So lineup predictions? Back 3/5 or a back 4?

I think they’ll go with a back 3/5. We don’t have the CBs to reliably play a back 3 but I think it makes sense against Jamaica and their attacking group. I think our wingbacks will need to be engaged defensively and if that takes away from their attacking game then so be it.

David - Tajon
Koné - Eustaquio - Ahmed?
Davies- ??? - Vitoria - Johnston - Laryea
Borjan

Is my guess. I’d like to see Cornelius as the 3rd CB but I am guessing it will be Miller. Vitoria is in there for his height on defensive set pieces which I think is a big concern.

I’d really like to see LdF as the right sided CB (pushing Johnston to wingback) but unfortunately I can’t see him actually getting a start. Hopefully he makes a couple appearances though.

I’d rather us play a 4-3-3 for all sorts of reasons (or even go back to a 4-4-2 which I think would compliment this group quite well) but against Jamaica it is probably better to go with something more familiar to the group. If they play it as a 3-5-2 I will be very concerned about the space in behind the wingbacks and the Jamaican wingers. Be conservative. Sit back lower to protect Vitoria and Miller and their non-existent pace and try and hit on the counter. That’s why I’ve got Tajon up top instead of Larin. A draw in Jamaica is not a bad result to bring home to Toronto.
