I understand Henry is trying to convert Bayiha to a RB but he is clearly behind ZBG at this time. Right now, I'd say probably no. Bayiha is injured right now and the other option would be Raitala who was injured yesterday. (I honestly don't know who else could play RB for the Impact) Norrin Radd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 ZBG has had a really good first half offensively for the Impact. Not sure who was supposed to be marking Teal on the NE goal, but it was on the right side of the box so ZBG may have been one of the responsible parties. But other than that, he has looked good in the attacking half. Club Linesman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Early days for sure, but so far this game and in the games vs Saprissa, he has been a key figure in attack. If this is a preview for his role with the Impact this season, Brault-Guillard will have a big year ahead of him. That kind of pivotal role could be huge for his continued development.

baulderdash77 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 ZBG really is super talented. If he can lock down a starting spot this year it will really help him in this key year. The 20-23 years are so critical for development and he’s right in it. I hope he can round into form like this all the time.

toontownman Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hope the injury isnt too serious. Would be surprised if Impact dont push to keep him for their game during olympic qualifiers. Hope not he is definitely number 1 starting RB if he goes and could be a key part of any potential success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was amazing today. dyslexic nam, cronaldo7 and toontownman 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question: now that he seems to be on a roll for the Impact is it better for his development to go to Olympic qualifiers or stay with Thierry?

baulderdash77 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 If he’s starting every week then the Impact probably won’t release him so it won’t matter. toontownman, johnyb and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is his backup at Impact? Ideally he comes as he clearly has the spot nailed down I dont think it will harm his impact career. Think it's more likely impact wont want to lose him. It is one game he will miss isnt it? Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a misconception that if your with the Olympic team your going to miss a bunch of games, reality is it could only be 1-2 depending on how we do. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Well both tfc and impact only have one game during the olympic qualifying dates. It ends on the 1st. Next MLS games on the 4th. Arguably that could be tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMFC already have two starting d-men out injured, Bayiha (his replacement) is healthy, however i doubt they'd be competitive fielding that many #2s. I don't think they can afford to let him go, not sure Henry can be that generous. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Thought Brault-guillard has a good game today. Nice to see the attacking side of his game. Loved the Alphonso Davies impression. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then thats presuming Kinumbe won't get picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine when you're a winger, but wingbacks have to be able to get up on the outside. Reason why Laryea does well.

toontownman Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I know you weren't alone in saying that so I'm likely out to lunch! I didnt feel that at the time. I thought he overlapped as much as he cut in and mixed it up, I don't mind that on occasion, I guess it depends on the partnership with the winger. I'm not advocating for him to start at RB by any means but in a tight roster if ZBG cant come I am ok with him being back up RB to Godinho. Its Bayiha or Chung otherwise. I guess I'm just biased and want to work abzi into the squad lol. If we are sacrificing any position its LB as Cornelius and miller could cover there. Anyways back to ZBG. Think he has a good shot at making MNT RB slot his own. Laryea seems stuck back behind Auro and Cordova seems out of favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what he has shown in the first 3 games this year, I am inclined to agree - though Laryea def has a solid claim for the position as well. It is a nice problem for Herdman to have.

Nate3322 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Man the footballing gods aren't liking Canadians in the MLS right now. No Miller in 23 and Tesho on the bench for Orlando, Waterman injured and now ZBG has been benched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming they like him but want Taider or Wanyama to run the midfield ahead of him. He wasn't terrible in the first half. Basically playing his game but out wide while making some decent runs forward. His speed and passing abilty might really hinder him in this position long term I would think. The impact desperately need creative players in the second half though. Edited July 10, 2020 by JuicyHam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid-Tone Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Yeah, it is mos def bizarre! Hopefully there's a reason behind it, whether it's ZBG not being fully fit for some reason, or maybe even for tactical purposes. Perhaps something Henry wants to deploy specifically against the Revs. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
