Will Sydney have Popovic back? If not maybe worth a shot initially with 3 upfront to see of those wunderkids in their backline really do have the goods. Come out firing up front, 3 strikers coming at them from all directions.
FFS, our backline guys from last season should know Aloi$i's style inside out after all the training. He has to get into position to receive the ball, he's not a playmaker himself, and if you sit Boogs or Wilko on him, you could possibly shut him out of the game.
If Lawrie starts a game with a backward step by worrying about THEIR attacking strength and not play OURS, then it could send Kosmina and the Blingers the wrong message. Come out with 3 strikers, throw down the gauntlet, tell them to stop US, not the other way around.
Both Dylan and Matty are big enough to really be a handful for big Poppa - if he plays. Have Sasho sitting behind them to snap up the scraps, and Caceres and Hutch lurking around, and we could really cause some headaches.

The game will be won in midfield. Last week Hutchinson and co won the game from Hakansson, Milligan and Griffiths (of whom only Milligan was close to solid - the other two had shockers). This week they have to try and do it against Musialik, McFlynn and Corica.
4-3-3 is the kind of formation where you need to keep a lot of ball, otherwise you have strikers tracking back and it becomes a horrible 4-5-1. If Musialik and McFlynn especially can win the second balls in midfield and keep their passing tight (as they have been), then CCMs back four will be put under pressure and concede.
That's why Jedinak is important, as he can put up a fight. Because by the same token, if he is back and CCM do win the midfield jostle, they will be able to put more pressure on Sydney's makeshift backline than Melbourne were able to last week.
Both sides should score. Potentially a great game.

I'm glad Lawrie is sticking to 4-3-3 it works really well with the attackers we currently have. We have played that twice this year now, firstly when we were 3 down and scored 3, then of course last week!
IMO if we are going to beat Sydney we have to take it to them, apart from last week where they were pretty good to be fair, their defence is certainly their weak point, and with the inexperience there we have to attack, good on ya Lawrie.

I agree DJ. I also think it is a good time to exploit their inexperienced defenders. They had good games last week but young players often do on their debut. It gets harder for them to sustain consistency as games go on and often have "hangover" second games.
By the way we were pretty much 3-4-3 last week in the first half with Pedj doing very little defensive duties until the second half.
