Jokes aside, this is my pick for the ReggaeBoyz

[USAF]

starting 11 vs the U.S.

In goal: Ricketts - no explanation necessary

Defense:
LB - Phillips (proven & no better option)
CD - Gordon & Mariappa (have proven themselves & can deal with the crosses)
RB - Elliott (has experience playing professionally at right back, right wing & defensive/central mid, so he brings a strong defensive foundation with an ability to come forward & can cover well)

Central/Defensive Midfield:
Austin & McAnuff (strong proven players who can break up attacks coming through the middle & down the flanks, and help in attack especially with their shooting)

Attacking Midfield:
LW - R. Johnson (I don't see him as a pure striker. He is more of supporting forward & what he brings is versatility. Professionally he has played LB, LW and forward, so he's not only an attacking threat but is also a good cover when Phillips goes forward)
Creative Mid - Hue (he is your best option to make the threatening/goal scoring passes to your striker & wingers, as well as anyone in goal scoring position. He can also take good corners & free kicks.)
RW - J. Johnson (he is a very credible threat offensively, who can keep defenses on their heels & win free kicks.)

Striker:
Beckford (Is an experienced goal scorer, & with Hue playing provider and the 2 Johnsons in support, he should get more than enough chances.)

A selection as good as any!!!

Now you talking sense..

However I would move Phillips into LW.. we need goals now.. I am sure we can find a decent LB that is told to stay at home..

Ryan Johnson can rotate with McLeary on the RW

[Muadib]

And if we need to go into aggressive mode:

-----------Hue---McAnuff/Austin

Johnson/Mcleary-----------------Phillips

--------JJ/Robinson----Beckford/Mattocks


We need a decent defensive mid that can defend and distribute from the middle 3rd.

[Jangle]

I like your side but here's my final choice:

-------------Donovan Ricketts----------------


Alvas Powell ---Marriappa-----Gordon-------Woodbine


------------------Elliott----------------------


McLeary/Omar Daley (Sub)---------------Hue-----------------Phillips


---------Johnson--------------Robinson/JJ (Sub)---------

[USAF]

Make sure that those 2 backs step up, because I guarantee that they will be attacked all game long. We are aware they are the least experienced & that will be exploited to the MAX.

[Jangle]

I think it will be a game with a few goals. The bottomline is that we cannot approach the game with a defensive mindset, which will inevitably leave our wingbacks exposed. Hopefully, if we take a more attacking approach, it will keep their defense pinned back.

[Muadib]

Elliot is a defender.. has no midfield value...

Big but slow.. have not seen him work well with the defenders to start play..

[USAF]

Jamaica has no choice but to be more offensive, BUT it will not be one way traffic. We know that Powell & Woodbine are the weak links in your defense, and your center backs also know, so it is natural that they will want to cover & support them which can easily open spaces for our attackers. It's "the law": Find the weakness/weak link and exploit it.

[Reggaedoc]

Mattocks again?.

[Muadib]

and again and again and again....

[Bruce]

When Nosworthy returns, maybe Tappa or the new coach, whoever he is, might want to take a look at Daniel Gordon as defensive midfielder.

[Assasin]

Whe Mariappa gone? you mean his brethren?

[Bruce]

Changed to Nosworthy.

[Assasin]

LOOLL. Good eye still Bruce,
