If Nepal can't adjust to the heat, humidity and rain just like we couldn't adapt to the cold in Mongolia, I expect a major psychological advantage for us. If Chieffy is 100%, I expect a goal from him. I don't think anyone is more adept at playing in soggy conditions. Expected formation: GK Etheridge LB Cagara CB Gier CB Borromeo RB Jonsson LW Caligdong CM Lucena CAM Mulders RM J Younghusband AST P Younghuband SST Guirado I initially had Lucena as RB and de Jong at CDM, with Jonsson at the bench, but seeing as this is a home game, Weiss would prefer a more attacking lineup. Lucena and Mulders both function as playmakers, Lucena positioned a bit deep while Mulders in line with JYH, Chieffy slightly more upfront. I would like to see Guirado in a more advanced target man role with PYH slightly dropping back, but knowing how things are they'll probably line up in reverse. Jerry plays RB almost all the time with AGF. Ray Jonsson plays midfielder almost exclusively with Grindavik. Having said that, solidify your defense before you open up for offense. With Lucena, Gier, Aly and Cagara you can have the best defense possible(via reputation for now) where everyone is playing their regular positions. Each and everyone of these 4 back are regulars for their team so match fitness should be tip top. I'll pass on forward and midfield predictions... Sadly Guirado is down and out with Chieffy less than 100%. Go Azkals!

Sadly Guirado is down and out with Chieffy less than 100%. Go Azkals! I based this lineup on how Weiss thinks ;D So I maximized the attacking potential of the lineup. Anyway, moot point since Guirado's likely out and Chieffy has a knock...

I've got no opinion on this one that's why I'm asking. If Caligdong cannot play or is subbed out, in you guys' opinion who is the best possible replacement?

It's just that I don't picture out Weiss coming up with that one. I do hope he considers that, since he's not too shy about switching players' positions, after all.

I like that line up in that formation, that looks pretty good and I usually have a strong bias for the double pivot in central midfield but the diamond seemed to do quite well at the Singapore match. That said, it appears Chieffy is out injured, any guess who's coming in? I would say Ian Araneta (though I don't agree if that were the choice) based on Coach Weiss' subbing pattern in the last few games but is Ian out with injuries too? He had to be subbed out for injury in Singapore, is he fit to play? If this were the likely formation and line-up, I have a suspicion it might be Burkey upfront paired with Phil, but I would prefer Coach Weiss gives Misagh a chance to start and show if he can hack it at this level. Of course, given how Coach loves to switch things around, we'd probably be all in for a surprise come matchday.

Jeffrey Christiaens could be a better option if he's only here. how bout Bahadoran? i saw the game between Jordan against Nepal (9-0).Nepal players are not good in defending set pieces and long balls, maybe we could take advantage in long balls because we were doing this a couple of times already

Who are the options at right back? (Other than Gener of course, hehe) Is Anton fit to play? Here's a possibility (indulging my preference for a 4-2-3-1): Etheridge ? ------------- Gier -------------- Aly ----------------- Jonsson Lucena -------------------------- De Jong JYH ------------------------- Mulders ------------------------ Cagara PYH With this formation, Coach will have the option of taking out the right back for a striker to go 2 upfront partnering with Phil and revert to the diamond midfield with Lucena moving to right back. Or vice-versa, he could start with the more attacking diamond formation, hope to get the lead and switch to the double pivot by taking out the striker and putting in a rightback where Lucena moves up to partner De Jong in central mid for added protection to the back four to maintain the lead and hit Nepal on the counter as they seek to equalize.

Actually, I was thinking of him too and it will be good exposure and experience for him also. I just wasn't sure if he could play at RB as I remember that at the LTC he was on the left. Also, he might not be in the squad list. But yes, when I came up with that variation, it was with that in mind, Leonora or another youth player. With 2 holding mids acting as a protective screen in front of the back four, there should be enough protection to start out with Leonora or another young player and not consider that decision as reckless or risky.

If Carli Olaivar is available, you could also place him at right back, the position he plays in Spain. Leonora and Moy can also play the position.

For the sake of conversation, here's mine: The back 4 are all in their proper playing positions. At mid, it's the regular 4 diamond that Weiss and the team is used too, plus easily converted into a defensive or attacking formation. Yes, Ray Jonsson at Chieffys' position(if Chieffy is not playing) or as a later sub. Ray plays midfield with Grindavik not Left Back. Phil and ?? I really have no thought here except Misagh or Mark H. You pick a guy at forward... The caveat: It's just a fans take, don't get to bent out of shape with it.

We should start scouting good finishers, We had so many chances since the Kuwait match but just could not hit the back of the net. Wonder why.

Yes, more options are needed up front to shake up the regular starters. I COULD BE WRONG, but this is my observation. We have a lot of options starting to get discovered that could start fitting in at the back and in midfield. Most of Coach Weiss' experimentation or "tinkering" usually involved the backline or the midfield. I think this has kept those players in those areas on their toes. Note how Aly continues to keep making a case for his regular presence at our back line. JYH and Chieffy have been doing their darned best to make sure those 2 midfield flanks belong to them, and their work rate and performances shows they continue to deserve those places. Jonsson and Anton have capable young understudies in the person of Leonora and Carli so no one can afford to be complacent in those areas too. I guess now is the time for Coach to start focusing on our forward line so that those that are made to start there is going to play like hell to prove to the coach that he deserves that spot.
