...instead of Mo Edu? He's playing in the USA v England friendly next week ( just got called up) and will miss the Montreal game.
Suggestions (queue chorus of "Jarrod Smith in a 442)?

I guess that's the only plan or the second option is to insert Harmes on Mo Edu spot.
----Smith/Cunny-----Dichio-------
--------Guevara-----------
Robert---------Ricketts----
-------Robinson------------
-Brennan-Marshall-Velez-Wynne
---------Sutton--------------
:D 4-4-2
I think we'll go 4-4-2, with Smith starting up front, or maybe showcase Cunny for a trade. Smith and Dichio would give us decent skill and incredible grit though - it would be a tough day for opposing defenders.
Where did you here he was called up? He's not mentioned in the announcement:

dont change something thats working, just replace Edu with Harmes and hope he doesnt have a bonehead moment, they play basically the same game, although Edu plays it better (even though he looked like shit against DC)
Ives says Feilhaber got hurt yesterday and Edu was chosen to replace him:Quote:

Honestly though, I think you will see an entirely different lineup.
-------Cunny----Lomardo-----
--Robert--Rosenlund---Smith
-----------Phelan---------------
--Dunivant--James--Marshall---Tebily
-----------Edwards--------------
How come these guys leave for friendlies?
doesn't make sense to me. either play on your team in league play where you can contribute to 3 points, or you can play a meaningless friendly with a loser US squad against a useless English Squad.

Only change i may consider is Smith for Ricketts. Maybe start Ricketts but substitute him at half time if he isn't performing.

Here's something you never woulda heard a month ago...
Why the hell would you sit Velez?
Ah - a shame. Thanks.Quote:

You could also put Gala on the left as well, Harmse in at CDM, Melo in... There are a lot of options.
Tebily could also fill in, with James at CB.. orrrr
---Dunivant---James---Pehlan---Tebily---

I wouldn't sit Valez. He is gaining confidence by the game and he is looking rather strong at our back end.
Hope he keeps it up.
Because players need to play friendlies for practice. Also for most players, representing your country is an honour. (Trophies aside)Quote:

Just my opinion though.
I don't mind experimenting a little against Montreal, but Velez knows all the sneaky USL tricks!
I think maybe half the starters sit for the Montreal game

When/if the Open Canada Cup is resumed(hopefully with TFC in the mix) then you might see starters sitting in place of subs/development players I'd imagine.
At home starters will play for the CCL, on the road, more of the reserves

It's pretty simple, really. With Edu gone, you put in Tébily who according to Birmingham people, plays actually better at DM than CB.
WAIT....NO WAY!!! Giambac has said something positive. This deserves a TIFO at the Montreal gameQuote:
