The good news is that there are more players who apparently are interested in joining that aren't on this team, particularly Riedewald from Crystal Palace. The big one joining is Union Berlin's Sheraldo Becker. He's one to watch for sure. Although I believe he is coming off an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGAA_Star Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 As long as we beat Aruba and let's say Suriname beats Bermuda and then it comes down to final matchday we would have to play for a win in this scenario Or another scenario we beat Aruba and Suriname either loses or draws with Bermuda Then on final match day all we would need is a win or draw and we're in Either way, I'm just looking for wins in both games because then we build even more momentum that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's why you can bet a lot of Canadians will be looking to or paying attention to the results of the Suriname/Bermuda match CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I just hope we are strong defending set pieces vs Suriname as we should have the majority of possession. We need to score the first goal relatively early. Never good playing for a draw, but we can still be conservative with our back 6 TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 The only time this Canada squad has looked comfortable is with their foot on the gas. Playing a counter style would be a recipe for disaster IMO. Even if we go up by 1 or 2 we just need to keep pushing and avoid a Haiti '19.

Obinna Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I have a weird feeling the way this game will play out is that Suriname will give us a scare by drawing level or taking a lead, but then we'll storm back and win by multiple goals. Something like 3-1 or 4-1. ghostknownunknown and TGAA_Star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Mexico game Herdman left out David/Arfield/Oso... not sure it would have made a difference if we attacked more without them. In the Haiti game we didn't play that well in the first half although being up by 2. No tactical adjustment at the half or after they targeted Godinho. It was 2 moments of madness and then panic by the gaffer in removing Cav/Oso and pushing Davies back . I do agree that the strength of this team is our attackers and mids and that would suggest playing attacking footie. I just would like to see that success for more than the 1 game vs the US johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We pushed the fullbacks forward aggressively in the first half with Davies and Laryea getting caught way up the pitch and the US punishing us on the counter.

apbsmith Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Maybe we analyzed the games differently, fairly certain we went gas pedal down vs US away.... Result did not end well for us. US at home I felt it was fairly balanced( yes a bit more attacking) , just played with a very high level of intensity and pressure. Our 2nd goal was definitely Cav hitting USA on the counter. Anyways as for vs Suriname, I definitely think we should not be absorbing pressure and sitting back. We have enough talent in our front end to score and break them down.

Against the better teams, we should give a nod to being a bit more pragmatic with our tactics. US at home was the right idea, US away was a pretty naive setup.

We have enough talent in our front end to score and break them down. Agreed, I definitely felt like we tried to play a more counter attacking game against USA at home. Then, we tried to take the game to USA away. I just looked up the possession stats to see if they back up what I remember. We had 43% possession at home (the win) and 64% possession away (the loss). Small sample size, but it matches what I think our strategy should be against stronger teams, which is use our pace to beat the on the counter. Against Suriname, we should be much better than them in midfield, so I imagine the plan will be to control the game. Hopefully we don’t play over aggressively and get caught on the counter, but I trust in our midfield to dominate theirs. sebdeserio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
