jonovision Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 My first thought is about who will be paired with Hainault to complete the back four (Jazic, Hainault, ?? and Stalteri). Options would include, in descending order (in terms of my preference) Serioux, Brennan, Pozniak, Imhof (let's hope not) and Hutchinson (please stop listing him as D/M. He's M/F with his club).

Is Jazic going to be cleared to play? He's missed the last couple of games for LA with some kind of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched Brennan at CB all season, I have to say that I'd love to see him in that role for the national team. quote:Originally posted by Free kick Did you guys do the physiostar chant?

loyola Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I agree with the idea of starting Brennan as a CB with Hainault. I would have this starting lineup: ------------------Hirsch------------------ Stalteri---Hainault---Brennan-----Jazic Radz------Atiba-------DeGuzman-----DeRo --------Occean---------Hume---------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and I also switched Hainault and Brennan since Brennan is a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Radz hasn't played all season. Hume is late sub only in my books - walking talking red card against any CONCACAF team. Lineup Hirschfeld Stalteri - Hainault - Jazic Imhof Bernier de Guzman - Hutchinson - de Rosario Friend - Occean Although I suspect Jazic will be unavailable - put in Brennan. Gerba, Nakajima and Hume for subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll likely see Atiba there. Probably going to be Brennan or one of Poz & Serioux. Harmse, Poz, Serioux and Imhof are all contenders for the d-mid position in a 5 man midfield, and while we might see two at that position (one per half) I doubt all four will feature there. Poz & Hainault played together against Hungary. Hainault might not automatically start either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Garrett Kusch played in the PCSL this season, for Peace Arch United. He is is as much the bull as ever :-) In everyday life he practices as a chiropractor in South Surrey, BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadasBest Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I like this roster. I'm very much looking forward to the game. I was pleasantly surprised to see both Hutchinson and deGuzman getting the call up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David C. Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Without being able to resolve a centre-back pairing, I would be intrigued to see Hart's 4-1-4-1 formation again, with Brennan in Nash's windscreen/distributor role. -----------1/2 to each GK--------------- Stalteri-----RCB-------LCB---------Jazic ---------------Brennan------------------ deRosario---Hutch---deGuzman---Radzinski ---------------Friend------------------- Guess that leaves Imhof, Pozniak and Hainault as my centre-back options. I'm not too crazy about Serioux back there; he strikes me as a forechecker, rather than a stay-back kind of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Although I have no problem with Loyola's lineup, I like that Gold Cup 4-1-4-1 ..............Hirschfeld Stalteri....Hainault.....Brennan.....Jazic (if healthy) .............Bernier Hume.......DeGuzman......Hutchinson.....DeRosario .............Occean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 There's almost enough players for two teams, so: Hirshfeld Stalteri-Hainault-Brennan-Jazic Imhof Radzinski-DeGuzman-Hutchinson-De Ro Friend 2nd half (not to start with, but as it wears on): Stamatopolous Pozniak-Serioux-Brennan-Jazic Harmse Bernier-De Guzman-Atiba-Issey Occean With Hume and Gerba brought on in the 2nd half as well, taking De Guzman and/or Atiba off, moving to a 4-4-2. Of course, if Jazic isn't good to go, then use Pozniak or Brennan at Left-back and go with Serioux in central D alongside Hainault, leaving Stalteri on the whole game. Wouldn't mind seeing what Imhof or Harmse might do at right back (Harmse played there for the U20's in 2003 under Mitchell until he moved him up to central mid to replace Atiba who he moved to central-D in order to shore up the back-line. Once again, a heavy attack-minded line-up. There are a lot more offensive options than defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot more offensive options than defensive. have we EVER had the pleasure of reading a statement like the one above about any Canadian team???? Growing up, all i ever remember thinking was "how can we not give up a goal". Now I wonder how many we might score if the planets align...2 goals, 3 goals, 4 goals. I sure hope its a lively game. We TFC fans have a lot of pent up cheering in us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Boy. Not quite sure what to say. Might have to check and see how badly the VISA is hurting these days. Okay, two things. Don't seem to be too many players balking at a call up to play in Toronto does there. I mean Radz of all people has NO business coming to this international and yet here he is. Wow. And Mitch isn't pricking around here is he. This is at least a strong B+ squad. What's the MNT scoring streak at right now? Six matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Quick thoughts : great lineup, lots of offense...Hastings has to be miffed - Radz is showing real dedication having just switched clubs - if Hirsch isnt here for this one he should be officially removed from the player pool - Great looking game shaping up. Wish I was still visiting in Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Neil Davidson article with explanations on why McKenna, Klukowski & Nsaliwa weren't called: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Soccer/Canada/2007/09/05/4472855-cp.html So it is a citizenship issue with Tam, not a club issue. When you add the injured players (Ledgerwood, Simpson, Grande Sutton, Hastings) and the fringier players (Braz, Ademolu, Reda, Nash, Gervais, Grande), younger players not yet ready (the better U20 players) and older players we've already had a look at (ie. Onstad) I think that just leaves the question of Marcel De Jong.... Oh, and the the article's last line suggests that Radzinski is playing for the Ticos. Traitor!
