Shway Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Black isn't playing much at Duke and can't be picked over players who play regularly at pro levels and Comsia has played every minute of every game for the #3 program in the country (they are undefeated up to now). Black has played in every game for Duke this season, except for the last 2. It would seem as if he was injured for the games he missed because he went from 90 mins to not being on the game sheet. Personally, I don't even rate Comsia thats why he wasn't on my list. I would even pick Adam Bouchard over him, and he wasn't in the list either.

Shway Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Good post but Mallan Roberts is a 92 and isn't eligible. I would put Thomas in instead of Grant but good list. I switched out Roberts, and put in Thomas. Due to my egregious error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I think its sheer madness not to take Froese. He is a starter in my view. Likewise, Carreiro has international experience and leadership qualities that cannot be ignored. Roberts, Crepeau Henry, James, Adekugbe, Stanese, Gasparotto, Grant Boakai, Petrasso, Bustos, Aleman Piette, Carreiro, Froese, Eustaquio Larin, Hamilton, Jackson-Hamel, Fisk Petrasso---------Larin---------Boakai ----------Carreiro-------Froese -------------------Piette © Adekugbe--Henry--James--Stanese ------------------Roberts You say its sheer madness to leave out Froese. I say its sheer madness to leave out Babouli. I think the midfield that Floro selects will obviously be a surprise. Can Bekker play somehow?

Vince193 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 You guys know Floro will play a 4-1-4-1 and be defensive oriented, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Has Eustaquio played for the U-23 team before? If so, I can't recall. His instagram and twitter say "U-23". So maybe he's been called up. I suppose that players would know by now. The tournament starts in 2 weeks. http://instagram.com/manteustaquio/ http://twitter.com/eustaquiomauro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I don't think we have had any camps for it besides the pan am so can't imagine he has. Could actually be an indicator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pint Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 This looks like a solid team, I would have a hard time leaving Jay Chapman off the roster with him getting some decent MLS time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I would argue that Allan Zebie has earned a look on the backline with his strong performances this year in Edmonton. Adekugbe is the starting LB without question, but Zebie would not be much of a drop off, especially considering Adekugbe's injury troubles this year. Perhaps Zebie could have a go at RB, although I don't recall seeing him play there in Edmonton. With his lack of inclusion on any other youth team I don't see it happening, but he should be there in some capacity IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering it's a tight schedule and you practically need two players per position, he does make a strong case for inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Same can be said for Froese, who has about the same number of MLS games, and has played very well. When Teibert and Osorio had the same amount of playing time as Chapman and Froese we were calling for both of them to be called to the Senior team. This shows some progress with the amount of players we have available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggles the mind that Black was preferred to Zebie (and Murrell) for that LB spot at the Pan Ams. Paulus even said they would have released him if asked.

IceCreamMan Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 If I remember corectly Zebie also played a game or two at RB while Edward was out. Could be an option there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Missed the Cut - ...Kianz Froese, I think its sheer madness not to take Froese. He is a starter in my view. So after scoring tonight for Vancouver and being named Man-of-the-Match, it would seem like he is leaning more towards starter than towards missing the cut.

Which is about as untenable as suggesting that scoring a game winner in ConcaChampions was no big deal and proved little. Froese also played right , then was shifted to left attack to accomodate Bustos coming on, then was moved back into the middle. So Robinson trusts him for versatility, and he showed well in each spot. Big upside to this player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Froese will be on the team for sure. The Floros like him and he was a key player on our last U20 and U17 teams too. He's offensively gifted but physical enough to play anywhere in midfield. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see him called to the Senior team for World Cup Qualifying in the next year.

Obinna Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Neither would I. He offers a lot of flexibility. He can play wide left, wide right and anywhere centrally. At the youth level he's looked good as a holding midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
