bt50 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Think Cahill will start, but line up could be anything this week. My guess is this: Bouzanis Chapman Jakobsen Rose Kilkenny Kamau Brattan Caceres Colazo Cahill Fornaroli SUBS Sozer Muscat Malik Brandan Fitzgerald Kilkenny to drop into the back 4 in defence much like last week, Kamau and Colazo to effectively make it 4 at the front when in attack. Wouldnt surprise if Brandan. or even Malik started over Caceres. Either way Caceres into the 10 role when Cahill subs off, Fitzy as a late wing sub for whoever is less effective of Nico and Bruce.

n i k o Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 So nervous about Rose and Chapman in the fullback positions. Muscat loves his fast wingers as well and will target those areas for sure. If we don't dominate the midfield we'll be in trouble. Other than that my god we've got a ridiculous squad.

Tbh i think if we do dominate the midfield that makes us more susceptible to fast wingers on the counter. Likewise tho, when theyve got the upper hand in midfield, turn it over at your peril or Nicky Colazo's sweet left foot will give you nightmares... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll have to simply because it falls in with our 'style' of play of possession high press football. I agree it makes us more susceptible but I dont see us sitting back and not doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty strong bench. Plenty of depth this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of our best performances (as Melburnians) was the Etihad semi-final derby. If you watch a full match replay, we outsung them very well... until we went down 2-0 lol But the mics never seem to be existent in our regular away end at Etihad derbies so you can't hear much on TV.

bt50 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Lel, the only way Rose gets dropped is if Colazo plays LB. Muscat will be a chance to replace Chapman but id say unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamau and Brandon as the wide players, Fornaroli as striker and Cahill sitting behind. Muscat to be mostly defensive to allow Colazo more freedom to attack. Playing a back four is a must IMO.

Caceres played way too well to justify being dropped though. idk, either way all of these selection dilemmas are a good thing as it proves we actually have depth now. The biggest challenge is whether JVS actually knows how to best optimise this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
