To be honest I think we should probably be focussing more on the defensive side of this game rather than our strikers. Melbourne away is probably the toughest fixture other than Sydney.
I would like to see Sigmund back into CB, hopefully to kill Kruse, then Mckain, Brown and Diego to pack the midfield, maybe have one of them man marking Hernandez. Have Ifill to play a free role in front of them and put Greeny and Dadi up front to play as long ball targets.
Although this would have absolutely no width and we would need to rely on hearfield or muscat to get forward to get crosses in. I think that playing Caceres or Bertos would severely weaken our defense and pressure through midfield, and this is probably a game where we will need to defend quite a bit.
Probably a bit too much of a FM10 formation, with the lack of wide midfielders, but I'm struggling to see how we will able to cope with the melbourne midfield if don't have more defensively inclined players.
So you want to start Diego, who has done bugger all this year over Bertos, Caceres and Daniel? You are advocating the creativity of Ifill for Dadi and Greenacre when Ifill is a shoot on site first, pass second player?
This formation has absolutely no width and no creativity at all. You've actually got to score to win a game, even just the one goal. This is defend, defend, defend and then kick it 40 yards, the very thing we don't want to do
