Stryker911 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 There has been a couple of times his defenders cleared away balls for corners when they didnt need to. I wonder if he is not being vocal enough on crosses into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall hearing him shout “away” once that was rightly then cleared by a defender, but I wonder if he is hesitant on the “leave it” calls.

First instinct is they should keep him, but maybe this is also the time they look to move him on (if there's a team in Europe that's interested) and promote Hasal up to the starting role. Hasal didn't do great in their last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he was playing behind a defense that consisted of a rookie defensive midfielder playing center back and a poor right back playing left back against one of the best teams in MLS. I'm not going to penalize him too harshly for that game. He's been strong in others. Cblake and Ruffian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are games he looks like a world-class shot-stopper, but there are other games where everything looks so shaky - as in, shot-stopping, handling crosses, distribution, decision-making - literally everything. Really hope it's just an age thing, but his consistency right now is suspect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 With my Whitecaps shirt on, I'd like Max to stay because I believe that, if he does, he'll be recognized as an elite MLS 'keeper as he enters his prime years. However, with my Canada scarf draped over my shoulders, I'd love to see Max move on to bigger and better while Hasal gets a few years as a regular starter in MLS to see how well he grows into it.

In the two away games he has let in a single goal in Azteca. That is pretty impressive. On this day after thanksgiving, I will say that I am thankful Max has stepped up to the point where Borjan going down doesn’t cause me huge concern about our keeping situation (other than reduced depth). And I don’t mean that in any way to disrespect Milan, but Crepeau has shown he is starter-quality. I watched the game on a stream on my laptop sitting behind my desktop monitor while I was trying to get some actual work done. I didn't see who it was who egregiously gave the ball away while we were looking to break on them. That giveaway directly lead to the shot that Max had to save, and, thus, to the last-second corner that we had to defend. Who was that player?

Pretty sure it was Shaffelburgh that you are referring to. I am sure he was nervous but that was terrible. As you’ve said, that giveaway led to two chances against us when it should have been us putting Jamaica under pressure.

VinceA Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Had a pretty poor game for Vancouver when they needed him the most. That lonh shot from Zusi wasn't a good look for him. I can see why ultimately Borjan is the #1. Just having a few inches can be massive, especially if you're caught wrong-footed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he didn't. 2 in close deflected goals that he had no chance and a great shot that maybe, maybe he could have had. Loss surely wasn't on him. johnyb and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Not sure if it was mentioned elsewhere, but he finished 5th in goalie of the year voting. Turner ran away with the award. There wasn't much difference in voting from 2-5. I feel like he deserves a bit of recognition in player of the year voting. Tremendous at Vancouver and the Gold Cup. 2 huge games against Mexico, stepping in for Borjan whenever needed.

Obinna Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I don't mind this. Opens up a chance for Hasal to show his stuff. We could possibly have 3 Canadian MLS starting keepers at the start of the season, 4 of St. Clair gets another chance in Minnesota.

Shway Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I love when Canadians go to American MLS teams. Let's hope this means the Caps go with Hasal or trade for Pantemis, and less of Borjan.

Approve My Account Pls Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Not to say this will happen, but if Crepeau were to get shipped out of Van to make room for Borjan, that could make the dynamic veryyy interesting indeed ghostknownunknown and reggietfc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
