Kadenge Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 1 minute ago, WestHamCanadianinOxford said: He is (hopefully was) still mostly a youth player despite being on the bench for the first team a handful of times. All the games I watched him and all the other games he was listed at centre back this season He was playing fullback with u18s before last year but since he has stepped up it has been consistent. Playing CB means he will most likely be defending Darwin Nunes, because Uruguay will target him. That's a scary way to get your first start. I hope he has ice in his veins . That's a massive ask. vancanman, 74 Whitecap and YorkRegionFan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Davies isn’t fit I’d put Ahmed in for him, LDF for Bombito and JRR for Larin. It won't be a throwaway game for any new or seldom used players added. They'll want to show Marsch they deserve to be on the team going forward, especially for 2026. gator, 74 Whitecap and CanadaFan123 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araujo from LigaMx (if they go with starters) is not chopped liver and I would want LDF isolated out there less than playing against Nunez where he played all year. I dont also want to be hanging on the whole time and having a centre back playing fullback is not usually a way to have dynamic attacking wing play. I would even rather go three at the back if we are worried about wide options. I guess we will see. jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say we’re putting our best foot forward if Piette is starting opposite Valverde. jhoops__ and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally McCoist Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Davies hasn't posted his usual match day story on Instagram. Leads me to believe he's not playing. scullion44, DeRo_Is_King, GasPed and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scullion44 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 The only change we should be considering is Larin. Everyone else should start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 If the plan really is to start LDF, play him in his natural position. Yank him early like Herdman did with Bombito if he can’t cut it. Ahmed at LB, Tani over Larin, and the rest should stay the same. Cadeau and YorkRegionFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Crepeau in goal, thinking of penalties. Laryea LdF Cornelius Miller Millar or Russel Rowe in front of Choinière Kone Osorio Bair Tani Everyone healthy ready to sub in for a result.

That lineup has played every game of full tilt pressing soccer I think having some rotation and bringing on a few of our big guns if the game is still in question in the second half is not the worst play. I wouldn't let Davies play at all no need to risk him after last game. I would Tani and his speed get the start to see what he can do with it Not just physically gassed with 1 less day of rest, but emotionally gassed too from their heartbreak + their post game donnybrook. I hope we can take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Laryea moving to LB for the injured Davies, but Ahmed is not an LB in a back four at club level and I would have concerns about his defensive game vs this physical opponent. We need some experienced continuity there. If Marsch chooses not to start Eustaquio, Johnston should be starting at RB and wearing the captain's armband.

The Ref Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I wonder after Bielsa's declarations in his press conference how will his Uruguayan players play now and if most of the bench plays. It will be an interesting duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
