Columbus (4-3-3, YES A MOTHERFVCKING 4-3-3) Bendik; Williams, Mensah, Sauro, Jimenez; Artur, Trapp, Guzman; Santos, Zardes, Robinho Bench: Kempin, Crognale, Clark, Higuain, Accam, Hansen, Mullins LAFC (4-3-3) Miller; Beitashour, Zimmerman, Segura, Harvey; Kaye, Atuesta, Blessing; Vela, Ramirez, Rossi Bench: Sisniega, Blackmon, El-Munir, Nguyen, Horta, Perez, Diomande Big formation change for Cbus. Clear squad rotation as Williams moves to RB and Jimenez to LB. Pipa on the bench, along with Accam. Also, Crognale is back. Not sure what is up with Steffen. LAFC... More or less full strength. The midfield 3 are pit bulls, will hunt down everything in the middle third, must move the ball quickly through that area of the field, or bypass altogether with long balls.
When Higuain was subbed out against #LAGalaxy, Caleb Porter shifted to a 4-3-3 with Guzman in. Here's why, and why #Crew96 is in a 4-3-3 tonight. pic.twitter.com/tTwuMjcdzQ— Jacob Myers (@_jcmyers) May 11, 2019 Not that this will lead to any creativity tonight, but still, this would seem to be Porter's thinking.
Good quote pull. We should win a lot of balls and break up attack’s but the counter is where we will need to strike I feel. Accam off the bench will be fun to see.
Credit where credit is due dept: Caleb Porter has gotten some style advice from someplace That is a very solid look, stylishly well cut but understated suit, open collar white shirt, all fit beautifully I'm impressed
Crew are being called for fouls when they breath on LAFC. LAFC is committing felonious assault and getting away with it.
Bendik looks and plays like a rec league keeper who got called in to play after getting done with his shift at the steel mill.
