stacks Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Yallop has only acted as coach for a little bit but you have to wonder about his player selections. Kevin Mckenna- 7 goals in 24 caps, this guy is solid in defence or as a striker. Marc Bircham,- a tough gritty midfielder, see ya Imhof Tony Menezes- a capable defenceman with size 6' 1", has 27 caps Jim Brennan- coming off great games against Belize, 2 goals + assist Jason Bent- another tough gritty midfielder with offensive skills Chris Pozniak- another dependable defenceman so Yallop, why would you go with guys like Peters, (17 and unattaced) Josh Simpson,(no experience), pizzolitto, etc... play these guys in the friendlys to gain experience not when it comes down to making the world cup. So Yallop hasen't been given a fair chance bacause well its only been a year, however he screwed us up in the year he had, see ya Yallop, maybe the Whitecaps will hire you for water-boy.

Guest Ed Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 McKenna and Bircham were not healthy and Menezes was injured in training prior to the Honduras game. Bent hasn't played in some time. Brennan is the key player missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fetajr Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 the scouting is horrible within the CSA,... sending scout all over the country you;ll be guaranteed to find 22 players better than what we have already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadienfan Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Maybe the recent friendlies did good for everybody but Frank Yallop. Purhaps they gave him false confidence about how deep are MNT is and who should be starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't mention the beer league games against the UK teams on holiday, they don't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Belize games could be considered friendlies, even thou it was technically WCQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadienfan Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Ed That's exactley what I am talking about Ed. That's why I say he might have messed up. He saw some players do well in games that don't count and he rated them over players that have played and played well for Canada in the past.

James Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 We've never had so many quality players. That sure isn't the problem. Our problems is the lack of prep time we have, the friendlies we don't have. Look at Guatemala and Honduras. Those boys play together all the time. The USA plays a ton. Sampson just won his 100th game or something ridiculous like that. Christ, as a nation, we've barely played 100 games. If you want to see how to succeed, look at the countries in our region that do. They play games. Canada doesn't. How long had it been since we had a match on home soil? It's a freakin' joke. We have the quality players. And even more coming by 2010. We need it introduce these players and let them play together a few matches before we throw them into WCQ. Maybe if we had turfed HO when he needed to be turfed, we'd of had more time to get the program and the players on the same page. To be fair to HO, we did the same thing to him when he finally took over from Lenarduzzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
