Yesterday at practice DeRo and White took a bunch of extra striking practice at the end of the practice. That would be my guess for at least part of the time up front.

I'm just hoping we see a full lineup of the projected starters for as much of the game as possible so that we can see if there is any capability of controlling a game. We need a little more flow than we saw the other night, and we need to be able to create a little more offense.

lacking creative playmaker (i dunno enough about this Saric dude), it'll be JDG holding the ball and feeding to DeRo who'll have to feed into channels for White and Barrett to run on to. Bad DeRo game means bad TFC offence this year... again

My number one wish is that we learned from the last game and will try to push up field a bit more. Too much kicking the ball around and a great lack of chances. That's key going into this game IMHO.

Interesting line-up. I really think your centre defensive pairing would work well. They both showed well Saturday. I think Wynne will prob start though, and not sure about DeRo's fitness after the strain.

Also, not sure about whether Preki will go with a projected starting line-up for opening day, or trialists? I thought he said coming in he was going to find out who the starters were. I thought this meant play them together, but he may still want to take a look at a number of different players. Should be interesting... though at the end of the day, all that matters is a win on opening day!

I really like this!.......wouldn't mind seeing this for out starting XI when (if) the season starts...

if Said is coming as advertised I think he will be able to control thie middle of the back allowing Wynne and/or Brennan to come up a little more, with lesser potential for disaster...

IMO a 3-5-2 requires two real wing backs, or no goals are scored. I'm not sure either Wynne or Brennan fit that bill. When I think 3-5-2, I think Brazil. We don't exactly have a Roberto Carlos, do we?

Stouffville_RPB
03-17-2010, 01:53 PM
If we could merge Brennan's qualities with Wynne's we would have 1 really effective fullback.

only thing I see as a problem is your wingers should be a much bigger scoring threat than Brennan and Wynne

That's why I want to see it in a pre-season against an MLS side, to see if it could work or not. I've seen it with Egypt NT and our right wingback (Ahmed El Mohamady) is much better offensively than defensively, with our 3 CBs taking care of business. I think it's worth the try. We've (Egypt) won 3 continental titles and whooped everyone's ass on the way, thanks to this formation that's not so popular these days. If it works, then great. If it doesn't, then we blacklist it. I want Wynne on the right wing because of his pace only. I know he'd get caught off-guard a few times, but I think the 3 CBs, Brennan returning back from the left side and the 2 sitting defensive midfielders would cover up.


yeah I like this new role for Garcia in this set-up - he suits it perfectly.
Don't know much about this Saric guy - is he a DM?

I don't know about Saric either, but all the people who watched him at the Disney Pre-season tournament said he's one of the few positives of that tournament and his football IQ is pretty high. I've also been told that he can be a real box-to-box threat, but I figure we already have JDG and should deploy him in that role. Saric can definitely play a DM/CM role, with JDG infront of him. Again, it would be a good test, just like Preki tested Ibrahim Said as a right winger.

I'd like to see this exact 3-5-2, even if it's just for the first half. It's better to try out this stuff now, then for the last game against RSL, which is our last match before the season opener (if there's no lock out).

TFC Cityboy

3-5-2 is an excellent formation as long as you have the right 3 at the back

Saric is mainly a right winger and is a small, offensively minded player. You won't see him in this role.

Saric--Cronin--JDG---Brennan

He wasn't using a 4-4-2 vs. Charleston the other night, so maybe his philosophies are changing. A lot of coaches seem to be experimenting with a whole host of formations these days.

So I guess we don't need any help at the center back positions, we get a guy who from his history is a good center back , Said, and in the two games he has played we put him in the midfield, what the fuck is going on with this team!

Good. Just making sure I wasn't the only one utterly confused by this tactic.

if being down 1-0, tying the Battery (after only being in preseason for a few days before last Saturday's match) and not being able to string together more than 5 consecutive passes is what Preki meant by building character, developing and bringing the right personalities together to work hard for the team, then we're acing it!

which is odd considering all the time Mo has had to find a suitable striker.

@ this point a strike wouldn't bother me much. TFC can't score, can't win and really don't look good. A refund on my season's wouldn't hurt me too awful much especially if this is what I have to look forward to! Oh well, we'll see in a few days I guess!

Doubt it. Mo's replacement will need time to re-build. Maybe a 3-year plan.

My thoughts exactly. Let's say there is a strike, and the season is canceled. As far as I can tell, we get:

To drop Robinson's 175k (since he was only guaranteed through this season)
To drop Garcia's 200kish (since he was only guaranteed through this season)
To drop Gerba's 177k (since he was only guaranteed through this season)

So, essentially, we would save 500k of deadweight, and have an entire year to find a solution to our striker problem, instead of having a few weeks and no money in the budget. Plus, Garcia will have a brilliant look on his face after realizing that he pushed a strike that essentially took away his last year of earning potential in the league, leaving him without a salary at all.

An absolutely horrific game by TFC. Absolutely no cohesion whatsoever. I don't think playing down a man was an excuse for the garbage that was on display. I was expecting discipline and tactical play under Preki but thus far it seems TFC has taken a step backwards in both areas since last last season...

Sangyang punched ex TFC Foul specialist Julius James, and it was brought up a number of times that James should have been also sent off. We are in trouble, no doubt about it, so bad I feel, that, although not from us fans, that our franchise support may be seriously hurt at the end of this year. Remember there are a lot of experienced soccer fans that think this league is very minor and Mr. Moe is not only screwing us the fans, but he seriously could be singlehandedly be ruining this franchise. I hope not, but I am getting VERY uncomfortable. P.S. our first touches are disgusting and is it not possible to hold on to a ball longer than say 2 touches ?
