Nate3322 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I thought he played quite well today other than the poor marking on Petersen's goal. Edited January 17, 2021 by Nate3322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the ball was flicked at the front post and it was a crazy spot to put a header on goal from I am not saying he had a bad day but I have definitely noticed that he can lose markers in the box or give them more space than he should. If he is to consistently be one of the best left back in the world, I think he needs to improve in that area. Both the goal and the crossbar hit that would have had the game end in a draw were due to loose marking. Not trying to be overly critical - I just think his defensive marking is the part of his game that needs to catch up with his offensive contributions.

That Haiti winning goal still make me feel beater today...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Kudos to Hansi Flick for taking Davies off just as David was about to start for Lille so we could all switch streams. Now there's a coach who truly understands the needs of Canadian soccer fans. N1ckbr0wn, gator, MtlMario and 18 others 12 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aird25 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I still think he’s been a step behind where he was at last season. I hope he gets back to that level soon longlugan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was to be expected after the run they went on last season/not having a full offseason to recover and recharge. I expect the uptrend to come again. When the moment is right.

I hope he gets back to that level soon Agreed, he is certainly not as active/involved as he was last season. Maybe the injury is still nagging at him? However, I thought he was very solid defensively today (only watched the first half so far), breaking up numerous plays down the wing. With the exception of his man sending in the cross on the goal - which was very close to offside (the pass to Keeboo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I suspect it's more a case that he's just being asked to play more conservatively. Or maybe a natural sense of "I'm no longer a rookie trying to prove myself so I don't have to attempt to dribble past every member of the team". But I suspect the former. Bayern score a ton of goals but they still give up too many for a team that has aspirations to win the Champions League. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Bayern take on Al Alhy of Egypt today in the Club World Cup semis. Match is at 1pm ET on TSN. Believe if he plays he will be the 1st Canadian to ever feature in this event. The winner takes on Tigres of Mexico in the final.

I suspect they are less worried about this one so he will have a bit more freedom. That is t to say that they won’t want the win - just that they are likely quite confident of getting the necessary result. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Herdman was on a ht, I wish I could report something new and exciting, basically said it's exciting times for Canadian soccer, the players were in different levels of match fitness at the camp so difficult to assess, they learned a lot about covid testing and protocols, that's about it!

Obinna Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Typical game from Davies. Wasn't particularly challenged on the defensive end. Didn't push the envelope too often on the offensive end. Bayern with the clean sheet. They move on. Looking forward to seeing Davies against UANL Tigres....again. I believe he last faced them in 2017 in CCL.

I wanted to double check that he played them, so I very quickly found the wikipedia page for the 2017 CCL, and very quickly found that Vancouver did in fact play UANL. Then I clicked the Report link to see who played in the games, and it's a dead link on CONCACAF's website. They don't seem to keep results for previous competitions, at least that I have ever been able to find. It is really frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
