    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?

    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.

    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

    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----------------

    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.

    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
