Gian-Luca Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Was reportedly first out on the training pitch yesterday so should presumably be good to go for tonight’s final.

Cicero Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Zone marking strikes again! I guess some analytics person has determined it stops more chances than it allows, but when the cross is good, defenders look like complete knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 There's hardly ever pressure on the ball in MLS, it is one of the greatest flaws and what makes it an inferior entertainment product. It's like NBA All-Star Game defending, as suggested above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say this is a example of "zonal marking", at least not in any sort of coached way. That is usually used on set pieces. When it's an open play cross like this, the binary "zonal or man marking" doesn't exist. Certainly, no coach or analytics person would advocate for this type of defending. costarg and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the 28 games he played, 15 were starts. I think he should stick it out considering they were the "only" ones who wanted him. At this point, he is t a starter and is more of a super sub/impact player. narduch, Corazon, Ruffian and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 There’s some rumour within CF Montreal media that Montreal is currently tracking “two Canadians that play for yellow teams”. If that’s true, I think that narrows it down to two of four out of McMaughton, JRR, Shaff, and Farsi. Would love Shaff and Farsi at Montreal. dyslexic nam, costarg, nolando and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though, Shaff had the upper hand early on and then Picault seemed to have the upper hand. I wouldn't qualify it as starter and sub though, because even when Shaff had a run as the "starter" Picault was still getting starts and vice versa. Neither was a locked down starter at any point, it seemed. Corazon, Unnamed Trialist, narduch and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Got curious to see how many minutes he played and what the trends were. He played 1,910 minutes in all comps, while Picault played 2,263. Picault (starts in yellow - just considering MLS regular season) And Schaff: Interestingly each guy only played the full 90 minutes once. Also interesting that both seemed to start together (I recall this now) in the first 6 or so games of the season (for the most part), then in the middle of the season Picault started more and towards the end it evened out somewhat, with a slight edge to Picault. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Julian Gressel is staying with Columbus I would like to see Farsi move on. He's good enough to be a regular starter from what I've seen.

He's good enough to be a regular starter from what I've seen. Regardless of how he feels about committing to Canada, he's very proud to be from Montreal- he filmed a nice video hanging out in the plateau where he apparently grew up when Columbus came to town a few months back. I think it would be awesome to have another local in the starting lineup, and he's the exact type of low risk, high reward player that Montreal is really after. Next year, we might be able to see a lineup with Sirois, Farsi, ZBG, Piette, Rea, Choiniere, Vilsaint, Saliba. Hell, bring in Bombito as well, and you've got 9 Quebeckers on the pitch at once. Could cry tears of joy. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
