Why not this line-up against Cuba??

[Paddy]

Hi,

-Carlo and Hume (or even Xausa) up front.
-Paul in the midfield.
-Nick on the bench.
-Kevin on defense.
-Fenwick or his protégé, Hastings, on the bench.

Tell me this team couldn't have done better against Cuba. Please, explain how.

Time for Holger to go.

Maybe you should apply for the job Paddy, since you're a better tactician than Holger and all...

Well, I must have blinders on.

I'm the only one in Canadian Soccerdom who though Paul F. had a hell of a pair of games. (Midfield on both goals! JDV a bit at fault on both goals! That 2nd goal, ug and double ug.)

My coachs as a wee cub are to blame of course. With better coaching, oh yeah, and talent, I'd have been out there playing monday instead of working in a machine shop.

Still can't believe we lost monday. Simply can't believe McKenna didn't score but I'll agree on the starting lineup not being selected as the best.

Yes, Diesel in an attacking mid. role supporting 2 strikers. Make that field nice and wide. Hume to start okay, but Big Kev stays up front (How? How? How could he not?!!)

Nick's not even on the bench. Off to the salon and then back to the left coast. Thanks. See, yah.

Nash was spent. If he dosen't bring his best passing to the match he dosen't bring anything. And besides, on saturday it was Nash, Hastings and Nick who're stumbling around on that left side all stupid. Hard to keep that going. Nash out Atiba in. Never hurts to have those long shanks ranging all over the middle third dose it?

MC2 and Hastings still start simply because who else can you put out there?

Hi,

Kevin on the back line because the "inert duo" just can't cut it. Kev is a good defender. I am not saying we should have played for the tie, but it was all we needed. Hume would have run his ass off up front. I just can’t fathom why Nick was on with fresh legs on the bench.

Lets hope we field a decent team against Finland.

Still willing to have another look at Pizzolitto. Can't say that I expect Holger well ever start the man but if Nevio is game enough to follow our Red Minnows around the globe he might get his chance yet.

Hume wasn't too sharp on the chances he had. Held that one ball way, way too long and made quite a hash of that ball that was delivered to him in the left penalty all free and alone but yeah, he'd have spred those Cubans out a little had he started and he's certainly got a head for the game. He's going to be something if he continues developing.
