Myanmar will sit back and likely counter so we'll have most of the possession. Due to that, we'll need to have players that can find pockets and score in tight areas because its not very likely Myanmar will come out of their defensive formation. I think of how Eddie Johnson was used against Panama's defense last Gold Cup in that they would move him to the left wing that pulled a CB out of position leaving room for midfielders to run into that open area for goal opportunities. Hyndman would need to lead and find those wholes. Super subs would be Jamieson (I could see him start and Allen come on instead too) and Arriola with their speed late. Backline...if Payne starts over either fullback is possible. This first game seems to be the best time for defensive backline to not be pressured most of the game.
