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

4-3-3 or 4-4-2 make the most sense because having a back 3 you easily get exposed with a back three on counter attack...whereas back four they don't catch you as much on that counter attack especially when they have possession

There was a heat warning here and we broke temperature records but the slightly superstitious part of me feels like I should throw on the flannel lumberjack supporters shirt just in case.

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. 

I feel like that might be a bit harsh... More like, Johnston, a consistently good MLS starting right back... and Kennedy, a player who just finished his first good year in the 2. Bundesliga after years in lower division Austria... I don't think it's that bad of a situation, lets get this done. 

[BrennanFan]

Larin - - - - - David - - - - - Davies

Osorio - - - - Piette - - - - Eustaquio 

Laryea - - Kennedy - - Henry--Johnston 

Borjan

 

I think we gotta have Laryea and Davies on opposite sides of the pitch for proper width, and Davies on the right makes more sense than Johnston on the left.

but I'm wearing my white Canada jersey. Do you mean I should put on a random red shirt?

I'm surprised to see Osorio over Kaye tbh.

Done.  I may pass out from heat stroke, but I put it on.

I still have my doubts that this is how we lineup. Johnston is not a CB

3-2-1-2-2 if you want to be super technical

[Colliedor]

Yaaa now I'm a little concerned about Johnston's position if this is true. I don't know how well he can be in that kind of role.

I’ve made a point of my fear of Herdman overthinking and outcoaching himself. I hope that doesn’t happen....

Probably a bit of both. 
 

3-5-2 in attack. 
5-3-2 in defence. 
 

With probably our two fastest guys (aside from Millar) on those mobile wings because we know they can get up and back depending on where they are needed.

Seems like he's going to be like Kyle Walker, and Johnston is a defense first fullback so I think this works for him.

I worked with a few people of Guyanese descent when I lived in London. They're definitely more Caribbean than South American culturally. They were as big on the Notting Hill Carnival as our colleagues of Jamaican and Bahamian descent.

Herdman has played Adekugbe in this role on the left as well. I think that's exactly what we are going to see.

The guys I play with are mostly from the West Indies with a large Guyanese contingent. My impression is Guyana at least considers themselves part of the Caribbean, they sure talk a lot like them and they can understand the Jamaicans which is more than I can say a lot of the time😄
