Diego done for the year?

It looks like the tabloids are convinced that Diego is a goner for the season after yesterdays red card on the Stoyanov challenge (not surprisingly Iemoto gave the card........he of the Xerox cup fiasco).

Usually, the league gives an automatic game suspension on reds plus games for the degree of severity. Diego and the team are apologizing for the card, signaling that there was some merit to it (I didn't see it so I don't know). Anyhow the team is pulling for a 1 game suspension.....which would be tacked onto the 2 gamer that he's already out for.

The question now is, what kind of lineup does Hashiratani put out

BEFORE THE INJURY/SUSPENSION

Hashiratani went with a 4-4-1-1


Hiramoto

DIEGO
Shibasaki Iio

Sugawara Fukunishi


Hattori Nasu TSUCHIYA Fukuda


Doi


Well, not sure who goes where or what formation will be put in place. Last year they toyed with 3-5-2 and maybe they do it again..............It might look like this



Hiramoto Iio


Fukunishi

Shibasaki Fukuda


Sugawara Tomisawa


Hattori Hagimura Nasu


Doi

Pack the middle and put speed on the wings while letting Fukunishi be the main schemer


Or they could go 4-4-2


Iio Hiramoto


Fukunishi Hiroyama



Sugawara Fukunishi

Hattori Nasu Tomisawa Fukuda


Doi

Oguro could help if he comes back in decent form and Kawano might be back soon to pitch in.
