El Profesor Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I expect Fred to start in the midfield alongside Casemiro. Bruno is a much better player, but Fred complements Casemiro better, they've played well together and I think Tite views it as the safest choice. Another alternative would be dropping Fred for Vini Jr. Paquetá would then be the 2nd man in the midfield and the attack would be composed of Neymar, Vini, Richarlison and Raphinha. I would be surprised if we start the match with such a team, especially against a quality side like Serbia. The likes of Tadic and Vlahovic can make you pay for any defensive mistakes.

Reluctant Striker Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Feels like this group could go either way. A bit flat, with Brazil easily topping it, without really looking too great. Is kind of my prediction. But could be a close & tense group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think you'll will struggle as much honestly. So many of your players are in form together and it's not like Argentina where there's one person that they turn to. You'll have a whole team that can turn a match on its head. I expect a win here for you'll. Is Frimino not in the squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serbia is a quality side that can hurt us. A thing that worries me is that our defence is a bit short. Marquinhos and Thiago Silva are not tall defenders. Serbia could explore it, with Mitrovic and Vlahovic. No, Bobby is not in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Vinícius is starting. We'll have 4 forwards and Paquetá will be in the midfield alongside Casemiro. I guess they are thinking Serbia will not park the bus and there will be spaces to be explored in the wings. All those players track back and put pressure without the ball. So it could work.

N U F C Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Not a lot going on here. Serbia have done a pretty good job of nullifying them so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I'd rather have Pedro or Gabriel Jesus as striker. I just don't think Richarlison is good enough to be a starter. It feels like that team lacks cohesion in the midfield. All players are putting the defensive work, this is good, but there hasn't been much in terms of creating chances. It's a bit flat. I believe our best midfield formation is Casemiro-Bruno-Paquetá. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Poor from Brazil so far. Not a lot of creativity in their midfield and their front 4 seem like they've never met each other. Not a big fan of Richarlison or Raphinha to be honest. Martinelli and Jesus would offer better balance. The fullbacks are meh as well. England beat these lot. I said it.
