This thread is about the formation YOU think Mexico should play. Too many times we post it on before a game or throughout many threads, now we should have its own thread. Which one do you think we should play?
Mine is a 4-3-3: Ochoa/Oswaldo Osorio Marquez Magallon Salcido Arce Pardo Guardado Arellano Vuoso*(Nery sub) Vela
I got two: Paco Memo Osorio-Rafa-Magallon-Salcido Pardo-Leandro Guardado Giovani Nery Vuoso Vela for Nery, Pina for Gio, Torrado for Pardo/Leandro and/or Guille for Vuoso OR Paco Memo Magallon-Rafa-Salcido Rojas Guardado Pardo-Leandro Gio Vuoso Nery Same subs.
will considering Gio and Magallon wont be available for one, along with Arellano...there might have to be some changes
Yes, Rojas. Sometimes the best players don't = the best team. Rojas is a solid player, lots of speed, good marker, and the most important thing, le pone huevos. I'd rather have Rojas play against Suazo in two week's time than Osorio. Osorio is much more technical than Rojas, I know, and he plays in Europe but for this game, I think Rojas would be the right choice.
I think.......... Paco Memo Salcido--- galindo ---Marquez-- -Magallon (when fully fit) Vela----------Pardo-------Guardado Bofo Nery-----------------------Arellano
---Ochoa---- Osorio----Moreno-----Rafa------Salcido Araujo------- Pardo-----Leandro-----Guardado ---Arellano----------Vuoso------- Subs Vela Franco Blanco Arce Sinha Venado maybe Torrado
Unless Arellano is injured, he's going to be in San Pedro Sula in two week's time. Matter of fact, Arellano is the perfect replacement for Gio. They're very similar players.
We have played 5-3-2 3-5-2 4-3-3 4-4-2 (4-4-1-1) If we do not plan correctly, train accordingly, and do not play the 11 best (notice I didn't say best 11), who gives a crap about the formation. the formation is not going to win it for us
Decent thread, not bad at all. Now if I was the coach, I would run a 3-5-2 Ochoa Rojas - Rafa - Castillo Pardo - Araujo Arce Guardado Dos Santos Nery - Vela For my Subs: Vuoso Arellano Moreno Osorio Leandro.
5-3-2 or 3-5-2, i think osorio, salcido, and marquez played well as the 3 cetral defenders with osorio more like a sweeper.
My ideal formation would be a 4-2-3-1 with the following players. That is of course assuming everyone is healthy and playing at a high level. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------G. Ochoa------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- --C. Salcido------J. Magallón----R. Márquez------F. Pinto-- --------------------------------------------------------- ----------------P. Pardo--------G. Torrado---------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ------F. Arce---------------------------A. Guardado------ ----------------------G. dos Santos---------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ----------------N. Castillo--------C. Vela---------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
3-5-2 --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------G. Ochoa------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- --J. Magallón----R. Márquez------C. Salcido-- --------------------------------------------------------- ----------------P. Pardo--------Leandro---------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ------O.Arellano---------------------------A. Guardado------ ----------------------G. dos Santos---------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ----------------N. Castillo--------C. Vela---------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
Oops, my bad. --------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------G. Ochoa------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- --C. Salcido------J. Magallón----R. Márquez------F. Pinto-- --------------------------------------------------------- ----------------P. Pardo--------G. Torrado---------------- --------------------------------------------------------- ------F. Arce---------------------------A. Guardado------ ----------------------G. dos Santos---------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------C. Vela------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
Paco Memo Osorio--- Galindo---Marquez---Salcido Bermúdez--------Pardo-------Guardado Bofo Nery-----------------------Vela 3 subs made in game would be Arce for Bermúdez, Cuau(if he comes back) for Bofo, and Vuoso for Nery or Vela.
Taking into account current injuries of Gio and Magallon, I'd go with something like this. (please let me know if any of these are injured as well and I'll replace them) ___________Ochoa____________ _Osorio_Moreno_Marquez_Salcido_ ______________Pato Araujo_____ _______Pardo_________________ _O Arellano___________Guardado_ ________________Vela_________ _____Vuoso/Cacho_____________ Bench: Corona Galindo E Castillo I Martinez (based on recent form) Arce Bofo Nery I'd obviously pick Gio and Magallon as starters if they weren't injured. Edit:OMG, I completely forgot about Hobbit. He would at least make the bench.
-------------------------Ochoa -----------Magallon------Marquez------Salcido ---------------------Pardo----Torrado ----Arellano----------------------------------Guardado ---------------Castillo-------------Arellano ---------------------------Vela This is what we should use against Concacaf teams BTW i was watching Francisco Mendoza play the other night, looking good
Poor man's Guardado. Plus, the nads have been courting him for a few years now and it's rumored that he will play for them once he obtains his citizenship. I think Beasley and Dempsey are much more complete players but whatever.
I have always been partial to the 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield so this is what I would play ----------------------------Ochoa-------------------------------------- ----Castro---------Marquez-----------Magallon--------------------Salcido ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------Torrado------------------------------------ --Arce----------------------------------------------------------Guardado ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------Bofo--------------------------------------- --------------------Cacho------------Nery------------------------------ Subs: If man for man Gio For Bofo/Guardado Vela For Nery/Guardado/Cacho De Nigris for Cacho/Nery Pardo for Bofo/Torrado/Arce Augusto for Bofo/Torrado/Guardado Galindo For Marquez/Magallon Obviously by 2010 I would hope Vela or Gio would be able to win a starting spot outright. Edit... I'm not particularly enamored with Arce but for lack of better options he would be the man... However, hopefully someone will emerge and take that spot from him... I always envisioned Pablo Barrera as the Right mid of the future for El Tri
