donxdogWe're playing Andre as a false Midfielder. Since he's not so quick we want him to release the ball quickly, not to push too far up and also track back to help when we lose the ball. When we are attacking we want Sharad to push up into the central midfield. On defence we want him to go left/right and engage as needed. This is because we always want to avoid any body from the back three getting pulled out wide. We will looking to Ike to take the ball on the line and get crosses across the face of the goal. You/Chris will have to give Stefan some help because Ike and Stephen are unlikely to track back. As usual ill be looking to run on to diagonal balls and then either beat the man or pull it back for stephen who will be attacking the space i leave behind. Jared will be more of our primary central midfielder while Stephen will be a bit more offensive. We should try and get good clearances from defense preferably out wide either left or right where I and Ike can chase and hassle the defenders a bit. Depending on how good they are we might have to pull Ike back into a traditional right midfield role. This might also come in handy if we have a slim lead and are trying to lock the game up
