Obinna Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yeah he's reliable depth and when Morgan returns that's more competiton but the positive is that TFC keep building depth. I think he'll have a "hamilton/chapman/delgado" level importance to the squad this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastfeet2 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 9 hours ago, PopePouri said: Beitashour is a RB. Raheem is very left-footed. The most optimal solution is Morrow moves to left CB and Edwards keeps the left wingback role but I don't think Hagglund loses his spot. He had a decent game tonight. Raheem can still be effective off the bench. Being left footed shouldnt mean you cant play RWB, we see it happen all over the world. I only say this because Beitashour offers very little going forward, and too many times last year teams wouldn't even account for him in the final 3rd. Morrow is one of the best LWB/LBs in MLS, and scores valuable goals so I doubt Vanney would consider dropping him to CB. And TFC doesnt play with standard wingers, so Beitashour offers Raheem his best chance to become a regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's given Morrow the instructions to go forward as much as possible leading to Beitashour being much more stay-at-home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I wonder if the emergence of Edwards at left wingback spells the end of Ashtone Morgan's time with TFC? They're both fighting for the "backup to Justin Morrow" role. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I dont think TFC is freezing anyone out, they're trying to improve their club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 They see Mavinga as more of a central defender than wing back. However he can play both positions. Also Ashtone was hurt, hence why they signed Raheem to a first team contract as well. Free kick and Ruffian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played wing back in last weekend's game, but the left wingback role for TFC is very advanced. He was definitely stronger attacking than defending in the game he played.

Came on this week and, along with Vasquez, changed the game. He has the potential to be a national team starter for us in the near future. Sorry I was wrong. Not a potential national team starter but a potential national team star. Fastfeet2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just re-watched the match, Edwards was fantastic last night, made all kinds of nice runs into space, was always available, good defending and excellent passing! The one time when he had a shot from a bad angle he probably should have played the ball to Seba in the middle, that's the only criticism I can come up with, hopefully he continues to get games and improve!

Shway Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) His pace and jinky moves reminds me of Raheem Sterling....and like him, what he's missing in his game is decisiveness in the final third and he will be lethal. Got to start thinking there will be some pleasant surprises when the Gold Cup Roster is released. Edited April 22, 2017 by Jahinho Guerro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfeet2 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 He's currently playing more than the other Canadians at TFC, if that continues it wouldn't be a surprise to see him selected imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might now be the first choice to come off the bench for Hoilett on the left side of the midfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One American Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Left back, most likely. You're going to have Tabla and Davies in two attacking spots. Arfield and someone (Johnson, right now) in the center. Hoilett either up top or on the left wing in a five-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Lets not be so quick to pencil in a kid who does not have passport yet, and the other is still deciding who he should play for. It would be nice if both were there..but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
