Kadenge Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Love his confidence. If he stays healthy I feel we are going to see a different Doneil than the player at TFC. The time he spent at West Ham, Blackburn and in Denmark with AC will pay dividends. Can't wait to see him play.

SpecialK Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Henry is back!!! Played really well tonight. Now if we can really convince Ricardo Ferreira to switch our CBs would be set! Maybe it's just me but if you look at Canada depth charts we can be top 3 in North America. Just need that star CB.

Northvansteve Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Very solid game for Doneil Henry. Should now be a regular starter for Whitecaps the rest of the season. Obinna and BenFisk'sBiggestFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Didn't get to watch the match, but as a TFC fan who watched him for years just want to remind you guys that Doneil can look like a beast for 89 out of 90 minutes but taint it with a total brain fart that leads to a goal. Hopefully with age he has improved his decision making. By the sounds of it in Ottawa he was playing safer now by blasting it out instead of fucking around with the ball in his own third, so there's hope. Give him a handful of games and then assess his performance. Edited June 2, 2018 by jpg75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Waston leaving sooner rather than later and it being Aja and someone, Henry perhaps, but only if his damaged body can miraculously handle MLS abuse and regular BC Place plastic.

BCM Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Every time I click this thread I expect to see the following: "Doneil out for 6-8 weeks with a [fill in the blank] injury." toontownman, Brethers8 and jordan 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Would love to see Henry and Waston take on Zlatan. I only saw the second half but Henry was very solid aside from the ball headed back to Price in the 6 yard box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 That was to Gashi. Price delivered the cross. Agree that this was probably Doneil's only slip, though. I also was surprised by how talkative Doneil was in the interview a couple of days before. I remember when he was at TFC, he was painfully shy. He's grown up a lot going overseas, it would seem.

Agree. I thought he was otherwise dominant in the air, blocked at least 2 shots, made a couple of great tackles, solid positioning and lofted a 50 or 60 yard pin point pass to Levis in the last part of the game that put him 1 v1 with the keeper. Pretty impressive debut for his first MLS game since 2014....can't believe he has been away for almost 4 years. Just stay healthy Doneil.

Obinna Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I second the thoughts that Henry did well last night. Good for Canada that he's beginning to look back at his best. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I was happy to see Doneil play well. Very solid. I wouldn't pencil him in as a full time starter. Aja has impressed also and offers a bit of a different style than Waston/Henry. Aja by cb standards is very comfortable on the ball and positionally very consistent. I think Henry is more long term for Caps as there is thought Waston might be sold at some ppoint Northvansteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 After watching some of the Ottawa games and last night, he sure seems different than the raw boned kid that was at tfc all those years ago. With his european adventure behind him, he should be just coming into his peak years as a CB. And he already has damn near 100 games TFC already, why wouldnt he be relaxed...coming back to MLS? Great job!! Obinna, Kadenge and Northvansteve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgkiss Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Henry has never been a great passer of the ball and with TFC he was often played out of position on a dysfunctional and incompetent team. People crapped on him constantly and always seemed to pin blame on him where most of the time should've been pinned on others - mostly the managers. When he plays a simple game within his means, he is a REALLY effective player. He gets his head on everything defensively and offensively. With a strong team around him (that plays well positionally), where he is not relied upon to make an outlet pass, he would be an upper echelon player in MLS. If he can stay healthy, he will be an important part of CMNT over the next 4-5 years. Shortdutchcanuck, Keegan, Ivan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC eh how about a really stubborn coach Canada use to have who kept insisting he was a wide defender when it was painfully obvious even from a blind man that Henry was not a wide defender , but it did not matter to that stubborn coach even after blunder after blunder he kept putting Henry it that position , but what did this particular coach care , him and his son made a good buck in the end and moved on to new adventures!

Bison44 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yeah I dont remember Henry playing alot of RB with TFC. The fact that he has simplified his game a bit and doesnt try to be a outlet passer shows he has matured. Being a good solid defender and a threat on set pieces will give him a long career. I also didnt see many of the rash, physical challenges he used to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
