Ngravs9 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 If Borjan's team wins or draws their next UCL qualifier they would qualify for champions league group stage. This means two Canadians in champions league this year! Obinna and BuzzAndSting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngravs9 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) Milan and his team have qualified for Champions league group stage with a 2-2 draw (4-2) aggregate win over Viktoria Plzeñ! He didn't play but the more soccer his team plays the more opportunities he might get! Can't wait to watch! * The draw of the groups will take place Thursday to determine who they will be playing Edited August 23, 2016 by Ngravs9 dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I was gonna say Borjan could get his revenge against Liverpool, but... they didn't qualify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 On the plus side, Milan was amazing today against Honduras. If he only eliminated some of his brain farts (and improved his distribution) I'm sure he could hold down the #1 job for a decent European club!

One American Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 He made some impressive stops. But I don't know. He also failed to catch some balls that he needed to catch. And his distribution was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scullion44 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) IMO he's as good or better than Stoyanov but I'm pretty fucking biased. There's no way that Ludogorets would ever let Stoyanov stay as backup though. Edited September 3, 2016 by scullion44 king1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that his own back line is trained to be on top of him in his six year box, I think he does pretty well in that area.

Boominbooty Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 In most of the recent games I have watched he has been the best player on the pitch. How he isn't starting for a good team in Europe is beyond me. Northvansteve, TRM and David C. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balfe Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I was impressed by some of Borjan's saves last night, his shot stopping is excellent but his kicking, especially on his left foot, leaves A LOT to be desired. I quickly skimmed throught this thread and it looked like his move to Partizan was a on again, off again kind of deal, is he staying with Ludogorets?

He has started half of Ludogoets' league games this season. He's not "the" starter, but he does play league football, he's been alternating starts with Stoyanov so far. Hopefully it keeps up but he also had 9 league starts for them last year, so it's not like he doesn't play as so many people seem to think.

red card Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Borjan's distribution has always been average to awful. It's one of the reasons why he isn't a starting keeper for some club. He was our man of the match. But he was naive in kicking the ball out near his goal for James to get to treatment and then expecting Honduras to give the ball back. This lead to the numerous corners and eventual goal. On the second goal, I thought he was going to catch that pass. I think Henry thought so too which explains the gap that opened up at the end between Henry & Quioto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 2 hours ago, dsqpr said: The only thing that explains that gap is that Henry couldn't be bothered to stay with his man and just let him go to score the winning goal. If you have any kind of guts and desire you bust a lung to stay with your man - or leave him in your dust, as the case may be. Henry just wasn't situationally aware and got surprised when the Honduran with a burst of pace made up the significant distance between them at the start of the play and then got out fought at the end.

TRM Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Milan was MOTM for me. Huge game. Here's hoping he gets a clean sheet on Tuesday and we fill their net repeatedly. dyslexic nam, Free kick, CUJO and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no distance. Henry & Quioto were running together about 5 metres outside the box. Henry put a hand on Quioto in the box but before the goal area to slow him down but not get a penalty. That could have also slowed down Henry. In hindsight James was playing injured as he didn't attack Ellis as aggressively as he did others in the first half.

In hindsight James was playing injured as he didn't attack Ellis as aggressively as he did others in the first half. Yes, there was. Right at the start of the play. At the 50:25 mark as Ellis runs onto the Martinez's long ball you can see that we are facing a dangerous 3 v 3, with De Jong being caught well out of position pressuring Martinez and Hutchinson on his horse trying to get back. At this point, Jakovic is about five yards on the right side of Lozano while Henry is about ten yards on the correct side of Quioto not that far from the half way line. So between there and the edge of the box where they are side by side battling for position, the Honduran made up that original cushion. Also, without cover, there's no way James can be aggressive with his challenge on Ellis so he does, imo, the right thing here and shepherd him for the cross and not let him cut inside for a shot (or get skinned completely).

He's in a league much better than MLS. With already a shortage of Canadian players being active in Europe, there's no need to remove one. MLS is below Canadians' level and anyone with self-respect and drive to be the best will avoid it. MLS is community college, and Borjan is already beyond that level, even if he's not in a top league in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best teams are perhaps better but as you go down the table the quality drops considerably. And Borjan isn't even a regular. Also reading your post made me realize that responding is pointless if that's the kind of mindset you have. shamrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
