Piette returning to health will take some minutes away from Kone, but will also ensure that Kone isn't asked as often to fill a role that he isn't suited to. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piette isn’t quite like any other mid of ours. I think he can play a role. He’s also added a bit to his game coming forward. I can’t see playing him ‘box to box’ but coming from Spain at first and having been pushed further forward in Montreal has made him a bit more adaptable than some of us might give him credit for.

A_Gagne Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Good to see him back. Considering Montreal's defensive woes this year, I think he'll be seeing some minutes. lamptern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Piette with one of his best performances in quite a while. Combined well with Johnston on the right side. Hope he keeps it up. Canada could use another in form mid for Qatar Free kick, lamptern, Shway and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked dangerous going forward, which is not normally something that can be said about Piette when used as a defensive mid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronaldo7 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Great to hear that Piette had a solid outing. We can’t forget how much he has given to this program now that we have all these shiny pieces in place.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 So what happened to Piette? He isn't in the starting XI or on the bench. Did he travel with the group to Washington DC? Injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoH037 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 While on the topic... damn.. what a finish by Quioto... to this day I believe he is one of the most underrated players in the region, and I genuinely wonder how much better could he had been had his passport afforded him more opportunities at a younger age.

VinceA Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I mean at the rate he's assisting and bein his usual self I don't think it's crazy to look at Piette as Canada XI material👀 jonovision, costarg and kacbru 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig11rm Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 This season Piette has really impressed me with his crossing and passing range. He picked out Quioto with a beautiful pass last night and I’ve seen him put some really great crosses in this season. He’s sitting on 3 assists and could easily have more with some better finishing from his teammates. Now that he’s added this to his game along with his excellent defensive play he’s becoming a pretty complete DM in MLS.

I wonder how much of his improved passing can be attributed to Henry playing him out wide a couple of seasons ago. I don't watch Montreal too often but it seemed that it forced Piette to be more creative with his passing and perhaps helped add a new dimension to his game.

I was actually thinking about the same thing after I posted. IMO He definitely grew in to that role even though it was obvious that DM is his natural position.
