Lineups








I think this might be the first game of the year with our ACTUAL best 11 available from the start, if Kinda’s knock was truly a one-game thing. IIRC the Seattle game had Kinda/Thommy/Walter as the midfield but personally I think Kinda/Walter/Radoja is a better look.
I think Walter is a better fireman than Thommy and Kinda is a better attacker so I agree
Ben, I sort of hate that you capitalized City…
I am beholden to the style guides!
Without knowing the status of Russell or Kinda, I picked Tzionis to start (just wishful thinking that it won’t be Shelton). I also picked Thommy to start with the possibility of having Kinda off the bench for a 2nd half spark.
If Kinda can play and Russell can’t, would our best lineup be with Thommy on the right wing with Kinda in the midfield?
I wondered that same thing in my story. It’s hard to say. It’ll definitely be a team that can possess the ball better, which is good when St Louis look to counter you to death.
