finchster Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Which is a better run? Craig Forrest in 2000 CG vs Cyle Larin 2021-22 WCQ? Larin with 4 goals against the USA and Mexico with two game winning goals and one game tying goal vs USA. TGAA_Star and Cheeta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely Larin and honestly I wanna see him leading our line in Qatar depending on whoever we face in the group come November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is like John Aldridge. David went deep at some point to play as a playmaker, to get the ball played some nice passes. Then Hoilett played that role too. I rate Larín, but he lives for "the last pass till the end of the net" it is his food. No, I wasn't referring specifically to set pieces. He was dropping back quite a bit to support the midfielders in the first 30-40 minutes. I watched him at Besiktas a number of times last year. He was frequently used out wide - although he did drift in to play as the second striker quite often - and as the season progressed his defending really improved. He was getting quite good as pressing the ball carrier and picking off passes. I haven't seen him do that too much with the national team but he is capable of performing that role when asked. The one year he played in Belgium he had more assists than goals so he's not a one dimensional player. It just depends on how the coach chooses to use him.

TGAA_Star Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If we end up in Qatar, could Larin be a dark horse for the Golden Boot? He could but he would have serious competition from other players from other countries Bertuzzi44, dyslexic nam, timmy_14 and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helped that we were drawn in a group with New Zealand, Qatar, Chile, and Larin got 8 (!!) goals against New Zealand and Qatar (we beat New Zealand 5-0 and Qatar 7-0). So hey, at least in one possible universe this could happen! Approve My Account Pls, sebdeserio and CanadaFan123 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in Turkey is bigger than a lot of Europe but it will never get you the respect that playing in a top 5 league, even for someone mid table. Besiktas looked terrible in Champions League.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Given that Beşiktaş are playing right now, I was wondering why Larin wasn't in the squad. Here is the explanation: https://bjk.com.tr/tr/haber/83006/ridvan-yilmaz-ile-cyle-larinin-saglik-durumlari-hakkinda-bilgilendirme.html Larin is said to have complained of pain in the back of his thigh after the previous match. He went for an MRI and both stretching and edema were detected in the biceps femoris. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biceps_femoris_muscle johnyb, Xavier. and Edgewater17 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSoccerFan Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Somewhat related, spending power of the Turkish clubs set to be hit by a drop in TV rights. The league was getting $500M/year in 2015 and will likely only get $150M/year in the new contract. Apparently piracy is off the charts in Turkey https://www.insideworldfootball.com/2022/02/18/turkeys-superlig-races-towards-350m-drop-tv-deal-2015-high-point/ narduch, Cheeta, johnyb and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe OTT is the best option in the long run, for fans and the league but I doubt it. OneSoccer has opened up some of it's content to both SportsNet and CBC so what starts out as one thing doesn't necessarily finish that way. Just as an example.
