If Jamaica got all of their dual nationals they'd be ahead of us. The issue for countries like us, Jamaica, FG, Curacao, El Salvador, etc. is actually getting the players. We'd be lucky to get 3 of those 7 players. Who does jamaica have ? 15 hours ago, SpecialK said: your right about Jamaica. One of Canada's huge issue is not getting these players, it's going out and talking to these players. How many times have we read duel nations coming out and saying, they were never asked to come play or they forgotten about or they were never found at a young age and by the time the CSA comes by it's too late. I worry about the young duel nations like for example: Matthew Roberts, Tristan Jumeau ( I bet the CSA knows nothing about him), Sebastian Breza. They know about Breza, and likely the other 2. 19 hours ago, Club Linesman said: Don't forget about Cristante and Ferreira. They would be nice additions as well and it sounds like Oz is reaching out to everyone that could help. When did he say this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 To be fair most are English born but that's a dam good list. With half of them they'd be 3 in concacaf and prolly #2 with all of them. i thought Canada was close to getting Christian Gutierrez ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northvansteve Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Keeping this thread to discuss Zambrano's tendencies as manager: Played a 4-1-4-1 vs FG. Lineup was logical with players mostly starting at their best positions. Took a chance with Petrasso at RB but we have no established starter there (having played Ledgerwood, Henry, Dixon, and Aird there in recent years). Took a chance on starting young Davies at RM. Subs were logical and timely. Nothing to complain about so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levi Oakey Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 What a turn around in this team. It has to come down to manager.

Vince193 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm not sold on his substitution choices. Ricketts came on as a winger, and Aird came on for Davies instead of Edwards. He also took forever to get Hoilett off even though he was ineffective when Canada needed him the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I think Zambrano knows what he is doing. Don't remember ever seeing Canada playing so good. What a waste was Floro and son. jpg75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoilett was going to come off earlier until Davies got hurt. Cavillani was always going to come on as the striker for hold up and aerial superiority. Ricketts wasn't going to be the CF, rather the guy to run down the wings and stretch the tired opposition and help out the fullbacks. Aird instead of Edwards I don't see an issue with.

Acid-Tone Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 This might not be the best spot for this but I'll go with it anyway. I really love what OZ has done with converting Petrasso to a RB. Mike has looked great there considering the fact that I'm not sure if he's ever lined up there before this tournament. It reminds me of manager Jorge Jesus at Benfica moving another underperforming attacking winger back into a fullback position: Fabio Coentrao. And that's worked out very well, both for Portugal and the clubs he's played for. I could see Petrasso staying there and continuing to improve and evolve at his new position. Lord knows it's much better for us than putting another CB back there as other managers have tried!! apbsmith, Unnamed Trialist, Northvansteve and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrasso has been very good: athletic and a good ball handler, but also good positioning and not being beaten cleanly 1v1. Lots much calmer than Aird every did at that position. jpg75, apbsmith, Lofty and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has better players at his disposal though. The 3 goals of Davies were kinda crucial for all results. Moreover he benefits of the work Floor already did (for instance, bringing guys like Vitoria, Arfield and Hoilett into the fold). Not saying he's bad at all, but it's not that cause he has a couple of results he's God and Floro didn't do shit. A_Gagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But another CB should be better in defending basics and, especially, decision making, no? I mean, if Petrasso plays out the remainder of the tourney in a competent manner from a defensive standpoint, what does that say about Henry's overall defensive abilities?

Dominic94 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Dunn-Johnson at TFC 2 could be the long term soloution... I think that Ferreira and Cristante could join the team if we do well at the gold cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Petrasso is playing well, the Right back position pool is getting better. We got Juan Córdova, Marcus Godinho, Fraser Aird, Zachary Brault-Guillard and Will Johnson has show he can play well at right back. Also if someone could convince Michael Smith to come play for canada that would be huge because he could allow our young players to grow and develop, not just thrown into them fire right away . I believe Canada's right back problem is no more. I want to believe that too, Cristante would be an massive upgrade to a central field and he's young too. You would think Ferreira would be easier to convince because he was born in Canada, grew up and played in Toronto. Cristián Gutiérrez would be a huge upgrade at LB. De Jong has served Canada well but he's getting old. Canada needs to Win the gold cup or as least get the Finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 To be seen if Godinho and Brault-Guillard will even make it to the pro level. Can't be considered part of the first team pool currently BuzzAndSting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
