Lineup and formation will be very interesting. Poz? Does Priso or Marky sit? Who will provide width and from where? If it’s a 3-5-2 do both Marky and Priso sit or does Soteldo play left wingback? Or do we go back to 4-2-3-1 with Oso Poz Soteldo in the “3”
Plus, Richie hasn’t shone. We could see as a 3-5-2 Mavinga Omar Zavs; Lawrence Oso Bradley Poz Auro; Soteldo Jozy or in the 4-2-3-1 Lawrence Mavinga Omar Auro; Bradley Priso; Soteldo Poz Oso; Jozy
I would imagine we will see a 3-5-2 again. Osorio, Bradley and Delgado as the central midfield three. Priso has shown great strides but his gas tank is not very good for an 18-19 year old. Hopefully Lawrence is back and can play LM/LWB. Does Jozy start after playing 70+ minutes yesterday though?
I think he has to based on his linkup play. Dwyer ha offered zero going forward.
Frankly they both look so past due, I’d start the kid at this point.

So, summer of Perruzza kicks off Wednesday? I'd rather save Jozy for the last 30 minutes of the game and let him body around a tired defence.
The medical and fitness team is abysmal.
I would presume Altidore starts on the bench tomorrow as there is another game this weekend.Quote:

That's basically Dwyer added to known issues.
Fact that we have so many known issues is...annoying.
What the heck is with Poz's injury and conditioning situation this season?
We are almost half-way through, and in the few games he played he was never fully fit... not even close - and this was clear from his on-pitch performance. And now he's injured again.
Some on these boards are saying that he was a shade of last year's himself until now because they can not play both almost same positions with Yefe - but I think this is not the real cause at all. It's purely the injury situation and the absence of preseason conditioning.
With Poz missing too many remaining games or not being fully fit when playing, IMO we do not have any chance to catching the playoffs.
So if we loose Altidore to an injury, who the hell do we put up top?
Are we at the point were Zavelta's got to fill in? :facepalm:
The striker situation is dire at the moment, Altidore is 45min player at best, and we got like no other options as sub without Akinola.
Given how good he is in the air and how many goals he scored in college, Zavs would probably be more effective NOW than Dwyer. At least we’d have a target man who can hold up the ball and bring Poz and El Jefe into scoring positions.Quote:

The boy works his ass off but I think Priso is ready to fill that spot and we've also got Fraser as a backup when his loan is over. A Delgado trade would probably be enough to make the funny cap rules work.Quote:

Maybe a long term starting CB but why do that when OG's contract ends after 2021.
This is true plus Priso doesn't look match in, match out consistent to me yet and Fraser has no hope. The chances of pulling out a playoff spot is low this season and I wouldn't trade a good, long term piece now and regret it later.Quote:

How a medical guy injures himself while running on the pitch to tend to an injured TFC Player pretty much speaks volumes about these experts.

So many small adjustments and the season would have been saved.
You appear to be right about Poz’s conditioning. However, I do think Jefe’s need for the ball, and slow ball movement (he is more like Grealish than DeBruyne) both diminish Poz. Lots of posters say give it time and fair enough, but I don’t see Poz having the same influence - it’s just not possible.Quote:

He was a pretty dominant player at the Gold Cup. Frankly, I don't think he'd come for less than a high-end TAM deal, for which we lack the cap room.Quote:

I don't think they'd ever trade Delgado for someone his age, but if we got three good years out of him, it would probably be worth it. Marky's already starting to show a little age, having played a two-way role for a decade now, although he's still a very effective player.

i say mullins starts tonight, but would love Jozy to throw together a run of starts.
funnily enough, he's actually not really been injured this season yet (maybe 1 week).
has missed games through armas conflict and covid shot after effect.
There is an English striker still vacationing in Florida, perhaps we could make an offer? g:D
If Villa got $100M for Grealish, there's no way Tottenham are taking less than $150M for Kane. I expect he will be reporting soon, as Spurs have a history of forcing contracts to be honored.Quote:

Wouldn't mean making the all-star team, mind. With 27 teams in the league, only 16 are represented. Seattle has half its first tema voted in by mass balloting, and Bob Bradley, the coach, has picked half his own first team as well. Why? Why would half the league bother watching a farcical friendly with Liga MX when we root actively against so many of our own participants?
Philly has seven straight unbeaten but I think five of those were draws, and Monteiro is forcing a transfer, so they might be riled.
not sure where you got this from, philly have 2 losses in 7, 4 draws and only 1 win.Quote:
