gator Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 What a well taken goal! He played strong defensively when he came on for the 2nd half, he may be getting more playing time if Henry's left hamstring injury keeps him out for any length of time!

apbsmith Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) Love the emotion after the goal at 35 secs ^. Glad to hear he did well defending also. Looks like he might be in for a run of games replacing Henry. At only 21 very nice ceiling. Wishing him the best.

BCM Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Former striker shows his class. He's been pinned to the bench since the first few matches so hopefully he's earned some additional game time. Cblake and A_Gagne 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact he has not had much playing time lately has more to do with the great play of Henry and Godoy than it does about Cornelius' play. Yes, he made some early season errors, but the fact that he was even put in those situations to play out of position shows that MDS had confidence in him. With another match coming quickly on Wednesday night, I expect Cornelius to get the start, and if Henry's injury lingers, this may lead to a run of playing time. Khmiri is expected to be back from injury soon, so Cornelius will have to prove his worth to keep his place. apbsmith, gator, Cblake and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Don't see CBs scoring that type of goal. A huge point for VW . He played well defensively and looked calm and confident. apbsmith, king1010 and Cblake 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I had no idea he was so young, really that is very young for a CB, so pleased to see the goal and the playing time. Also happy to see Caps being very stingy on defence these last 6-7 games, and to see many negative results have been due to mediocre to poor reffing decisions. So good for MDS as well. apbsmith, Obinna, Cblake and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 He was probably one of our better players in this tournament. I noticed him way less than Henry, but for a CB that's a really good thing. He looks like an old man, so I forgot that he is still only 21 and will be around for hopefully just as long as David and Davies. I mentioned earlier this week in another thread that they should consider him for pks, but I was shocked that he took that free kick over everyone else we had on the field.

Kent Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 He's good with the ball at his feet. He does simple little jukes to give himself some more space and is a good passer of the ball. I was surprised too at him taking the free kick. He must've shown something in training I guess, but in the game his shot looked more like a goal kick unfortunately. Very good tournament for him though. I had James ahead of him before, but I think Cornelius is ahead in my opinion now.

Stryker911 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Thought he played well in both games. It is worth noting that he is still only 21 and will hopefully be a starter next year with Henry gone.

canadianbacons Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Was in the 18 last night but didn't see any action. Khmiri looked awful, especially on the 2nd half goals by the Quakes. Not sure why the Caps seem to rate him more than Cornelius. Lansdude, Bdog, Nate3322 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence did look ok for 20 minutes lol Also hope Cornelius gets minutes. Wouldn't say he looks any more secure though. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikmacdo Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 So he's basically the forth option on a terrible team at CB. Hopefully he starts next game because khmiri was worse than Zavaleta. Nate3322, canadianbacons and Cblake 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1ckbr0wn Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 They play a lot of games in a very short time, as well as Khmiri and Vas didn’t finish off last nights game very well. Cornelius will get his time Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) You cannot ask CBs to defend right on top of their goalie for 90 minutes and defend 23 corners. San Jose play a very Latin American style passing you to death but st some point your midfield needs to help the cause my winning the ball and keeping the ball. I put none of that on our CBs. Inbeom and Tiebert might as well have just pulled up a chair and just watched the game I have a lot of respect for San Jose they basically play with zero defenders. They went thru about 10 corners before they even bothered to put one in to the box Edited July 16, 2020 by SpursFlu Cblake and Floortom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a CB being asked to defend 23 corners on a sweltering hot night.. I think I would just walk off the field at about 16 Cblake and LeoH037 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuicyHam Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Shame. If Vancouver wins(unlikely) they'll knock Seattle out and play for that runner up spot against Chicago so that's a positive at least Honestly really disappointed he's not starting Cblake and Nate3322 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
