WCQ: Canada vs Suriname - Tuesday, June 8th, 9:05pm Eastern/6:05pm Pacific - SeatGeek Stadium, Chicago

[PopePouri]

Yeah predicted it on my end. I thought they might put Corbeanu on the right, but Herdman seems married to the "adaptive shape" .

I'm going to assume in defense

------------David-------Larin-------------
---Osorio-----Eustaquio---Piette-----Laryea
---Davies----Kennedy----Henry---Johnston

in possession...

------------------David-------------------
----------Osorio----------Larin-------------
-Davies-------Eustaquio---Piette-----Laryea
-------Kennedy----Henry---Johnston------

Now let's get the scoreline everyone is expecting too.  A goal within the first 15 would do my tummy a world of good...

4-1 Canada (David 2, Osorio and Cavallini)

[SpursFlu]

I think Laryea or Johnston is playing LB

[Aird25]

Davies and Larin as inverted forwards, right?

Being reported as a 3-5-2 formation, Johnston as RCB.. I’m all for 3-5-2 going forward but to use it for the first time in such a crucial game does make me nervous, specially with Johnston being a natural RB. Nonetheless let’s get the job done lads!!

[badname22]

I'm expecting a 433 with Larin on the right but a 442 makes a lot of sense too and the 3atb concept looks gnarly

[spinrack]

Would prefer Cavallini to start, but he'll make a good impact substitution.

Not what I predicted but could plausibly happen. My thoughts are that Laryea will be a left back behind Davies to give Davies more freedom to roam with cover behind him.

Feeling a lot better after seeing this lineup vs ours.. I think Piette marks Chery and we overrun their midfield with just better ballers in Oso and Eusta. Good luck defending Richie and Alphonso without Becker and Bisewar having to hold back most of the game. I think they might have to risk it and just have Becker play high as a speed threat and leave us to overload with Larin, Davies and Oso on that side of the pitch.

A lot of guys in this Suriname team are going to need to step it up a lot of levels to compete with us here.

Lets get it. 

[gator]

I think Laryea will be LB and Johnston on the right, a three in the middle of Oso, Piette and Eustaqio and Davies, Larin and David an enterprising front 3!

I thought that was just Oli Platt's speculation?

Bit random, but why is Suriname in CONCACAF instead of COMENBOL if it's actually in South America?

Cavallini Buchanan and Kaye/ Wotherspoon as subs is amazing

[PopePouri]

If Laryea's at LB, we have no width on the right. 

[apbsmith]

Looks like almost the similar set up we used with USA at home. 

Attack one formation, defend the other. 

In my opinion @PopePouri nailed it. 

Love this lineup btw!

let's go!!!!

Edit: he may not have 100% nailed it with player's position but formation wise I think he did. Time will tell!

player in different spot

[Colliedor]

If Larin is playing on the right and plans on being more "tucked in", would make more sense to play Laryea at RB no? He's probably going to play on the left unless there's something about Johnson we don't know about.

Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana are culturally very much Caribbean nations.

I don't think that's it. More likely....

Johnston. Another Herdman pet project, like Godinho before him. Let's hope it works out this time. 

Kennedy with his first cap, when we have been calling for him to be part of the program for 2 years, and Herdman just recently decides he's good enough. 

Alright, it is what it is. Let's just move forward and get the job done.

Whatever that means....
There's been a lot of Venezuelans that have migrated to Guyana and T&T.

I think "culturally" just means spanish speaking.

Makes sense and let's you defend 4-4-2, which let's Davies drop back to the LM leaving Larin and David up top.

Interesting if true. There is so much rotation and shifting in possession and out of it, so there will be variations, but I love the discussion.

That is possibly true, but I think it comes down to priorities. I prefer Laryea behind Davies so Davies has a much more of a free role to operate (and hopefully pin Becker back a bit).

I don't know what it means; I'm just parroting what is said by those countries
