I still find Ledgerwood and Haber surprises as well. No. They don't have games during the group stage of the Gold Cup and both teams released equally important players to other national teams. 52 minutes ago, Yoginess said: Tesho, Johnson ect are good players that are probably on merit better than the ones called in but can you really say they are significantly better? Johnson and Tesho are MLS starters. That's considerably better than like 1/3 of this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 A quote from Will Johnson just before the Curaçao match. We also spoke about how much recovery and prep time (after two serious leg injuries) it takes to get him ready for a match now. I think he would be there if asked/needed, but I wasn't shocked he wasn't selected: “I haven’t heard specifically what (Canada’s) plans are or what’s required of my club,” Johnson said on June 11. “Things are tricky in Orlando because we’re a team where every point matters. so we’ll see. Obviously, there will be some sort of an agreement reached and hopefully club and country can agree and we’ll go forward.” Full story if anyone cares: https://juneof86.com/2017/06/27/canada-mixes-youth-and-experience-for-gold-cup/ cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I think OZ is balancing setting a tone and being successful now and getting a look at the kids. He was in MLS when Johnson was. I think he knows what he brings. He started v Curaçao. If you're going to start Piette and Arfield, you can curry some favour with Orlando by leaving Johnson behind and you can see how Kaye does if he gets a cameo. Plus Kaye gets involved in another camp. I also think that's why Aedkugbe is there. Right now de Jong is the guy, but he's looked at Tissot, Corbin-Ong, Pasher and Awuah. This gives him a chance to look at Adekugbe too. cheers, matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_yk Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Would have liked to see Attakora or Trafford over Jakovic if we're bringing an NASL CB, but I understand Jakovic probably fits better with a play out from the back strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Some eyebrow raisers to be sure. Most disappointed for Tesho. Not sure whats going on there is scoring, assisting and looking like a very neat and well rounded player at both ends of the pitch. Maybe the pace and experience of Ricketts gave him the edge. For me Tesho seems like a much better and versatile choice. We don't get to see what happens in training though. Adekugbe - I can only assume his inclusion was due to balance and cover. We really don't have much depth at LB and there is certainly a huge amount of potential in Sammy's game. His fitness and lack of minutes is a worry though. Ledgerwood - would have thought he would be a lock likewise Cordova and Johnson. The latter has time on his side though. We look a bit weak in the depth chart there with just Aird (who really isn't a Right Back) the only real fit there. Edwards maybe? or does one of the CB's, Bernier or Tiebert fit in there? Kaye and Petrasso - No lack of potential talent there but more reliable than some of the names left out. Both a gamble but a potential kickstart to their careers. Would again have taken Tesho instead of either but especially Kaye. Happy to see Vitoria in the squad. A lot of hope he can sort our soft centre out. Hope AJH is good to go. Like the potential in him and Cavallini. Saw Larin was cleared to play in the MLS again today too. Overall it is clear and pleasing to see there is definitely attacking intent in the squad picked. There is bags of potential if it can be realised and the team gel. There are many gambles though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazlo_80 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 This lineup screams a team that will play fast fast fast. fast, high press and active against weaker teams with the speed to play the counter against stronger teams.

It's not uncommon for Davies to start on the right side for Vancouver and then swap with Techera about 15-20 min in to the game. He's definitely played the right side though.

hamiltonfan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'd certainly like to see Johnson, Larin, Tesho called for knockout stage. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cordova if we need coverage at either RB or LB. Word from Octavio is that he wants Juan to settle with his new club to win a starting position.

PopePouri Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I think Tesho and Johnson are similar situations. Both are crucial to their clubs at the moment especially with Dallas losing Hedges, Acosta, Zimmerman (injured) and Orlando being a dumpster fire right now. The easiest explanations are we'll see them for the knockouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urruti, Lamah, Diaz and Barrios will be the offensive starters whenever Dallas feels comfortable enough in the health of Diaz and Morales to switch back to their preferred 4-3-3.
