Supersonic78 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Get Ricketts off. He's a minnow beater. We need a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Just the news we needed. Get in El Salvador. Poor half from us. Horrific tracking and marking. No support or width on attacks. Ricketts, johnson And deGuzman have been completely absent. 3 out of our 4 defenders have to be the slowest in the stadium. Disappointing but not surprising. Mexico are a great. Just hope we can keep the score respectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCF08 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Mexico deserve the 2 goal lead because it could have easily been 4-6 after the first half. Such an open game with many mistakes from both sides. Hopefully Arfield will come on in place of the useless Ricketts. Disappointing to see Hoilett miss two great opportunities because he should make at least one of those chances. Other star man Atiba is having a very poor first half as well.

bwilly11 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I gotta say. I love how everyone, including the media just assume Azteca is an automatic loss. Stranger things in sports have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMB Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 we have had some chances, just need to bury those chances. If we can get an early second half goal, we may have a chance to tie this. Need to get our shite together defensivly. We are playing Mexico so I don't expect our defence to dominate them, but we need to do better. That El Salvador tie is a god send right now, best news of the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngravs9 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I hate to put it on Arfield's shoulders because it's his first time but I think a sub would change things up. Also we need faster defence... Ouimette?? Anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 With the SLV draw, goal differential could be important. Need to keep this at -2 or cut it to -1 even. Not expecting any result anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footscray Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Arfield and Akindele on... JDG and Ricketts off. For my money anyway should have been the lineup from the start. I love JDG but he's close to finished. And Ricketts never started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic78 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Per DeVos on TSN, Ricketts gets a significant part of the blame for play leading up to first Mexico goal....so he wasn't completely invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said - Hoilett has missed two good chances but at least he is involved in the game taking defenders on and getting on thmy end of chances. Where has Ricketts been? We may as well be playing one man down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMB Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Agreed Ricketts should not start. floro seems to be the only one to think otherwise. But without those great saves from borjan, this game could be a lot worse right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that wasn't surprising: Canada - 0 shots on goal. gotta do better than that. Mexico deserve their lead, but we had 3 chances that should have at least tested the Mexican keeper.

Stryker911 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Overall pretty much what was expected. Actually pleasantly surprised that Canada is still getting chances. Honduras tie is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red and White Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Cyle Larin is another striker with a disappointing first half. He created a half chance and skied a fairly decent one. Agreed that keeping goal differential is a big deal now. Mexico beat Honduras 2-0 in San Pedro Sula. If we keep it at -2, we're still ahead of Honduras (since we both drew El Salvador away, but we have a home victory against them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 We missed some chances. However, this Mexico team is probably the best ever Concacaf team. Lots of players in the Champions League and their domestic league has never been stronger. They are going to whoop everyone, including the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
