Vince193 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Tomer Chencinski is the only keeper playing regularly in a top flight league. Not good enough for a call-up apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's partially because we now have Haber, who is further down the pecking order. I think most people on the board would take Ricketts over Haber at this point. Neither are ideal.

Obinna Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I don't want Hainault anywhere near the field in Honduras. The image of him getting nut-megged on the 4th goal has been seared into my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 We are missing a ton of leadership without deGuzman and Johnson. We are going with a brand new midfield in our most important game. None of our CBs are playing at a high level. Our RB is no RB and is coming off an injury. Our most creative player is without a club and not in game shape. Does that about cover the downside?

Alex Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Positives: we have Arfield and Hutchinson both playing at a high level, they've never seen Arfield. Jackson, Akindele, Larin and ricketts are scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Another positive: De Guzman, as much as I respect his career and contributions, was bad in all but one of the previous WCQs. He's done, sadly. Even a CB (Edgar) in his spot may be an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstyles11 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 That is an obscene number of defenders. How about this? Borjan Henry Vitoria Jakovic Hainault Edgar Straith Arfield Hutchinson Hoilett Larin He doesn't play this formation but how about a back 6 hahaha. I can't think of a way to get more CBs on the field without sacrificing our best players. I sacrificed de jong for MORE defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcalibre Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 As much as I hate to say it, this team will get slaughtered in Honduras. Floro is going for a 0-0 away and a 1-0 at home on a Ricketts break and it's not going to be pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Predicted starting XI: ------------------Borjan------------------ Henry---Jakovic---Vitoria---De Jong ---------------Hutchinson----------------- Ricketts--Arfield---Edgar---Hoilett -----------------*Larin---------------------- * I could also see Larin on the bench, Ricketts at CF and Akindele on the wing. That would be the same line up that beat Uzbekistan I believe. Larin sat on the bench in that game and also against Azerbaijan in favour of Ricketts. I don't recall any report of a Larin injury, so that was a tactical move. Ricketts has a strong work ethic and has looked good for TFC. Can anyone else see that happening?
