BearcatSA Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) On 8/30/2022 at 4:24 AM, Unnamed Trialist said: One of the classic narratives that I have heard for literally decades, is that a player can go into a national team camp to get a break from and distance himself from his club situation. Not only that, but in successive cases I have followed in Spain, with most of the leading NT coaches, players who are not featuring for their clubs or are playing in another position are brought in to start, and often play in a position the NT coach feels they are more suited to. So the NT coach oxygenates with the call up. This will then irritate fans of certain clubs, as their more deserving guy gets ignored, or the guy they are ignoring who is sitting on the bench gets a boost from the NT. So it is mistaken to think that the NT coach should have to follow the club situation overly closely, and in fact, it could be argued it is better he doesn't. The whole business of Herdman trusting the back line to Johnston-Vitoria-Miller, when just a year ago we were really unsure about that combo and their club profiles were only mediocre, is a good example. It could be argued that Herdman looking at a striker take a dumb red for a club should just plain ignore it, and even better, channel it. Yes and no. Guys who aren't playing regular first team football or who are even completely shut out of training (like Stalteri at the end if his time at Spurs) are coming to the international match window probably not at the optimum level an NT manager would like, even if serving in a particular role with NT. However, we could see this definitely unfolding in the Henry-Waterman situation, but that's for the relevant thread.

Unless Ugbo steps up we need a true striker in the roster. Tesho? Is anyone serious with that? I wasn’t particularly serious about Tesho, but he is putting up goals in the same league whilst not taking stupid red cards. 220mins/goal vs 183 for Cava is not bad when you consider his 440 mins is almost exclusively as a sub and spread out over 21 games. I would rather Cav wasn’t an idiot, but that no longer seems like a realistic possibility. He’s almost 30. This is who he is. He does this type of shit nearly every game. The magnitude of a World Cup will only heighten the risk that he blows his top when we need him most. For proof of concept, see the Gold Cup. We had already lost Akinola (and Hoilett?) to injury by the Costa Rica QF, which we were comfortably bossing. Cav already had a yellow card in the tournament, but thought taking another one and missing a semifinal against Mexico was the best use of his abilities. He has the ability on the field to make this roster. Unfortunately he also has the impulse control of a gerbil. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lose a lot of our x-factor and fierceness with both Cav and Henry on the verge of being dropped. All we'd have left is the crazy-eyes of Johnston and Laryea, I mean they're scary but not f-you up like Cav & Henry scary. At that point, Borjan would adopt the team bully role, and that's just not what we want. Edited August 30, 2022 by costarg johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an elbow to the back of the head is one extra game, I would suspect this would be at least that, if not more. At least the elbow sort of looked like it was part of the flow of the game. I still suspect Herdman will take him, even though I wouldn't care at all if he already earned his last cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s were I don’t agree with most of us (and the commentators). Totally reckless. His team has the ball, going on counter, and he goes violent on an opponent who is not involved in the play.
