jpg75 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 That was just soooo frustrating. C'mon guys, let's pass that ball around a little more and build some momentum. De Jong in for Kluks and Occean in for Bernier to go 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 OK here is what Mitchell needs to do in second half. We are trying to attack on wings which against this team is a good strategy, but the wingers aren't quick enough or skilled enough to get in the crosses, and Hume is too small to get his head on them. We need to 1. Insert Occean for Hume. Need physical presence to hold up the ball. 2. Insert DeJong for Simpson. Hate to say it, but Josh is being physically overmatched. Not sure if DeJong will do better, but we need to find out in a Friendly, not in WCQ. 3. Insert Issey for Radz. I think Radz is starting to show his age a little. He'll be OK against Central American sides, but I think he no longer has the physical skills to compete with a team like this. Keep trying the wing play. When we get possession with our D, we should also be looking to play direct, either straight upfield to the head of Occean, or else down the wing, where we can take advantage of our pace, especially Issey, who IMHO is one of the fastest and most technically gifted guys on the team. As the game wears on, if we are still down a goal or two, start pushing McKenna up to a withdrawn striker position. Go for broke, keep pumping balls into the box for McKenna or Occean. As needed, Bernier can fall back to help out the D. Not sure if we are allowed a fourth sub, but if so, then we bring on Johnson for Bernier in the dying minutes, push Hutchinson and Stalteri into the box, and hope...

villus Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Get Simpson out of there he is playing horrid. Is Issey with us, I'm not sure if he is but I would rahter he get the nod at left mid then Simpson, is Simpson even getting games at Kaiser? Also I dont know why Mitchell put Hume as the lone striker clearly this is'nt his position and it scares me that Mitchell can't see that, should be OO up front today if you are going to play a lone stiker you need someone thats good in the air and can hold the ball up. We are building along the left and trying to get crosses in to Hume, Radzinski and Simpson none of these players are good in the air I have to question the tactics chosen by Mitchell. Obviously Stalteri is playing like ass as well, and overall we need more movement and quick passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 It's a 90 minute game and RSA have spent whack of energy so far, positive energy true, that hurts the legs less but we'll see. Someone in red has to step up. Show some guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villus Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 If we can get back in this game and tie it up I think it would do wonders for the team, showing resiliance and heart in the second half starting out down 2-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 70 minutes in and we get our 1st decent chance. Think Bernier has played fairly well but that last give away puts Canada at exactly 100 unforced give aways. Which of course begs the question... Are you drunk?
