shamrock Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 He's a distributer, not a destroyer. Have to say though he does seem to lack a certain amount of aggression on the pitch. If he wasn't on that Gen Adidas contract, his MLS status would be in danger. His attacking prowess should be more beneficial than his lack of defense hurts the team.

Bekker isn't on a Generation Adidas contract. That's the thing, he clearly has talent and everyone knows it but he needs to decide whether he wants to make a living off that talent or use it in Sunday league. He has a golden opportunity, either change or get a real job and play football as a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 You're right he's not. Surprises me that Dallas even wanted him in the first place then. On topic: Bernier starts for Impact against Houston. Gets subbed after 67 minutes. I don't understand Klopas' subs when they are trailing. Tissot and Jackson-Hamel remain benched. Wonder when J-H gets his first minutes of the season. No Canucks start for Whitecaps today. Teibert and Kianz-Froese get minutes, 22 and 10 respectively. Adekugbe stayed on the bench for this one. Philly gets its first (dramatic) win, as Vitoria puts in another full shift. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the mix this summer. Opare plays another 90 minutes for DC. He seems to make the best of his opportunity. Ouimette on the bench for Red Bulls. Looks like he'll be getting some MLS minutes this season after all. Marcel de Jong puts in 90 minutes as KC draws 0-0 at home. Tonight, Timbers vs Orlando. Cyle Larin looks to get his frst start of the season. No idea how Johnson is in his recovery.

shermanator Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 So, despite the overhaul the Impact remain at the bottom of the MLS table. Early for sure, but really disappointing, especially considering their Canadian talent have suffered with the overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklefan Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Larin scored his first MLS goal against Portland. Orlando is currently leading 1 - 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 It was a good run and finish. He established position inside the CB and chested the cross inside the goalpost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I thought Kianz was the best thing about an otherwise tired looking team. His runs and dribbles at the defenders were the most dangerous thing we did all night. I know he came on late and got to run at tired defenders but he still did exactly what he should do in that situation so I expect to see more of him.

aloyol Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Nice to see Cyle scoring his first pro goal. I was able to watch parts of the fame and I can tell he has real potential. Let´s hope he can turn into something special for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Taylor Twellman compared him to Garrincha, but i think we should hold up before making comparisons to all-world talents. That said Larin has the size, speed and technique to really do a good job holding the ball up and appears to have a finishers instincts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah always nice to get those sorts of comparisons. So in 4 years you can hear the commentator say he was once known as the new Garincha you know! I'm just glad he gets a couple of starts right now. Playing with Kaka must be awesome for the kid.

lazlo_80 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Really great to see Cyle score. Last game he was constantly in great positions just couldn't finish. He could be dangerous for Orlando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Cyle Larin makes the bench for team of the week! How many guys have made team of the week so far? De Jong Teibert Adekugbe Larin (bench) Am I missing anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One American Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Having watched the game, I think Larin has really soft feet, good touch, and good vision. He seemed to play well with those around him. He needs better knowledge of how to find space in the box. And a higher work rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince193 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Bekker not in the 18 against TFC for Dallas. Not surprising after that terrible showing last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Larin started and had a couple of looks, but pulled for a defender before half as Orlando gets a red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Russ and Sam go the full 90+ against RSL with Russ getting the assist on the winning goal as we claim another road with 1-0. Not quite as late and dramatic but still 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruffian Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Marecel de Jong started and played 75 min vs. LA, left the match at 1-1. I did not watch the whole game. Why did he leave? Injury or defensive sub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Teibert makes the bench for team of the week 7 By my count we have: Teibert - 2 (bench) Larin - 1 (bench) De Jong - 2 (starter) Adekugbe -1 (starter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Larin started and had a couple of looks, but pulled for a defender before half as Orlando gets a red card. If I was Larin I would be fuming at that defender. The guy pretty much gifted Columbus their first goal then thought he got fouled a few minutes later with no call (it wasn't a foul) and immediately runs after the closest Columbus player and lunges at him with two feet.. straight red. How can you be a professional and lose your cool that easily? Not to mention he ran away like a coward the whole time after he fouled the CLB player.. and this is the same guy who spat at a camera man last week in Portland.

tmcmurph Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Poor game from Sam. Not his best but I wouldn't say poor. More like average. That won't be good enough but if it is only an odd game here and there where his performance drops then he'll be okay. His defending was okay but he was only 50/50 on his passing.

nolando Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 - Tesho came off the bench while Bekker stayed on it for Dallas's 1-1 draw on Friday with Colorado - Edit: My bad, must have been looing at the wrong week for SKC - Finlay tallied two goals and an assist, and was voted MOTM as Columbus beat Philly 4-1. Vitoria played 90 in a losing cause. - Sam and Teibert both are set to start for VWFC vs DC United, who have Opare starting in the back. No Froese on the bench as new guy Techara, Mezquida are in the 18 and a fit and starting Rosales clog up an already deep midfield. I reckon Vancouver's 7 on the bench are better than seven of quite a few team's starting eleven. Guys like Hurtado, Froese, Dean not even on the bench.

tmcmurph Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Teibert for 70 and Sam for the full 90. Sam missed his chance to be hero and score the late equalizer. Had to take a shot with his right foot and missed the net. Shame because it was around the 6 yard box and their keeper muffed a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
