shamrock Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 In Edmonton, he'd always get the ball. I guess you have to earn that confidence all over again. Anyway nice to see him get out there. But I wonder if this is a sign to him that he can get a bigger role next season, or is this a "farewell gift" to him so they'll let him go? yothat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohan Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 May the Canadian players get a lot of mins, but may IMFC still crash and burn. Just can't bring myself to cheer for a rival. Though I did have a soft spot for them during CCL final run. 1996, CNMNTPERUELIGIBLE and Shway 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Did anyone watch the game? How did the Canadian boys look? I see a few others came off the bench for the second half (AJH, Choiniere, Bahiya). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I feel like him and Vargas will end up splitting minutes depending on which team they are playing. Either that or Shome will get sub minutes to close out a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I like all the Canadians Montreal are playing but they need to improve the quality of their defenders. Additionally, Piatti goes down injured, who will create?? Depth is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good young player, but so far in his MLS career has had very little playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyb Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 With that roster, they should change their name to the Montreal Canadians. Think of all the media coverage they would get. Click bait at it's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they stay healthy, I think our boys might be able to hold it down around them. The backline has dumpster fire potential though, and might bring the whole team down around it.

lazlo_80 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 new coach, new backline, possibly half the starting 11 is new. I hope they do well, but I don't like their chances. hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig11rm Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I’m excited to see so many young Canadian’s with good potential building chemistry in Montreal. Piette, Shome, Petrasso, Jackson-Hamel and Edwards. Everyone always wants Toronto to give their young Canadians more playing time....

I hope they'll offer a contract to Canadian forward Gabriel Balbinotti, who played for their U-19 academy team. They could send him on loan to a USL team.

Are you even a fan of Montreal? I'm sorry, but I'd much rather have my team (Toronto) win the treble than start Hamilton, Chapman, and Roberts in net. Although, I disagree with some decisions, like letting go Edwards instead of one of our defenders and Spencer getting time in front of Hamilton. Many were outraged at the fact that Bono was given the place instead of Roberts, but the fact was he is better than him and better players deserve to start.

"Why isn't [Canadian youngster who I've seen 100 minutes of] being given the chance over [player deemed superior by an MLS level coaching staff]? [Club or coach] hates Canada!" will give me an aneurysm one day. When people want to like a player they look at what he isn't doing wrong rather than what he is doing right, and overrated the player as a result. I call it Ben McKendry Disorder.

I think the Canadians we have now like Piette and AJH are very good MLS players and a couple of the signings like Edwards and Petrasso will show themselves to be MLS starting calibre. Hopefully a few of the others like Shome will step up and impress but I don't think we are depending on them as key players. The areas where the team is lacking are not really the areas where we are relying on Canadians. This is a young team with a lot of changes so it is difficult to predict how good we will be but I think if we struggle it will not be because of the number or quality of the Canadians we have, it will be because we are lacking in quality foreigners to surround them.
