Floortom Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Larson thinks that based on training this will be our lineup: Hoilett - Larin - Tos Edgar - Hutch - Piette DeJong - Vitoria - James - Dixon pretty crazy if true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Jong is obvious. Dixon puzzling. CB was always going to be weird with so many on the roster but none lighting the world on fire. If this is the lineup (and I don't really think it is) I'm glad Jakovic and Hainault aren't in it, and Henry isn't being started out of position at RB (though that is, again the position where we don't even have adequate options).

Obinna Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 That seems like most of the starters with other options being worked in to see how they fit. Dixon might make a good RB but I'd bet my house he wouldn't start. Vitoria and James could be a thing. I think the front 3 is also a thing but I'd be surprised if Arfield wasn't in for Edgar or Piette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinrack Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 The timing of this match is somewhat bizarre. A kickoff of 4pm local time seems quite early. It's like CONCACAF doesn't want the majority of the Canadian audience to see the game, as most of us will be at work, or just barely finished for the day.

But literally the only reason it is scheduled at this time is to force Canada to play during the hottest part of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honduras is just playing the home field advantage to their advantage hoping the heat gets to Canada and drags them down. It's like the game in Vancouver with the dome open in 40-50 weather or that US qualifier from a few years ago that was in a snow storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure blows my theory out of the water that Floro wants continuity and familiarity with his back line in particular as well as his whole team in general regarding his team selections.

tarnado1555362291 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Floro is bluffing in front of the Honduran media presence......does anyone really believe we will see a 4-3-3........I think Ledgerwood is more likely at right back than Dixon.

mpg_29 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Well who knows what the actual lineup will be but..I kinda understand it from a strategy/tactical point of view. You have 3 forwards but also have pretty defensive-oriented midfield with Edgar, Hutch and Piette. So it's really a back 7 with 3 forwards in Hoilett, Larin and Ricketts.

He mentions that Jamar Dixon is apparently very fast and versatile (can play numerous positions). Seems that our focus is on holding defensive shape, to avoid a meltdown. https://twitter.com/gavinlday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
