Why didn't CPL get him? He'd be great for Forge or York 9. Between Robert and this guy the soccer gods are testing our patience as fans... it’s not enough that we suffer through disappointment after disappointment from our actual team!

I knew the whitecaps would struggle to get Cavallini the ball, but I never envisioned it being that bad. The whitecaps were absolutely dreadful. Lucas was an island on his own. And it wasn't just him, Freddy Montero didn't get any of the ball either. The whitecaps seem to have no defined way of playing. All the players hold on to the ball for too much, or are not on the same page in general. I like Marc Dos Santos, but his group play with no believe and no confidence. I hate that Lucas Cavallini is in this situation, but that's what he signed up for. The few chances he had could have gone better for sure, but if this is how the season is going to go I think Lucas is going to want to jump ship and I wouldn't blame him. The players around him are just not good enough. The French-Serbian did well and the Colombian winger did well at times, but there was no coherency in the attack, just players doing their best to create chances as individuals. Things don't look good. I was at the game, and I agree. To be honest, aside from maybe Malinkovic the entire team looked a step too slow, and a little flat yesterday. Lucas should’ve finished that through ball from Adnan to tie the game. Help is on the way though and let’s hope it’s only up from here for Cavallini and the caps 🤞🏻 Edited March 1, 2020 by N1ckbr0wn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFBF Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Whitecaps are missing a bunch of midfielders and central defenders who people are hoping will be starters. Hopefully the game last night was an outlier... But anyone who has watched Puebla play will know that Cav is used to working with little service.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Lucas Cavallini got a yellow card during our last two competitive matches: In Toronto in October:https://www.concacafnationsleague.com/en/nations-league/game-detail/476577#tab_match=match-details In Orlando in November:https://www.concacafnationsleague.com/en/nations-league/game-detail/476578#tab_match=match-details I am 99% sure he is suspended for our first WCQ match against Bermuda.

We have plenty of starter level players in different positions, but our attackers are basically all based in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOcanadafan Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Let’s not panic too much... if we can’t call on our European players, Bermuda can’t call on their star Nahki Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesho Akindele (as more of a central striker instead of on the wing)? Theo Bair? Somebody from CanPL? I assume we will have our full squad for these games; they would have to postpone things if we couldn't. Therefore if you can bring in Euro-based players is Larin our first choice? Do you guys want to see Brym again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Herdmans interview, he’s going to call the best players available for every game. This means we won’t be seeing players like Pasher playing in the USL unless we really cannot call Euro based players and domestic players playing at a higher level are injured Edited August 22, 2020 by N1ckbr0wn Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he should get called, otherwise, Bair or Hamilton or it gives us an opportunity to cap tie Akinola!!!

It goes as far back as the game against the US away too. However the expectation to make something happen is totally not his game. His game relies on service, and finishing chances created. If there isn’t any chances being created, there’s not much for him to finish. But my god was that penalty awful....I don’t like where this is trending for him.

Obinna Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Cavallini looks incredibly short on confidence. Playing for Vancouver will do that to you. If anyone needs to score a few goals against Cayman to get back on track, it is this guy. I still believe in him, he just needs to break the funk.
