Ngravs9 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Nothing that makes me more happy then cheering on a Canadian every Saturday morning! I think he played well and was a big part in holding the fort to keep the lead Oranje, nolando, johnyb and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Anybody else think like me that Arfield could be a real game changer on Friday? Having him and Hutchinson together on the pitch could be something special. I'm always comparing us to the 07 gold cup team because I've never seen us play as good football as we did that tournament. We had a prime dero, gerba, hutch and jdg. Hoilett, Hutch, Arfield and Larin are equal or better than the above four were then. I'm so excited to see what Arfield can bring the Honduras who by the way, haven't seen him before. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I love what he brings to the MNT, so I am cautiously optimistic. I have learned to temper expectations to mitigate disappointments, but I am as hopeful as I can allow myself to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited, but I think in your comparison 2007 is better than today: Prime Dero = Hoilett Prime Hutch > 2016 Hutch Prime JDG > Arfield Gerba > Larin (as of right now) My opinion! jpg75 and Grizzly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all of these except Hutch. In 2007 he was (mostly) playing out of position as a wide midfielder for Copenhagen. Now, he is playing in a more influential position on a better team in a better league. There is no sign, at least at club level, that age is taking a toll on his play.

theaub Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Arfield in the middle should help give Atiba a bit more space - Johnson + JDG were brutal against Mexico which meant they could just mark Atiba out of the match jonovision 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohanz Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Burnley made a record signing for midfielder and Irish national Jeff Hendrick.

Every time he was near an Everton player with the ball, I was worried he was going to get his second yellow. Brilliant finish and man of the match. Any chance Vokes' goal was a result of a through ball from Arfield rather than a "weak effort" on goal as stated by some Scottish announcer?

Not sure if I saw it right, but in one replay it looks like it hits a defender and that took some of the sting out of it. Also fooled the keeper a bit due to the deflection. Arfield's goal was really well taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the first goal it was a nice run by Arfield that got his shot off but it was weak and I think it did have a deflection that made it look really weak. So he was a big part of getting the ball to the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete Homer Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 How has his new teammates made him feel welcome? What is his early impressions on the association and Findlay? (he'll obviously softball it but it could be neat to hear regardless) What was the process of wooing (appealing to him? Not sure on best word) like? Anything he's learned about playing in CONCACAF? ... Maybe ask him about going to bat for Jimeau. Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Yeah, but people keep giving Floro the credit for all the commitments during his tenure, just wondering if he had anything to do with it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Does he prefer to play centrally or on the flank? What does he think or know about the Gold Cup? Has anything changed for him at Burnley now that he's an international player? Who does he fancy in the Eastern Conference final? Toronto or Montreal?
