Despite lineup changes, Mexico will stick with winning strategy vs. Trinidad and Tobago

While there will be changes to Mexico's starting lineup Tuesday, Juan Carlos Osorio won't stray from the tactics that led to a victory Friday.

Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio's player rotations have earned him plenty of criticism during his tenure.

The fact is, though, that changes often are forced in the international game. When El Tri meet Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday Osorio will be making at least one modification to the starting lineup, with Rafa Marquez injured and not making the trip to the Caribbean.

More likely will come. While Osorio said Monday at a news conference that Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is feeling good and can play Tuesday, starting him directly off of a thigh injury that forced him out of Friday's 2-0 victory against Costa Rica seems like an unnecessary risk.
