Jeremy Loome Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Mo says he's switching to a 442 now because of the new signings. lineup suggestions? I'd go with Eskandarian Welsh Brennan Nagamura Robinson O'Brien/Canizales Poz Reda Boyens Wynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadiense Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Well since u asked, and it might give more blind optimism. I would go with: GK) Sutton RB) Braz CB) Boyens CB) Reda LB) Pozniak (if healthy) RM) Nagamura CM) Robinson CM) Mulrooney LM) Brennan RS) Ibrahim / Lombardo LF) Eskandarian I would like to see more "latin" players in the roster, people from Portugal / Italy / Latin America (not Nagamura or Canizalez), so that there could be more ball control in the middle of the park. A lot of teams have signed major latin players to their rosters: Red Bulls -> J. Angel Crew -> G. Schelotto Fire -> C. Blanco Rapids -> H. Gomez DC -> Emilio Chivas -> A. Guevara Dallas -> R. Nuñez Real -> F. Adu Revs -> S. Joseph KC -> D. Arnaud Galaxy -> Donovan, ... well I guess Becks Houston -> DeRo I guess we are lacking that player in the middle of the park that can acutally pass the ball in difficult situations, with decent vision and ball skills. I just wish Mo would drop that "Brit / Scot" style of play which does not work here in the Americas, and thus MLS. ...etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest speedmonk42 Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Isn't the next game on a Wednesday? Or am I missing somethin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 You aren't missing anything, the next game for us is Wednesday April 25th, followed by the home opener 3 days later on Sat. April 28th. Both against Kansas City. I've posted this line-up on two other boards, might as well make it a hat-trick: Strikers - take your pick from the glut of six Brennan Edu/Nagamura Robinson O'Brien (Canizalez while O'Brien is injured) Pozniak/Goldthwaite Reda Braz Wynne Sutton It's difficult to judge who should start in a couple of cases because I've never seen the player play before (ie. Edu & Goldthwaite) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadiense Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Wow... I thought I was going to get bashed for suggesting to get a "latin" style player. I just feel that with the investments that other clubs are doing in MLS, TFC should also follow their lead. Mo's mentallity is way to "scottish", even Steve Nicol @ NE, was able to get their players to play more of a possesion style of play. Nicol understands the league now, and the fact that in the Americas (including the states) the game is about speed and possession. TFC must also take this mentallity into account, but as long as Mo is in charge, that is not going to change due to his background in tactics.

Canuck Oranje Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 While I still question the signing of Dichio, especially if it is for three years as suggested by some reports, I do like the change to 4-4-2 with the addition of Wynne and Goldthwaite. On the signing of Latin players in MLS, it probably has more to do with economics than anything. Mo needs to build his network into Latin America because he would get a lot more quality there for what he is likely having to pay Dichio. Maybe the new Canadian Head Coach, who remains nameless, can help him with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
