Well that was a whole big pile of suck.
I don't think they know how to use Lavric yet
If I was going to choose a lineup, I would go with this for next week
Lavric Denis
Daigo Yoshiyuki Saito Hashimoto
Tanaka Murayama Leandro Tsukamoto
Ezumi
Hato is well past it and we need guys who can serve up a ball. Next week is going to be a must win....going into the break at 15 is not acceptable.

 It's not even that they don't know how to use Lavric, but that Omiya don't really know how to construct attacks at all. Given that their style is on paper a quick-passing, counter-attacking 4-4-2, it's astonishing how rarely this results in chances being created, never mind in actual goals: they score despite this approach, rather than because of it.
Denis is the wild card, the player with the imagination and technique to create something from nothing (and thank God he has done that this season). A guy like Lavric needs active, speedy wide players to create opportunities. He's clearly going to have a good chance at winning anything in the air - but how often do Daigo, Chikara, Murayama, Hato or Tanaka (or Hashimoto, or Shin) deliver decent crosses for him to attack, whether they be from set pieces or from open play?
Okay, there is the very occasional exception, but in reality the answer to that question is, Almost never. It's just not anything that is built into their style of football at all. Even against weaker teams, they're never going to dominate in such a way that will allow them space or width to make chances from the wings.
I've been taking a serious look at exactly how Omiya have scored goals in the first part of the season and will put up a proper post about it soon, but rather ironically there was an exception to the above in the 4-2 win at JEF - surely the worst team in the division - which merely served to emphasise how infrequently Ardija do get goals from out wide.
The first, second and fourth Squirrels goals in that game were arguably all the result of good individual play, but the decisive third goal came about via a peach of a cross from - of all people - Saito, which was chested down by Leandro who'd gone charging upfield to be the extra man. JEF then totally failed to pick the advancing Kataoka, who fired in a fantastic shot. An outstanding team goal and as such pretty much utterly exceptional.

Irony If we get relegated after doing so well at the start of the season. We have to beat S-Pulse. Maybe Sakuma will need to come back!

You shut your mouth, OF. Never utter his name here again.
Hashimoto played about 40 minutes this season and put the cross in that Lavric scored on and subsequently got called back.
The problem lately has been the team hitting the breaks when they have clear chances and waiting for all 11 Omiya players to push up, not only allowing the other team to get all their players back, but counterattack as well.
Usually what happens is......Hato stops, miskicks to Kataoka or Yoshiyuki or Saeki, who instead of running to the ball, stretches their legs out, falls down, misses and watches while the other team goes on the attack. We don't ever go to the ball, we wait for the ball to come to us, which is something we weren't doing earlier in the season. More often than not it's the veteran players doing it.
I agree that the crossing is bad and short of bringing in 11 new players in the break......which won't happen. this is the best team available to perform the roles that Higuchi has in mind. Tanaka is better at crosses than Murayama......and Hashimoto and Daigo cross better than Chikara and Saeki. Saito covers more ground than any of the other 3 D mids.
I'd like to see Tsukamoto get a game with some pressure. Hato can't cover, slows the offense and generally offers not much so if we are going to be blasted, let's do it with someone with upside.
Oh yeah....the reserves won 6-1

Agree with most of that, Steve, although surely in developing a system the coach needs to have a balance between his preferred style of play and the raw materials at his disposal. Regarding your starting XI for S-Pulse, the reality is of course that Kataoka will simply come in for Daisuke.
I haven't seen any of Hasshi-kun's performances yet this season but if he's delivering, he should get to start. It's a shame about Hato because I have seen him do good things on the overlap, but that source of attacks appears to have dried up completely. Murayama appears to be an incredibly limited player.
I'd like to see someone in central midfield - Yoshiyuki or Saito are the obvious candidates - play five yards deeper when Omiya have the ball and really make an attempt to boss the play, use their vision and take proper decisions as to how to direct the play when coming forward. We never seem to have any time to create attacks; perhaps this could be a step in that direction.
As for Sakuma, I only wish my hair was that good and my shirts that shiny.

Bare is about to be sold to a UAE team for a ridiculous amount of money 10oku I believe

Yahoo and El Golazo in agreement on the lineups.....unfortunately
Ezumi
Hato-Leandro-Kataonaka-Murayama
Chikara-Saeki-Yoshiyuki-Daigo
Denis-Captain Fortitude
So it looks like another 90 minutes of Hato backpassing to Kataoka who mispasses to Saeki who sends in an errant cross to Kota who is inevitably offsides.
DOCOMO DAME

Aha, so not JUST that Kataoka will come in for Daisuke, but that Kota will return as well. Excellent. Mind you, that midfield against Nagoya did look a tad on the defensive side.
