After the departure of Juninho, one of the biggest questions going into next season is who will be paired with Steven Gerrard in the midfield. With guys like Baggio Husidic, Rafael Garcia and Sebastian Lletget (CM being arguably Lletget's natural position), Bruce Arena was not without options. With the recent signing of Jeff Larentowicz, Arena has given himself and the team, yet another.
While Jeff Larentowicz has spent the majority of his MLS career playing as a defensive midfielder, 68% of his minutes over the last two years have come at center back.
