Home - July 7 - Portland

[Kjbert]

Certain guys play every match. Maxi. Ring. Tinnerholm. We assume that Heber isn’t healthy so then Taty starts again. Stuver is in goal. Callens and Sands aren’t playing so you have Ibeagha and Chanot.

I could see:

Stuver
Ibeagha Ring Chanot
Tinnerholm Ofori Maxi Sweat
Mitrita Taty Matarrita

With appearances from Isi if healthy, Parks and Medina.

We’re now working on James being out 9 days longer than they thought he would be. I think JohnB mentioned someone hurt him in practice.

No update on Heber. GMS isn’t cleared yet as of yesterday.

When I mentioned our player (sands) getting an injury there, my dad said 'He'll be out a lot longer than they said he will..." and so far he seems right..!

So basically all our available wingers. We might need a different formation for Sunday.

Sweat on the wing.

Sweat on the wing.

If he’s healthy, I’d rather Mata play more forward. I guess you can do:

Mata taty maxi
Sweat parks ofori tin
Seba ring chanot
Stuver

What happens to Sands, seriously? Who tackled him in training? An arm injury leaves a player out this long?

wasnt it a fracture? i was surprised he was training already

EDIT: these hamstring injuries are really gonna suck next couple of months with the games in hand and bunch of mid week games

Chanot, Maxi & Taty are still in danger. Isi can earn a reduction if he's healthy.

Mata taty maxi
Sweat parks ofori tin
Seba ring chanot
Stuver

This is a totally doable formation. One we would have seen last year with Taty leading the line and Matarrita out wide up top.

This is the last match of our 4 game home stand. We are 3-0-0 (9 points), a win on Sunday would give us 12 out of 12 possible points. This is after earning 8 0f 12 points on our 4 game road trip right before the homestand. To go back further, we've earned 24 of a possible 30 points since the DCU match on 4/21 (with 2 USOC wins thrown in as well).

 

[Shwafta]

I won't be surprised if they're calling some injuries as worse than they are (mainly from our main players) so they don't have to play on sunday, so they're properly rested for wednesday without having to explicitly saying "hey we're resting our best players for a match against Portland".

We should have stocked up on wingers during the off season. I blame Reyna.

24 of 30 by my count.

"not have"

24 of 30 by my count.

Same, it's 24/30, which is still incredibly good.
It'll be 27/33 if all goes as planned.

Can we sign Robben on a 1-day?
