Unnamed Trialist Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 22 hours ago, Ansem said: yeah... Montreal was ahead 3-1 against Dallas. Ballou Tabla is sub in at the 71st minute. Then Montreal gave up 2 goals in the last 5 minutes. The coach singled out Tabla saying that " didn't look ready to give more for the team" Ouch So the coach has no responsibility in putting on a finesse attacker to defend a two goal lead? Or was he just trying to give him a runout? My watching him at Barcelona B, he learnt to defend rigorously and always track back, so much so that it affected his attacking play, he was even top of the box on corners against. But because he trained to do this. So I am not sure if he was properly assigned his task. Just saying, as I think that if you want a player, and train with a player, and have any idea who that player is, you use him accordingly.

HochelagaFC Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Having watched the game I find Garde’s comments really unfair. While he wasn’t amazing by any means, you can’t blame him for the goals scored. One of them was a penalty (that he didn’t concede himself) and the other was on a corner. I would have to rewatch the game to analyse his defensive work but the Impact’s problems are bigger than Tabla. Moldy9 and apbsmith 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I rewatched the second half focusing on Ballou. The one thing I saw is that he was often positioned centrally instead of wide right (I assume that's where Garde wanted him to play), I know at least once he had striker Urruti who covered for him while he was tracking back slowly. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think Garde expected more from him playing as a sub. You'd expect him to track back faster since he only has 20 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Wild speculation and complete 2+2=7 but wouldn't surprise me if Garde wasn't really interested in having him and it was more a favour to get Ballou back on track between the clubs. Either way I really hope people can rally around him and he picks himself back up otherwise he could be checking his phone contacts searching for Boakai to room with.

I think Jamie Peters is already rooming with Boakai. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad_Impact Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 My patience is thinning with Garde. It doesn't seem like the players want to play for him, and he's completely alienated at least a few. Moldy9, HochelagaFC and JuicyHam 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
