Not much better than Tosaint's. I haven't done any comparisons of the strength of opposition both faced mind you. I know I made this point in another thread ages ago, but the fact that every other significant CONCACAF nation's top goal scorer not only has way more goals scored but also their top player in terms of strike rate is much better than 3.5 - 4.0 goals/game makes for depressing reading. And Larin's 3.8 goals per game is right there with the others I'm guessing you mean 1 goal per 3.5-4 games, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowe Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I think 0-0 or even a 1-0 loss would have been a better result, we need to focus on our defensive identity. /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Arfield and Hoilett alone make a huge difference. Honestly, without them I could see this easily ending in a loss or draw like 3 years back. Once we caught our rhythm there was never any doubt but that first half was a little nervy. Hopefully Hutchinson rejoins the fold in November because we could have a very competitive side for the 2017 Gold Cup, if we put our best foot forward. Personally I think we are going to have the best team we've had in 10 years by the time June 2017 rolls around, it would be a shame if we go in with an interim manager.. but we will.

The objective is to win football matches. We've done that while giving some younger players a run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to start looking towards life without Hutchinson. We don't know if he is done internationally yet, but at minimum he has said he won't be around the next World Cup qualifying cycle. I'm okay with calling him in up until and including the Gold Cup, but if he won't be around for World Cup qualifying we need to move on once the Gold Cup is over with.

kingvikingstad Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I've been watching a lot of videos on Klopps tactics lately because the man's an absolute stud, and I noticed we applied or tried to apply some counterpress (our very mild version of it) at times. It seemed to really work well too, as we'd win the ball much higher up the pitch and be able to make a quicker transition into offense as opposed to trying to break down 11 men which we've proven to have MAJOR problems with! I find when we pass the ball around the back, our FBs aren't good enough with the ball at their feet or in their movement for us to move up the pitch as a unit. More generally, I'm just happy I don't have to watch any more Floroball ridiculousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steedman Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 For those of you who actually care about FIFA rankings, we beat a team ranked 7 above us. Such gains. Mauritania - 96, Canada - 103 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Keeper Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Damn, I missed the webcast. Anyway, its great to win back to back games even if this is just an exhibition. We are now 1-1-1 against Mauritania. Maybe its fitting that we start the new era off with a sound win against a team Floro could not beat or score against. Good luck Benito, where ever you are...
