They just said Cyle Larin at LB - I assume they meant Davies, no?

I think the poor field and the absence of Hoilett are the major factors.

DR beating ES would be huge for us, right?

Would be very helpful, Curacao tying is helpful too.

"Meant" implies that they knew what they were talking about in the first place.

Ok enough experimenting, get Larin, Johnson and Wotherspoon out. We need goal differential. In with Millar, Osorio and Akindele now!

The context was that they were discussing Davies at LB, then said Larin had played there, too. We can only assume they actually meant MAK, but fucked it up.

I wasn't a fan of wholesale changes, and this game is demonstrating why.

They were actually discussing MAK at LB, they never mentioned Davies played there so I think that’s who they meant.

Sorry is it just me or is MAK quiet!?!

[Scottie]

I'd take Larin off at the half for Millar, put Millar on the right flank and move David to the middle.

Johnson to the left, Wotherspoon to the right...

[dyslexic nam]

We just straight up look like shit.

In dont know if it is the changes, the heat, overconfidence, or just the fact that we are mot finding our groove,but we look nothing like we did in the home leg.  

It’s probably a combination of the things you mention but also our opponent has adjusted and are probably tired of losing by big scores. They are a team trying to improve and have pride. We may not get 6 today but we should be able to break them down a couple more times. Hopefully they give the U.S. a difficult time.

Given the starting 11 and formation chosen, this one move would be the best way to get back to an effective shape IMO.

Thank you Dominican Republic 

 

[Razcal]

What a terrible half. Better pick it up second half.

[JamboAl]

No easy (away) games in CONCACAF.

[Shway]

Wootherspoon has been dreadful, Johnson has seen non existent, and Kaye is trying to be himself but it ain't working.

The person most affected by our middle shape is Larin

[devioustrevor]

We have nobody in the centre of the park to run at defenders when they have the ball.  Empty possession.

[Bison44]

Well that was ugly.....but it could be wayyyy worse.  1-0, keep going, the worm will turn.  

[SkuseisLoose]

We’re playing a lot like the st kitts and Nevis game.

[spitfire]

If I’m being honest it’s all a bit to slow I mean moving the ball around at too casual a pace. Zip it around change the point of attack that’s how we break them down. All to predictable too not much movement up front and David isolated out on the right. Maybe David Larin and Davies should rotate more??  Need to get MAK on the ball to try to break them down. I’m not saying it’s easy withthem playing so deep. Just my observation...

They probably don't know the players names very well and are calling off of a tv monitor.

I understand, it’s clear they did very little prep.

Anyone know what this does to the concacaf standings?

Geez, i’m biting my nails here. I didn’t expect the game to be this close. Cuba is still in it, it’ll hurt if we mess this up.

[Mikmacdo]

Bring liam in for wotherspoon. Go to a 4-2-3-1 with david as the ten. Sub Osorio in for Johnson at somepoint and get Cordova in.
