When do you guys think that Beenhakker should/when do you think he will start using less substitutes in our friendly games and instead begin playing on a more regular basis the team/group of guys that will start most games/get most of the playing time in Germany?
Remember the Iceland game? After bringing on all those subs in the second half, our play started to break down a bit because with so many new players on the pitch, we started losing our rhythm.
I suppose at some point in time he will have to stop brining on all of these subs because (1) unlike now when we are allowed 6 subs due to it being a friendly (I am assuming that this is the case for this game although I may be wrong) at the WC we obviously will only have 3 subs at our disposal (2) unlike the Iceland game when he was still trying to feel out which players to pick for the WC (he has now decided who is going to the WC except for having to drop one player) and which players can play in which positions, our purpose now is more about working on our game and preparing to play our opposition in Germany.
I am in no way suggesting that we should not give our subs a run. Certainly they should be ready in case injuries occur or in case our tactics in a certain game require different players to be used in that game. However, do you guys think that maybe we should start giving our main guys more significant playing time (than they got in the Iceland game) with each other so that they can start developing a nice rythm heading into the World Cup? Wouldn't you agree that it is probably a good idea for our main guys/starting 11 to get a few good games together before the world cup instead of having games filled with many changes and combinations of players that most likely will not be used at the WC. This isn't a criticism of Beenhakker eh! Just some thoughts....who knows...this may be exactly what he does today or maybe he intends to do this later down the road.....
