The El Tri boss has been reluctant to change his starting alignment, but will benefit from making a switch, writes Jon Arnold.
Miguel Herrera has learned from the Copa America.
Though doing it grudgingly, the Mexico manager is going to start Wednesday's friendly against Honduras with a four-man back line ("It seems to me a lot of people like it," he quipped). It's not that the 4-4-2 is going to be the magic bullet for Mexico, but Herrera got his tactics wrong in the Copa America, rigidly sticking with his 5-3-2 formation as injuries made it less and less practical.
