Assuming JFR can’t go and Walter can I say throw Thommy on right wing and run out Kinda And Walter as 8s and Radoja as 6. Maybe Leibold for Ndenbe with a halftime or 60th minute swap just to keep both guys coming along but otherwise same as yesterday. I’d be good with Zusi in for Davis at half again, Tzionis for Thommy and Hernandez for Kinda between the hour and 75 minute mark, and Afrifa or Espinoza for Pulido or Walter or Radoja, whoever needs the break, whenever it makes sense after that.
I’d rotate like crazy in Vancouver and go for the point after that.
I hope they are conservative in bringing JFR back. They need to give him the runway to recover properly so that this doesn’t become a recurring issue down the line.
Also, I am definitely for squad rotation, but I was not impressed by Zusi last week and haven’t been all season. He was wide open for his assist and otherwise had multiple poor touches. He also isn’t as quick as he used to be (unsurprisingly). Hoping he stays #2 on the depth chart for his position.
