Stryker911 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Some good news regarding Millar.

gator Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 It makes it that much more perplexing to me that he didn't see the field this past WCQ window especially in 2 matches in CA where we were chasing a goal, hopefully his injury doesn't hamper him much and he continues on his upwards trajectory!

You haven't written him off, but last night on One Soccer, Oliver and KJ were presenting their 26 for Qatar, and they had both Koleosho and Kone listed, but no Millar. 😫 I was like, is this a joke or a twin case of early onset dementia?

Weird. Yeah it stuck out to me like a sore thumb. I took it with a grain of salt though, considering they had Koleosho on it, who technically isn't even committed to us yet. And even if he were, I still think Millar finds a way on if he's performing well at Basel. Kone and Fraser are two players who I would put on the chopping block first. It was interesting how they seemed to address Cornelius specifically as an omission, while they barely touched on Millar. I recall they mentioned him with a few other names that could have been considered. That was strange to me. To be fair, both seem to be on the fringes of the core (if that makes sense), but to me Millar is more in the picture than Cornelius is. Not only has Millar been part of more selections (correct me if I am wrong), but Cornelius is basically the 3rd string for a single spot (LCB), while Millar can play on both flanks and probably up top as well. For a few minutes last night we saw Tajon up top with David underneath. That could actually be a good role for Millar, no?

I actually called it stupid. Side note because the response he made warrants this.(...oh no here goes annoying Shway again) I find it funny that no one rarely ever gives an honest/or reasonable opinion about Liam. It's always yippee ki yay, kumbya or stepping on eggshells for one obvious reason. Everyone wants to see him, and other Canadian players achieve and succeed. So I find it weird when regular posters make strong opinions about other key guys, and leave Liam out that firing line because they don't want to be spit on with fire.

You could maybe argue this in the past but based on current form there really shouldn't be too many hot takes on Liam this past season. He was great in Switzerland all season. One of the most in form attackers we had. Unfortunately for Millar, our attacking options are deep and even if David, Larin are out of form and Davies could be injured leading up to the World Cup, but these players are never getting dropped. So yes, Liam has a far more difficult reality to break into the squad. I don't disagree with your opinion that Liam is on the bubble for Qatar based on the sole fact he plays in a position that we are very deep at. But on form, he had a very good season.

I don't thinks he's on the bubble, nor do I think it's difficult for him to break into the squad because he's already in it. For example, his ticket is booked but there has to be guys who are on the bubble who have strong starts or finishes to their season for his flight arrangements to be possibly changed. Liam's part of the brotherhood, so I would be surprised if he wasn't in Cutter come the winter. Corazon, Unnamed Trialist and jhoops__ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he is further down in the depth chart as an attacker, I'd take him in my 26 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northvansteve Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 I, for one, am certainly hoping Liam is part of the final team going to Qatar. He plays that Junior Hoilett-type role for the team: versatile forward, beats defenders on the dribble, playmaker in tight spaces in the final third. If nothing else, he is insurance for Hoilett and if he is in top form going into the final stretch of games in October, it would be hard to not include him.

Cabrel would have been if he hadn't transferred. I think that Millar was actually hurt playing for the senior team over going to Olympic qualifying. Buchanan has off games, but he has had many opportunities to show himself, while Millars opportunities it's are very limited. I would like to see them both play a game together on opposite wings.
