Vince193 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 After that second FG goal my heart was beating so fast. I'm going to need an oxygen tank for the CR and HON games. Also I love Davies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycoyster Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Six thoughts on the game: 1) French Guiana is very bad. Their goalkeeper isn't USL level. The Caribbean Cup needs to be reworked so teams like Haiti and T&T don't miss out on the Gold Cup because of an individual fluke game. 2) For five minutes we were very very bad. The back line is a huge worry going into games against better opponents. 3) Excited to see Davies get some goals. Let's hope this snaps him back into form against higher level competition. 4) The midfield played very well. Piette and Bernier pushed everything to the sidelines, the attacking midfield were constantly providing an outlet. 5) Did I mention their GK was bad? Cause he was really, really bad. 6) We can't take too much from this given the level of the competition and the fact that they aren't allowed to play the player that got them here, but damn is it nice to get a win in the Gold Cup.

toontownman Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Solid start offensively. Defensively... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakmur Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Please AJH instead of Cavallini next game. Cavallini was too static. He won us a few fouls but that was more poor defending than him doing anything special other than turing his back to the defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Cavallini was great tonight, huge part of our play tonight. All you can ask of a player who wasn't given an opportunity to score.. let's be honest he wasn't picked out a few times on easy passes. Nice assist on the first Davies goal.

Guest Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I loved watching that game. Is it fair to say Crepeau played a major role in the 2 goals against us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakmur Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Cavallini wasnt picked out because he doesnt move enough. And he didnt do much to get the ball either. It was obvious as soon as AJH came on. I think Crépeau cant be blamed so much on both goals because of how disorganized the team was after they subbed off Bernier. And on the first one on the corner kick it was Cavallini who badly covered his man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on club pedigree and their results in the Caribbean Cup, including drawing Jamaica, I'd say this is a bit harsh. I'd put them at the level of at least Cuba, who have beaten us.

You mean the poor defending and the dangerous tackles from FG, yeah. Any forward holding the ball a little would of had the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Cavallini had a decent performance, but if he has a Canada career of these kinds of performances he's going to get the same kind of hate Rob Friend did by the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Just now, dsqpr said: Cavellini has a big advantage in that he has support. Friend was mostly left totally isolated. When you play up front and the team bangs in 4 goals that reflects on you, even if you didn't score any of them. You are part of a successful offence. I expect to see lots of goals from Cavellini in the future. I think he and Larin will make each other better, either playing together or competing for the start. I hope you're right with all this. I suspect the wingers and Arfield won't be available to offer quite as much support against Costa Rica or Honduras as they will have much greater defensive duties.

AJH becomes more static when he plays a full 90. Not to mention he gets injured or gets cramps. He's great as a super sub. If Cavallini flops next game, bring him on 10 minutes earlier. Also, if Borjan's eye is too swollen, Who ya got for keeper next game? - my call would be to give Leutwiler a competitive debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 This performance by cavallini was better than any by larin save maybe the Dominica matches.. and even that is a reach. Very impressed but I can see him drawing red. French Guiana is not nearly as bad as people are claiming.. I know it's hard to admit but we were pretty damn dangerous in attack. Hoilett doesn't get enough credit either he is such a threat for us, great on the ball. FWIW I thought we were also dangerous against curaçao just not as clinical/lucky.

Gian-Luca Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Cavallini was excellent and I'm surprised there is even a debate on that. Brilliant assist on the winning goal. Better service from Davies in the first half and he'd have had a couple himself. AJH was also excellent Tough spot for Crepeau to come into the match mid-second half in the pouring rain - will cut him some slack on that. We will need more from Hoilett in the next two games. Petrasso at right back was the most pleasant surprise. He was better defensively there than I thought - tighter against his opponents than Aird & offers the same going forward which is probably why he was preferred. The match played out as we might have expected, with Canada good offensively but weak defensively - weaker once Borjan went out. The team should still improve from here. Hands up everyone who predicted Jakovic would score his first to end our Gold Cup goal drought. I think that's the first time we have scored 4 in a Gold Cup match. More thoughts after the re-watch, after I finish watching CR vs. Hon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
