tmcmurph Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'll take it. 3-0 is much nicer to go south with than 2-0. Yes a replay would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aloyol Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Teibert offers so much than Ricketts. If we want to build this team to face Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico we need Teibert skills on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addona Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'll take 3-0 ... but it was far from convincing at home. Hopefully it can be comfortable down there ... maybe we can get 1 or 2 more goals. But if we do advance, we still have a ways to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red and White Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Fairly solid performance I thought, especially in the second half. We settled down and started passing after our second goal. What's always glaringly obvious is the lack of finish and creativity in the final third, which improved after Tiebert was subbed in. I'll take 3-0. It was realistically what I was hoping for.

jonovision Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Job done. Tough to draw any further conclusions from a match where one team was parking the bus. To the poster above saying Teibert offers more than Ricketts, sure. But not in the role Ricketts was playing in this match. Teibert is unlucky that Johnson and Hutchinson also play in his best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Good result. Should be pumping more goals against teams like this, but they came reasonably organised and to play defensive. Was happy with the performance overall. Should be safe going down there to get through. - So great to see Will Johnson back. He is an important part of our set up and a difference maker to the team. - Another great cameo by Tiebert, much like with the Whitecaps, unlucky not to be starting. He always offers something creative in addition to his relentless energy and defensive work breaking up tackles. - Haber is still an absolute waste of a squad place imo. Yeah I know he is our only physical tall, hold up the ball striker (Could argue Larin offers that in addition to all the other things) but he just really isn't any good. Maybe I just haven't watched enough of him but I don't get it. I've seen more from Caleb Clarke and OO would without doubt offer experience to the squad and good backup.

toontownman Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Harsh on Ricketts. He seems to have found a bit more instinct in front of goal. Teibert does offer more from a deeper wide position but I think generally Ricketts has looked potentially good with Larin and Tesho I was surprised there was no Tesho.

Moldy9 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 You want sarcasm - how about this: Bekker didn't start! Man pages among pages of debate over him and Osorio and for what? Seriously next time that topic gets posted I won't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Gagne Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Teibert offers so much than Ricketts. If we want to build this team to face Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico we need Teibert skills on the wing. You mean the guy that scored 2 of our goals? Edit: I do agree though that Tiebert has a creativity and passing vision to his game that we could really use. Shouldn't forget that a couple years back he led the Whitecaps (and was one of the league leaders) in assists. Unfortunately, his game as a winger is too one dimensional. He lacks the pace of a pure winger, he can't beat a 1v1, and he's not enough of a scoring threat. I think for him to truly realizer his potential he needs to start practicing every day hammering balls in from distance (on the move) and timing runs into the box. If he can do this and develop some attacking instincts, to compliment his defensive, work rate and passing/vision, he could develop into an elite MLS central midfielder... and play a very similar two way game to what Johnson has developed. Only probably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes for all his faults Ricketts seems to have developed a nice finish which is something we sorely lack in front of net. He also does a very good job of back checking. I also was surprised that there was no Tesho. Perhaps he'll start Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I feel like there aren't many of us in the Tosaint Ricketts fan club. Here's something to chew on: Ricketts: one goal every 219 minutes for Canada De Ro: one goal every 268 minutes. One can argue De Rosario played as a midfielder/wide player much of the time but so has Ricketts under Floro. We don't have enough guys that score to have someone like Tosaint be too far from the XI.

ditty Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 For me, it's tough to take much negative from this game. Belize hardly sent a player into our half. I like the way we moved the ball and Atiba and Johnson add a lot of class to our midfield and think we will be even harder to break down than we were during the Gold Cup (although tonight isn't a good indicator). I'd also like to see Teibert in Belize and maybe Akindele in for Nakajima-Farran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teibert is unlucky that Johnson and Hutchinson also play in his best position. In the next round w ll face tougher oppositions. Sure Ricketts has ton of speed but I think Teibert game (better passer, dribbler and soccer IQ) should help us more on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aloyol Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 You mean the guy that scored 2 of our goals? I couldn t care less about goals against Belize. It s like saying Kenny has won the starting job with a shutout against Dominica... I m speaking of his game in general. Yeah, nice he could score but I don t like his game in the build up play. Lot s of bad touches and unless he has space he ll do very little. I just feel Teibert offers much in that regard and has more potential against better team.

aloyol Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I don't think Teibert is a wide player anymore. Carl Robinson seems to think that way, at least. I think he still has it. It s certainly not an unfamiliar position for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditty Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 If the CONCACAF website is accurate, they have played over 9 minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half in Jamaica. Serious injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldy9 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yeah I wasn't too impressed with NF play. Lots of wasted chances. I think he had one give shot on net and a volley that went to the Ferris Wheel. Hope someone else gets to start in his place. Sucks about DeGuzman. Teibert had an impact on the field wish he could start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 People bash Ricketts - and I get it- but at least he scores goals for us (whether or not he only does that against tiny Island nations). Good Hutch and Will looked solid Teibert was good in limited minutes Bad Issey was terrible IMO Larin was poor and wasted some good chances Would have been nice to see a young guy like Petrasso or Gasparotto get their first cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
