TGAA_Star Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Actually in your lineup, I would take out Cavallini as your out and out striker and put David in that position...so David would be your CF and at CAM I would bring on Mark Anthony Kaye but other than that everything else I agree with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'd run a 5-3-2. Hoilett/Kaye/Eustaqio would be the go to substitutions. I like ZBG more than Layrea. But either is fine. I think Waterman will be a constant piece going forward and I think the likes of Zator and Didic will be a part of the defense too.

Is he officially/seriously switched etc or is it one of those, I'm open to calls kind of thing?? To my knowledge he was officially going to be called up in March and had the roster been released he would have been on it.

Canada doesn't use one and the closest in MF is Osorio since David either plays a striker or as a winger in Herdman's system.

H Imo I find this roster a bit on the weaker side, Didic while good isn't good enough to replace Henry/Vitoria, I like Oso and Piette but I feel that moving Arfield to the CAM position and playing Kaye and Eustaquio behind him would be stronger. Alternatively playing Arfield as the CAM and playing Oso and Eustaquio/Kaye as the holding midfielders would work as well.

Cornelius and Waterman are ball playing centre backs with enough speed and athleticism to provide protection for Didic, who can win everything in the air. They are all around the same age so they can build chemistry over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that Didic needs to move up a level, I think his style of play is perfect for that position in the heart of the back 3. That said, this position may also suit Henry and encourage him to play more conservatively as he'd be the last line of defense. Like Didic, he is great in the air and is a leader, except he plays at a higher level, so I don't have problem with Didic being the understudy. Those other spots really suit Cornelius and Waterman. Miller can fill in on the left for Cornelius and perhaps Zator on the right. Nate3322, N1ckbr0wn and CANMNT_SUPERFAN 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cronaldo7 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Rewatched the highlights of the 4-1 loss against US (don’t ask me why) and couldn’t help but think Vitoria and Henry were at fault (or shared the fault) for a few of the goals. I think Cornelius and Vitoria gotta be the pair given they impressed in a few games together. Henry has looked good on paper many times in his career and has done OK at club level but I’ve always felt he has been borderline brutal for the national team. But I think Herdman sticks with him none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to pair Cornelius with who ever looks better. cronaldo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what do you mean especially Cavallini? The guy is easily our best target man, he's scored against Mexico, the US, Haiti. Not to mention he's had a pretty good club career so far. Automatic starter in my opinion. Club Linesman, Fresh Prince of MTL, Alex and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think it's good to have a striker that pulls defenders around the field so players like David can exploit the spaces created by that person. I think they complement each other well dyslexic nam, Trois Reds, MtlMario and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
