spitfire Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I also don’t understand this team. All the want to do is play backwards. Putting themselves under more and more pressure. And when they do go forward it’s an old hit and hope bs. Liam’s and Aidan keep showing to feet and they won’t play the ball. It is so frustrating watch. 1-0 at half should be more. Hope they can change a few hinges at half tone. Btw Derek in a boot on the bench!!! Bother Liam and Aidan have had a good chance each bt that’s about it...

Jith12 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 2-1 at about the 75th I think. Choiniére with the goal. Edit: 2-1 Final Canada finishes sixth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 What's going on with Sadiki? He only played 1 game. Is he injured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diego Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Twardek at right back makes sense from my (very) limited viewings of him. Not sure he has the skill or quickness to play wing at the next level, but he does look to have some stamina and tenacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 from the squad list posted on Canada twitter it appears that Breza was selected. Perhaps Herdman decided to go with just 2 keepers or Breza got injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrennanFan Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Its fine, but we could have done better. Didnt catch this game, but based on the group stage, Herdman's "tactics" (and I use that term loosely) are thus far looking very ordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree I think we did really well, we played in the toughest group and we came second in the group with no losses, and losing to France 2-1, hey well done boys ! Now in anything there are some negatives and positives that we can take from this tournament. I just hope we can learn from negatives and ride The positives. To the guy that says poor selection players I have to disagree, there’s some few players that I would have like selected, overall it was a nice mix of MLS And europe. Age group was a good mix, all are eligible for Olympic qualifiers and the U 20. It’s an exciting time and we need to play more tournaments like these! I would love to see canada maybe create our own you tournament like this, we are going to have the stadiums now across the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 This team did really well, and exceeded expectations. Strange line-up for the last match but I'm sure fatigue, niggling injuries and knocks and some squad rotation played a role. I think most of us would have taken 1 win, 2 draws and a loss coming into the tournament. I think a good number expected we would be blown away. So I can't complain about a 2-1 loss to France. @SpecialKlove the idea of an annual or biennial youth tournament - we'll have the stadiums but we'd need a lot sponsorship money. The event would not be a huge draw card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilero Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 If we are expecting 6th at this or any other tournament, we are accepting being ordinary as always. The tactics were too safe and unimaginative. I like some of the player selections, but it is still not good enough. We need new minds and new thinking. Just my opinion...

Brazilero Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I thought Zambrano was a very good option for the Men's program. Herdsman and Biello need time to marinate, so they will obviously play it safe. However, our talent pool has players that we could use to play a bit riskier and open up a bit. These players have good speed and technical ability. We tend to select the same type of players. Hard working, hard tackling, tactically sound, but not enough creativity. At some point we need to select athletes that represent a change in tactics and strategy. Sometimes those athletes are not model citizens but their talent is very high. we need to see those players at some point, because they are game changers. Time for a change in our thinking and recruitment. Liam Miller is a great young player, but they need to let him go for it and carve out his own identity within the team. Just my two cents.

Pottsy3 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'm surprised that the Sportsnet Article cited Jonathan David as one of the standout performers. Personally I was underwhelmed by Jonathan David. I'm sure that can be partially attributed to a lack of service in the final third, but it's hard to call him a standout performer for me. It was noticeable however when he was off the field. With Bair and Daniels up top I sometimes forgot we even had a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit over the top to assert, "No player at the tournament had [David's] level of vision", to say the least. But he is really one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
