He was very active and dangerous yesterday - strong performance. With the form he’s in at RW right now he would be my first option as a sub.

LeoH037 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I feel like most folk on here are sleeping on Tajon, and personally I would not at all be surprised if he saw (hell, even started) the pitch against Suriname. The way the guy has been playing in MLS warrants it, he is clearly ready for this level of football, and more. Ivan and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Observer Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I would consider him starting at RW which would make him and Laryea pretty much interchangeable as he could fall back when Laryea attacks. It also allows Hoilett to come off the bench (or Millar or Corbeanu) if a goal is needed later and these guys are more attack minded. You could even take off an Adekugbe for one of those 3, move Laryea to LB and Buchanan back to RB if a goal is required which would give you a much more attacking formation.

The fact that some have put him at RB too, is even more underrating him. I give two shits about what some European teams thinks. I don’t have him as starting, but he’s definitely one of my first subs off the bench chasing a game. His performance in the COQ and his play with the Revs makes me excited to see him play.

LeoH037 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) It's unlikely he starts, but if he did I would not at all be concerned about it, he is more than capable. Edited May 31, 2021 by LeoH037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely agree which is why he should start against Aruba and then against Suriname I would bring him off the bench as a substitute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised to see him start, just because of the other players we have that could fit into that position. Davies has LW, so you have to fit in Larin and David, one of them probably ends up at RW IMO. It is certainly possible Larin plays as a 9 with David as a 10 though, particularly with a less loaded midfield than we usually have. dyslexic nam and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Yeah, I would be floored if Tajon started. Just seems unlikely. That isn’t meant to disrespect him - like others I have him one of the first off the bench if we need offence. But with the attacking talent we have I think it would be a bit much to hand him a starting role. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we could give him a starting role just as a test run sorta speak by having him start against Aruba and then against Suriname like I said you have him come off the bench as a substitute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Unless there’s injuries, I’m 100% confident that I won’t see him start against Suriname. Between, Davies, David, Cav, and Larin there’s too much fire power to see anything new - I’ll be surprised if we see them all feature in a front four.

(God willing we are not chasing the game) Yeah, it is mainly Suriname that I was thinking of. No idea how we will approach the Aruba game. Could be the same starting 11 to use it as a practice run or it could be more experimental and rotational to make sure everyone is fresh for Suriname.

To me, knowing we only have 2 days off until the Suriname match said rotation and keep our A lineup fresh should be the #1 priority. If going into the Aruba game, we know that we only need a minimal goal differential (ie 2 goals or less) to keep the tiebreaker over Suriname, I would probably go with a B linueup.

CanadaFan123 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I think we'll see a lineup similar to the Cayman Islands vs. Aruba with Davies at LB. I also think we'll see David start up top as he hasn't played a Canada match since November 2019. I'd suspect/hope that both are subbed out in the second half. Also wouldn't be surprised to see Buchanan start in the Aruba match. -------------Larin-------------- Hoilett-------David-------Buchanan -------Wotherspoon----Piette--------- Davies--Kennedy-Henry--Johnston ------------Borjan-------------------- TGAA_Star, Alex, trc2014 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think he is ahead of the core group of attacking players in matches that matter quite yet. AT this point, against a Suriname or Haiti, I would far rather see him come in with fresh legs and take on defenders who have been running for 60-70 minutes.

He may be ready & capable but it would be his first or 2nd (Aruba) cap for the senior team. A huge ask and massive pressure in a game that is probably, to date, the most important since our 2-1 away loss to Honduras in 2018 WCQ. I would think JH starts an "experienced" XI vs Suriname.

LeoH037 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 For a guy that has 41 senior MLS appearances (majority starts), I'd argue otherwise. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely if they seriously consider him a potential roster player. He would need time to settle into the country and then the club and teammates. Pre-season training for French & Dutch leagues start sometime in July as their seasons start in early August. Then they would potentially lose him in September to WCQ.
