There’s one thing to blame how shite the Whitecaps are, but Lucas hasn’t been a bright spot or even looked like he’s put in work. It’s disappointing, and this pace does he get called up? I mean he’s been awful but of course we would call him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean other than him Larin and David we are somewhat limited at ST. Akindele, Ricketts and Brym are in theory a step down from Cavallini. He's looked really poor tonight although I'm not sure if that contact on Diop was worth a second yellow.

At this point I expect to see Ongaro get a look at ST. Same with Bair. toontownman and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he’s called the tank, but damn is he moving like one - no movement. I agree though, we are definitely not blessed with options up top. However I do believe that because no other strikers are in form, he still gets called up or else I wouldn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiedPilko Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I'm being careful not to get too down on him after just a few games, or even just this season. Clearly a lot of retooling to be done in Vancouver (hopefully), and if they get that, we should see him getting more chances to do what he's actually good at. He has consistently outperformed his expected goals elsewhere, because he's always been a lethal striker in the box. I don't think that just magically disappears because you're in Vancouver.

Gian-Luca Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 On the replay Lucas looked like he was inviting Binks to take the issue outside and settle it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to believe that Binks is only 19 (and Cav 26).... when Vancouver went 1-3 down I just knew he was going to get red carded. He's still a quality striker but needs service. Bair's goal started with Cav knocking Maciel of the ball. Adnan looks unfit. He has the kind of delivery that Cav would thrive on but can't seem to get up and down the flank with any regularity.

The only thing on Adnan's mind is trying to find a way out of Vancouver with a Gangnam style transfer. Better defensive teams have the scouting report of taking away his time and space in the Vancouver half and then he just tries to do it himself. He left Cornelius out to dry a few times this evening.

Can we keep him for 4 more years so he can be CanMNT eligible in time for 2026? Lol costarg and Mikmacdo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adnan takes a lot of shit and is definitely not worth a DP spot but he’s been arguably one of Van’s best 2 or 3 players this year. Certainly that’s not saying much as they’re a dumpster fire but he’s earned his $ more than cavallini has.

Watchmen Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 As someone pointed out on twitter last night: Cavallini has as many red cards as goals and one more missed penalty shot. That's atrocious for any player, let alone a DP. The team is bad and he's not getting the service he needs, but he still has to take some of the blame here. dyslexic nam, Obinna and Shway 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 What a relief. You could see what it meant to him. But great goal to work to get into that position. It was actually a classic Lucas goal, he just needs the service to come into the box more often.

I think he’s just finding his way in the MLS and should be a force for any opponent to control in the box Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 If they can just get an amazing mildfielder, they would be in business to make some real noise.
