By nature I lean towards cynicism and pessimism for all things CMNT. But I feel like we are going to smack them early and often. 

4-0 win. 

I am okay with blooding people and letting in a goal or two but the margin needs to be large.  Result not in doubt, early on.

Still no lineup.. unnacceptable!

[scullion44]

Ugbo is a shock tbh

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Ugbo…? David playing a CAM type role?

[CanadaFan123]

Ugbo with the start … wow. Absolutely pivotal game for him from a Canada standpoint. 

[jhoops__]

What kind of formation is this ?  
3-4-2-1

[jhoops__]

3-4-1-2

Great lineup, only thing I would do differently would be DC over Waterman. He seems much more likely to be a long term starter but I guess the chemistry from Montreal between Miller, Johnston, Waterman has been valued more than that by biello.

Shocked to see Waterman over Cornelius

And Ugbo starting

For those abroad, looks like concacaf YouTube is showing the match.

I am thinking Davies and Buchanan as wb's in a 5-3-2 Larin and Ugbo up front with David playing slightly behind?

For those kit lovers, Canada will be in red and T&T will be in “Botanica” or “Black/Gold”

This is an awful contrast and will seriously affect my enjoyment of the game. Put a team in white for gods sakes!

[Jack1997]

I also would like to see a camp in the near future with 2 friendlies and we can start Sirois and St. Clair a game each and help decide who may be the starter for Copa America (Asumming we make it) but in such an important game like this Creapau is definitely the right move.

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Not what I would do but maybe trying to blow them away and then try some stuff.

So really a slightly modfified 343,

 

Going for it I guess.

I kinda like David as a Cam, seems like it would suit his style. What scares me is that Staq-Kone might get caught in transition like against Jamaica. Bigggg game for Ugbo and Waterman

[PiedPilko]

I think Waterman's perfect against Trinidad-level teams. A competent passer to break down their bus.

Btw, your observation re LDF's height seems to be accurate from the video of the team arriving at the stadium. He's grown!

[narduch]

T&T starters according to Fotmob

Yeah this seems like a starting 11 built to shock and awe.  No Piettte or Fraser for safety.  No conservative 4 at the back. Just a pack of hyenas ready to harass and punish you.  

Hope it works.

David is the false 9.  Much like his time in Gent where he played behind a couple of quality forwards like Depoitre and Yaramchuk, at least by Jupiler League standards. Gent had a standard back 4 so formation was 4-3-3 and David was more CAM than forward though he scored a busload of goals running into the pockets created by the forwards.
