bosnia manager could .....

Hi Executor!

Thanks for this nice question :-)

Its realy hard to give you an answer, because I don`t know the skills from the players, but I will give you my tactic ideas and also how I would (without knowing the skills) play!

Bosnia is a realy "easy" enemy. They lost 0:7 against Russia, and that says everything. Best players are Causic an Zilkic, but they aren`t realy good.

My line-up for this friendly match:

My personal 3-5-2
There are:

3 defenders
2 defensiv middfielders
1 middfielder
2 wingers very "attacers"
2 strikers

The 2 defensive middfielders will give the team stability, and they can bring in the game our 2 wingers (they have to be set un the lines, realy large has to be our team).

It would look like this (or like in my team the tactic):

............ X......X.............
....................................
X...............X...............X
....................................
..........X...........X...........
....................................
.....X.........X..........X......

And it would play:

GK: Cryan
DEF: Berrigan, Long, Chawla
DM: Diffley, Freyne
Wingers: Lizzraga, Armstrong
OM: Crossley
ATT: Cashia, Keenan

Andreasson

however in my opinion you should play with 3 att , if he play with 5 dif on the line , you need 2 att to intercross between them of course they need to be as quick as lightning :-)
I think also that 3 mid will be sufficent 1 ahead to defend and others in middle and they shouldn't have ball too much , just pass it quickly so you could cut his defend!!!
good luck.. ..... where do you live?!?

--x------x--------x-------x-def4
--------------x------------- mid (good def)

Nice, I like it.

Your team tactic could definitely be improved.

Thanks ;-)

I saw your tactics in the last few matches, they are also realy nice. Only the 3 attackers in the middle are in my oppinion a bit "critical", because then you have less players on the wings who can bring the ball in the middle...

With 2 strikers I would play like this:

..................X..................
..X..............................X..

etc.

I played already a few times against Ireland with Svizzerland, they were always realy good!

There was once a 1:1 in the match Svizzerland vs Ireland, there I was coach.

:-)

Yeah, Back when Martin Fairclough had Hair : )

Gyro Was in charge back then.

without knowing the player's skills? not a reasonable request

Give it a shot.

Just fire up any oul tactic. That's what i do every saturday at about 10am

well, bosnian manager seem to have decidd to play
with players under 19y/o only, wich makes it an easy
game for ireland to win as u will probably play with
the strongest squad you got.

bosnia plays very deffencivly with 5 deffenders and one very deffenssive mid, but the deffence is quiet slow and easy to pass trough, if you got enough attackers, so i would recomand 3 attackers for sure and generaly an offenssive midfield as 3-4 decent deffenders would be enough to do the deffenssive job.

I'll have a look at them and see what i think would work.

4-4-2 with the wingers pulled inwards.
Bosnia dont commit enough players forward to trouble a 4 man defence, they dont come away from their line and they leave enourmous space in the middle for you to run through. Their wingers lack the support from the middle and are basically unemployed. Their defence seems to struggle with any forward with technique and speed and they get ripped apart by through-balls.
Without knowing exactly what our squad can do it's a little difficult to pick a team.

Something like that i think, dependent on form. I want a closer look at Kukureka, Chawla and Sanabria amongst others.

McKeamish?hmmmm...
