Beenhakker has to go with a solid squad for those 2 games, I hope no one gets injured before, keep fingers crossed.
As for the forwards, I feel he has to have a contingency plan for both games, particularly ultra attacking mode, as we need 2 wins.
Suppose in either game we down or tied with time running out fast.
He will have to do something similar to Guat at home when we end up playing with 3 out and out forwards.
For the next 2 games, we may need more than that.
I feel Jones, Scotland, Stern and Glen should all be recalled.
After the Guat and the Cr game, which I jus finish watch, one thing is clear to me, we need Stern. He may not have scored vs CR, but he is indeed our marquee player up front as Beenie said. He should always be on the field once he not injured for the remaining 2-4 games we have for Germany. If anyone else thinks otherwise, they dont know football.
Yes our other forwards may be faster, and could take on defenders better on the run, but Stern have a presence and name that CONCACAF knows. His presence alone will always warrant close attention. AND HE CAN SCORE, something the other forwards we have are now learning how to do. Stern is in a class by himself when it comes to popping up in the right spot, maybe just once a game. He is in a class by himself for putting the ball in the net. He is also riding confidence and adrenalain from the Guat game. He MUST PLAY AT ALL TIMES. Our forwards will roate around him.
To start, Stern for sure. Glenn and Jones do better coming on later I find.
In the CR game, Sealy created a couple chances for himself in the little time he got. I feel he due to deliver something for us also.
These are the most crucial games for us coming up, we need wins. Draws wont cut it, so we need all our firepower at our disposal!
I say recall all 4 forwards. heck, even Latapy can join in the hunting.
We have to prepare for a scenario in Panama or in Mexico, where we need the win and we are tied or down with 12 mins to go.
All out attack will be our only option.
My starting line up vs Panama will be:
Jack - GK
Dog- Stopper
Lawrence - Sweeper
Avery - Left back
Spann - Right back
Birchall - CM
Latas -CM
Edwards - RM
Whitely - LM
Yorke - CM/F
Stern - F
Latas will interchange with Whitley to relieve some of the pressure on the left flank.
Yorke and Latas will also help stern a lot up front directly.
Shaka as back up keeper.
Cox and Atiba as the back up defenders.
Theobald as the midfield sub.
Jones, Glen, Sealy as power attacking subs.
Thats the 18 for the 2 games.
The yellow card situation will also affect the Mex game, as although we have no suspensions for the Panama game, we have about 5 men on yellows.
