    1. Stephen Palla might miss the Bahrain game because he'll get married on June 7 (says the news)
      Aguinaldo and Sato's senior games experience is badly needed in SEA games they might miss the WCQ this June

  2. Now that Jason de Jong is back in the Philippines, I think it would be a good idea to include him in the lineup as a sub, especially if Sato and Aguinaldo will end up being sent to the SEA games.

    1. He already retired from the NT.

  3. @ jonny

    No Manny Ott in your roster? hehe. For me he's nailed on starter for the NT.

    There's also too many defenders, specifically CB's. Aguinaldo should be with the U-23's. I'd also include OJ instead of Doctora.

    It could also be argued that Ingreso should be with the U-23's as well.

    1. Ott, OJ, Aguinaldo, and Sato will highly likely be in SEA Games instead of Bahrain match, not sure about Hartmann though
      Ott will be the source of SEAG football group A's intimidation
      OJ plays midfield he's not a forward like doctora
      Ingresso is a direct NT player recruit since no mentions of him To be playing for U-23
      No news about gilmar "neymar" fernandez though

    2. Ott is a shoe-in for the NT. He's the only real all action CM we've got that also has some quality.

      If Palla is really available, then it would be alright for Sato to join the SEAG squad.

      OJ does not play in midfield unless he plays as an AM which he doesn't really play. In the new system he plays in the forward line. Plus we've got other players like Doctora but with more to offer.

      Of course Ingreso will be with the NT. But it can be argued that he should be the with U-23's. He "only" plays in the Regionaliga and for an attacking mid which he is, he's only scored one goal all season. It doesn't tell his whole story but it gives a glimpse of where he's at.

  5. My personal Azkals prediction of starting XI and subs:
    Formation: 3-4-3 Offensive easy shift to 5-4-1 for defense
    3-4-3 offensive formation
    Muller(GK)
    Rota(RB)-Silva(CB)-Guirado(LB)
    Steuble(RM)-Lucena(RCM)-Reichelt(LCM)-Ramsay(LM)
    Bahadoran(RW)-PYH(ST)-Shrock(LW)
    Subs:
    Patiño for PhilY
    JamesY for Steuble
    Doctora for Misagh

    1. That's a suicidal lineup

      Delete
    2. Coach used that 3-4-3 formation against bahrain last march, it was suicidal but was worth trying
      FT score was 2-1 bahrain win
      Bahrain didn't play the typical mid-east tactic "slow start" they Scored 2 goals in 2 minutes
      A goal In 2nd half isn't enough for a comeback
