Bison44 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It tells me the TFC still has their heads up their asses. How could he look decent with Valor last year...and then not get a sniff when we needed a CB in a meaningless game on the road?? Unless they have already decided to cut him at the end of the year...but they should cut Zav and Morrow is retiring so even then it makes no sense?? What would he have done...scored 2 own goals to be worse than Zav?? I guess you cant throw out all the yooung kids at once, but I still wish he would get into a game before the year is done.

canuckgbp Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Thought he looked good. He made some key challenges that saved some chances. Head a header that missed. Passing didn't seem to be accurate though. For a first MLS start it went decently well I think. Sofascore has him at a 7.2. (2 clearances, 1 interception, 3 tackles) Corazon, Approve My Account Pls, dyslexic nam and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkomar Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I only watched parts of the game, but it seemed like some forward was always sneaking by him using his blind spot. So, it didn't look to me like he was doing that well. Maybe I just happened to turn to that channel just at the wrong time, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 It was a mixed bag, which is to be expected. Overall I think you would have to be pleased with that performance given how little he has played this year. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m wrong but the way I look at especially defenders, is that if you went 90 minutes against a team that was playing at home in front of a loud a pretty big crowd that needed the 3 points and they only scored a goal because your keeper screwed up then you probably had a decent game . Dunn made no bone head mistakes he did his job , I don’t remember any times where players clearly got around him . In terms of size the guy is a beast and for me , I know soccer is not a sport where how big and tall you are matters as much, but at center back I want my center backs to be big . I like what I saw from Dunn and hopefully he can get better and improve but for a first game in so many years of not playing with the first team , he did good.

Thank you. That is the part that annoyed the shit out of me. “Oh, look at that. It turns out [insert player X] was good after all. Maybe I should have given him some more playing time in meaningful games throughout the season…” It just comes across poorly - especially when considered in the context of the criticisms that have been discussed here.

RS Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Perez seems to like to pump up his players in the press regardless of how well they play.

If he was specifically asked about the player, of course he’s gonna say good things. He’s not gonna say that he was garbage. If he brought the player up without being specifically asked about him, I’d feel a little more confident that he’s being genuine.

Coach: "I think he was excellent ... Tonight, he proved that he belongs (at) this level." This is almost always going to be the answer in regards to a young player, especially if he had a decent game. Very few coaches are going to throw their young players under the bus in these situations, even if there are legitimate criticisms to be made.

Kadenge Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 When assessing young players one has to look at the full 90 mins body of work vs 1 or 2 specific plays as well as how the player performed relative to vets at the position. Then consider the amount of playing time for the season etc etc. Dunn played as a RCB in a back 3. Not sure if he is best suited to playing there v in a 2 CB with a back 4? He also had a young rookie in JMR at RWB also playing out of position. All things considered for his first start in 3 yrs away to a playoff team...not bad at all Corazon and canuckgbp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
