He now has six goals in twelve games that he has played in. With 468 minutes of playing time, his stat show that he averages 1.15 goals per 90 minutes of play. Phenomenal strike rate. Second best in MLS behind Josef Martinez of Atlanta. You forgot the other Canadian striker - tops of the list: Jordan Hamilton with 1.50 goals/ 90.

Moldy9 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 What's the deal w Mancosu? I think it's time the Italian love in w the Impact famiglia gets a reality check and stop playing him. Biello stop saying Mancosu took us into and far in the playoffs last year. That was LAST YEAR!!! He hasn't produced squat as of late. Time to play AJH.

mtlfan Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Piette puts in strong performance in Impact 3-0 win on Saturday vs the Union. I liked how his passes with conviction and accuracy, defending is also impressive. Impact had 6 Canadians on roster and 3 saw action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt Montreal is Canada's team from a Canadian player content, with Orlando in a surprise second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes for the Ivory Coast then they drop behind TFC to third. That was before this last weekend as he doesn't have the current week included yet.

The fact that he survived there as long as he did is indication that he can pass and receive or he'd have been cut long ago. That is sweet. Got Bernier's replacement just in time for him to move into coaching or management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saladroit Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 3-0 win over Chicago Fire. Really brilliant performance from Montreal. The combination play between Mancosu, Piatti, and Dzemaili was beautiful to watch, and Piette was immense in front of the back four once again. Choiniere was impressive off the bench as well. Disappointed that AJH didn't play, but with another game coming up on the weekend, it's safe to say that he'll get some minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moldy9 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Mancosu will have Piatti on his Christmas list this year for allowing him to take the PK. Seriously Mancosu should've scored 4 goals tonight. Well last years Mancosu would've. At least tonight he was getting chances. Hopefully they'll start going in.

Grizzly Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Piette was strong again, Piatti was dominant and Mancosu played well for the first time in a long time. Mancosu should have scored more with all the chances but he was creating and playing hard which I have not seen for a while. It was right to let him take the penalty, he was the one the keeper took down so it was his goal and he needs the confidence boost. Cabrera since he has come back from injury has been a lot better than he was previously and has been an upgrade on Fisher. However, Fisher has been improving and it is possible that the competition from him and the arrival of Boldor has inspired Cabrera to take his play up a notch. Nice to see Beland-Goyette and Choiniere come on and do a good job. Choiniere still has a lot to learn but the raw talent is there. Also interesting that Schweinsteiger played good for about 20 minutes but disappeared more and more as the game went on especially once they fell behind. I would have expected more leadership from him to get his team to play better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmfranck Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Glad to see Mancosu finally trying to play football again, but I was a bit shocked to not see Jackson Hamel out there. He didnt play at all on satuday, and with another game coming up next saturday, i thought Mancosu would be rested for the midweek game. WIth hindsight it seemed to be a good decision by Biello. Overall, I have to say having Piette out there really helps out our posession AND counter attacking style. Possession : he is able to spread the ball pretty well for a DM. Counter attack : he's a lot more dynamic than Donadel, and wins more 50-50s. Therefore he wins more balls back, and starts more counters. Apart from the team, have to say that the Ultras had a great outing as well yesterday. The stadium was rocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 So AJH scores a crucial game winner and then gets nailed to the bench for 2 games? Crazy.. I thought for sure he would have played against philly after coming off that game and the fact he scored 2 to get Montreal a result last outing there.

I can see why he didn't play last night as they were already up 3-0 by half time and wanted to give some of the kids some minutes, but I would have expected him to play against Philly. It's very disappointing to see the best scoring forward on the bench in favour of an out of form Mancosu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldy9 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Piatti is the designated PK taker. Even though Mancosu got taken down in the box, which I'm certain he would've missed had he shot it and be 0/4 on break aways, it was Nacho's to gift away. Example. Last week Nacho took the penalty when Dzemaili was taken down. Mancosu IMO is still not out of the woods yet. Again he should've had at least a hat trick.

AJH seems to be the unfortunate victim of the IMFC /Italian /Bologna love in. It's partially trying to get life out of Mancosu so that his value doesn't plummet and the brass bias towards an Italian. When Drogba wasn't at his form (and not as bad as Mancosu is now for that matter) and Mancosu started scoring a few goals the King got dethroned. Now you have a young local talent lighting it up and the Italian being a dud while being the highest paid player and he still gets more minutes than AJH?! Another evidence that IMFC mismanages talent especially local talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I made that same point earlier.. how can Drogba, a legend who carried Montreal in 2015 be benched so easily yet mancosu is immune to such treatment when he's been a complete dud. At least drogba always had the potential to deliver something out of nowhere even when out of form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People paid and WANTED to see Drogba and it only took 4 goals to bench him. AJH is at 6 goals? and I'm sure less minutes than what Mancosu did last year.
