Keegan Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Not a good result... Dominica u20 keep that in perspective. Our u20s should be able to beat their senior squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Didn't get to watch the game, but 4-0 doesn't seem terrible, considering our best and brightest in this age group aren't even here, and our men only beat theirs 5-0 at home. Hopefully there is a replay on OZ Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there is a replay on OZ Basically this is a team of USL players with higher aspirations facing a team of guys whose highest aspiration would be USL. So 4-0 isn’t a great result.. this is like facing a small towns high school team and I don’t know about you guys but I’d be happy if my high school team lost 4-0 to Canada.

I think you didn't really counter his point that our men's team with world class players, only beat their men's senior team who is no better than a pub team. The only player playing abroad is in the TT pro league. So if I'm comparing.... I think the u20 players should have more drive and take the game more serious than players who are on the senior team, because there window for opportunity is much greater. Semantics, but at the same time let's not be harder on these guys vs what we seen at BMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I think the team will improve as the tourney gets going. Midfield looked like they need some time to adjust to each other. Individually, they looked skilled, but needed to get their heads on the same level. Let’s remember that they had to wait a little while for the game to actually start. Plus it was the first game of the tournament. They showed some promise, but need to improve on it by the time they hit Panama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semantics, but at the same time let's not be harder on these guys vs what we seen at BMO. I was even harder on our men’s team. We had people questioning if their keeper was actually a keeper.. 4 goals against that calibre is disgraceful. Let’s just call it like it is, Canada struggles at even getting shots on target most matches. We have Antigua & Barbuda pumping teams at this level, Cuba, Haiti, Curaçao and Bermuda putting up 10+ goals in nations league etc. And then we’re making a home record beating Dominica 5-0 last month ?♂️.

SpursFlu Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Like our senior team.. its kinda tough and im getting a little tired of playing these Caribean minnow that just bunker,offer nothing going forward and ugly the game up. Super lanky dudes in every position sliding around getting a foot in on everything. Credit to them for doing what they can to compete but its tough to really come to many conclusions against these teams. Im looking forward to see either of our teams against teams actually willingto play football Edited November 3, 2018 by SpursFlu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't have any friendlies before and the games will potentially be high stakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Maybe it’s just me, but Theo Bair didn’t look dangerous, ya he had that beauty goal but it was great pass that step that up. I hope we see Perruzza soon. I really think Perruzza is going to huge difference maker. He looked really good in the 4 games with TFC2. Okello at times looked really good and then he makes some bad passes. But he’s young and if he keeps on developing he’s going to be a special player. A true Hutch replacement. Baldisimo - was the man of the match. His passes were just amazing !!! He controlled the Midfield so well I don’t understand that sub replacing Legault with Campbell and having Bayiha starting ? And up top, he’s normally at RB Northvansteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker911 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 No big upsets but alot of closer games than expected. Jamaica 1 Grenada 0 T&T 3 St. Vincent 2, and they were down 2-1 Haiti 1 St Lucia 0 And now Costa Rica 2 Barbados 0 Doesn't make our 4-0 win look too bad. johnyb and Blackjack15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Expect changes in the line-up with this format of a game every second day. We'll probably get to see Peruzza anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's strong and a decent distributer, but on the ball he seems a bit shaky. He tries to get really creative, but the technical side of his game still has some developing to do. I wonder if he would be better suited out wide on the midfield. Love seeing Baldisimo bossing that central midfield. Edit: or play him up top if he's gonna keep scoring lol His strengths would be completely wasted in a wide position IMO. If anything just behind the strikers like a Fellaini, but he's better suited to a deep central role. He was excellent all year breaking up play and keeping the ball rolling at TFC II, he also seemed fine with the ball at his feet for a 6'4 teenager still growing into his body.(didn't watch this game so not speaking on this game specifically) With regards to him being more creative, that's something his coaching staff have asked him to add to his game, and it will take some time. They don't want him to become a Bradley just picking the simple sideways or backwards pass, they want him to influence the game on both ends.

spitfire Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I actually think the guataloupe team aren’t that bad some quite decent players and a good Gk. I think we look better too at least more composed and moving the ball quicker. The ref is really letting them play too. ... Strait Red 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenFisk'sBiggestFan Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Honestly, Canada needs to fall down more. When there is contact, which there always is, fall down. Guadeloupe is falling at nothing and getting the call. If Canada was to dive a bit more they would have full control of the game because Guadeloupe is quite sloppy with their tackles.

toontownman Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 We were arguably the worst side for parts of that half. We need goals but are having a hard time handling their pace and power on the counter. Dunne in particular looks a liability and verhoeven is being a bit too flashy.
