SeanKeay Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Shameless Plus Alert, but the last 7-8 min Stephen Hart talks Canada vs. Panama tactics http://youtu.be/lIWbnOffeX4?t=18m1s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 He mentioned that he has more confidence in one of the two HB positions to provide the needed width that he needs against a side like Panama. But he expressedly stated that he didnt want so say which of the two sides he had less or more confidence in as far as that aspect of the game. My guess is that its the LB position that is stronger in that aspect of the game. Even though our only goal scored so far occurred as result of an RB cross.

madmonte Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks for that, I love formation geek stuff, I'm gonna go watch it right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The way he speaks at 23:20 seems to indicate he's still strongly considering Jazic at LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 No surprises with his tactics. Compact midfield allowing for effective defensive pressure in that area of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditty Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Given that he hinted elsewhere that the back 4 will remain unchanged, I took it that he was actually referring to Jazic at LB as the stay at home fullback. I have a sense that we will see de Jong pushed further up the pitch tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I really think he is going to go with De Jong at LB after watching that. If he presses further up the field I hope we don't get caught on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And right, pushing that far up the pitch, which of our defenders is supposed to have the pace to defend the through ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 No surprises with his tactics. Compact midfield allowing for effective defensive pressure in that area of the pitch. We executed the game plan really well in that department, apart from a stretch in the second half. Most importantly, we great the latter stages of the match, with 2 or even 3 guys closing down the space of a Panamanian player in possession. Great job!
