If you're Scolari, how would you replace Neymar and Silva?

I'm sliding Oscar inside, Willian out wide, and Dante in Silva's spot. Keeping the changes to a minimum is the best option imo.

I think Scolari knows joga bonito isn't going to win the WC. Brazil's going to have to keep doing it ugly.

in the ESPN after show when they were going through possible lineups, one had gustavo playing CAM

if that happens, shite will be UGLY

is Jo good in the air? putting hulk wide left and oscar wide right, with willam playing a CAM/CF role based on speed may be doable

Oscar inside for Bernard.

Oscar in the #10 is what helped them win the confederations cup, while he has still looked OK on the wing, they go from 2 playmakers to 1 when they moved Neymar inside. Also part of why Fred has looked worse imo.

No matter what Scolari does to replace Neymar and Silva Brazil will be playing a man down until he puts Fred's invisible arse on the bench. I'm tired of watching Hulk try to beat multiple defenders single-handedly to get a left footed shot because he has no confidence Fred will be there to receive a cross.

ETA: Watch Fred have a monster game just to shut me up.

Update: Dante replaces Silva. Gustavo and Bernard replacing Paulinho and Neymar. No Willian. Looks like Phil wants to take this fight into the midfield.

Cant really replace those 2 guys with just another player. They are the top 2 players for Brazil and its not really close.

Just gotta hope the other great players step up, like Luiz, Oscar, Hulk, etc. And hope that whoever you put in for Neymar and Silva do their job first and foremost and play within the squad.

Looks like Scolari is saving Willian to perhaps replace a tired Oscar is in the second half.
