham in January and is still getting used to the enviroment. is it possible that these two might see more of the game from the bench than from the pitch?
