Grizzly Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) I watched the second part of the first half and pretty impressed by Miller so far. He has actually been the best of the three Canadians on the pitch. Neither of the goals were his fault. He is big but very mobile, good ball skills very confident. He takes a few too many risks for my taste (a bit like Ciman) but so far the risky plays have all been successful. By risky plays I mean he received a pass and an attacker was flying at him and he waited until the guy was near and then calmly dribbled past him which was nice ball control but if he loses it in the back there the attacker would have been alone (a pass to another defender would have been safer). Then later he intercepted a pass and kept an attack going which again was nice and impressive but had he missed it again the attacker would have been alone. Still a lot of promise and very skilled player. He is playing LB in a three man back and looks to me like the type of player who could be either LB or CB. Could be an important missing piece in our still not very solid Canadian backline.

Grizzly Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I was impressed today by Miller. Some have mentioned that we need a good defender to appear out of the blue to match some of our newfound offensive talent. My prediction is that happened today. If a guy can play his first professional game against what is one the stronger teams in MLS both overall and offensively and perform like he did today I think he is going to have a solid future especially as he learns from playing at this level. He was again quite good in the second half. He did get beat once clearly by a small speedy player and partially a second time though he managed to steer the player towards the keeper. He has good speed for his size but he needs to learn to use his positioning better when one on one with a really fast guy. But overall I was very impressed both by his play and various aspects such as his passing, ball control, athleticism and confidence which lead me to believe he could become a very good player.

Snowcrash Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) From the Syracuse highlight tape, he looks really comfortable with the ball at his feet, both passing and dribbling. No idea why he didn't go first round. Might have had a poor combine but he's definitely a CB that the men's program should be tracking.

shamrock Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Yeah we need any kind of defensive help we can find. A MLS-starting CB isn't too much to ask now is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 This is why I find guys looking at our talent pool 2 cycles out delusional. Suddenly a guy like Kamal Miller appears and starts for a MLS team, which is obviously great. Good on Kamal.

BrennanFan Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Also impressive, for me, is that he kept Carlos Ascues on the bench, who is a young Peruvian International CB/DM who has conmebol world cup qualifiers and copa libertadores experience and also spent time at Wolfsburg. Ascues would easily be a starter on the CMNT backline, if Miller is at that level, we may have a real player here. apbsmith and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePouri Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Can see him overtaking Cornelius as the left side CB if he's playing consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need a couple more GK - Crepeau RB - ZBG CB - Henry Cornelius Miller Jakovic LB - Levis Morgan yeah that's pretty thin if you ask me. EDIT: we both forgot Montgomery at Dallas. He was the highest drafted defender. And of course St Claire although it would take some time before he establishes himself as an MLS player.

People can say what they want about college athletics and the NCAA road for soccer players (and trust me, I'm not some NCAA apologist in either scenario), but the truth is there are some virtues to the college path (both within in and outside the sport).
