But it won't happen. Gomes is a bench player. My guess is that Almeida will start. BTW where's Makakula again? The 4-3-3 is definitely the way to play. But it won’t happen. Gomes is a bench player.

He's very mobile and also plays ball. He's quite good when he plays with another striker, a less mobile and truelly "box-man". With PT that's not the case, for reasons we've analyzed ad nauseum... BUT if, just if, when the system needs changing at a given momment, we can expect that a 2 striker front might actually yield something... Considering PT will very likelly play in 4-2-3-1, like in Germany, and not in pure 4-3-3, this change can arguably be facilitated. Deco out, 2 mids stay, Gomes in (I believe Almeida will be in the starting 11), 2 wingers playing no mattter who.
