I watched the last 20 minutes. The NE announcers seemed very excited about him. They said he had a "wiggle in his dribble". ??? He made some decent runs and had a chance on goal with his head from a cross. I think based on his performance and the announcers comments we should see him more regularly getting minutes at the end of games. Link to post Share on other sites
lazlo_80 262 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Matt Doyle had this to say about Tajon: Also: Buy your Tajon Buchanan stock now. He's going to turn one of the veteran, higher-priced wingers on that roster into summer window trade bait. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/05/12/armchair-analyst-all-24-mls-teams-review-week-11-analysis Shway, johnyb, apbsmith and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Obinna 8,315 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Haven't watched him yet. NE are such a downer buzz, but perhaps I'll take time out to tune in and see how he looks. He has already played 7 games and were still in May. That would get you an automatic Gold Cup call in years past. How times have changed. I also see he is a '99. He may have a good shot at the U-23 team, but there is big competition from the players in CPL now. The level is lower, yes, but if you are playing and scoring in Canada, you may have an edge for selection over a guy like him who is playing less minutes and subsequently not scoring as much in MLS.

Shway 3,015 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Second start in a row. Bruce Arena must like what he sees. Not watching the game though... Bison44 1 Link to post Share on other sites
toontownman 2,861 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Anyone know what happened with Tajon last year? Did New England sign a RW or two which pushed him out? He was almost a regular up until June then was either not in the squad or on the bench for the rest of the season. Was winning plaudits so seems odd he was dropped. Hopefully more minutes this season for him. He did look bright from what I saw of him 🤷♂️ Link to post Share on other sites

Big_M 1,881 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 he only got four starts and two were in heavy losses and two others were draws..and arena gave more time to some like zahibo and then bou arrived in july..even this year gonna be very tough to get time..they brought two left backs so dejuan jones could go back to wing Link to post Share on other sites

Floortom 1,291 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Unbelievable miss there - hopefully he can put it behind quickly. Link to post Share on other sites

According to the much hyped MLS Audi Index, he earned 112 points for that miss. The guy in charge of marking him should have lost -112 points. Who was that? Link to post Share on other sites

Corazon 1,529 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Has looked good in my opinion. Shaf has only had a half but Tajon has looked better. He's gonna have to start scoring some goals though. Mikmacdo, Shway, Trois Reds and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Shway 3,015 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I was impressed with his entire game. He’s fast, strong and really great in 1v1. I noticed how he affected Laryeas ability to get forward because he has to be aware of him. He gets more opportunities with NER and Millars position with the men’s team seems a lot less assured. Im actually excited to see what our U23 team will look like. So many options - which is weird to say. johnyb, Obinna and Corazon 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Obinna 8,315 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I agree that Tajon was good. Looking forward to him getting into our Olympic team, maybe even the senior team if he keeps doing well... Ivan, johnyb and Bison44 3 Link to post Share on other sites

If he plays like he did today and starts putting in some goals and assists then I can't imagine him not being in our player pool selection. It was his first start in a very long time and since Arenas took over the Revolution, his minutes have been limited. Here's hoping that changes.

El Diego 789 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I thought he was merely ok. Not very nuanced in the final third. The most encouraging bit of play was his scoop finish after he was flagged for offside. Colliedor 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Corazon 1,529 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) Sometimes you take ratings with a grain of salt but FotMob rated Laryea player of the game. Coincidently Fotmob also rated Tajon the lowest starter on Revolution. Still rated equal to Bradley and higher than DeLeon, Pozuelo, Akinola, Shaffelburg & Endoh. Okello was rated as the highest subsitutute and above almost every starting midfielder/attacker for TFC. Edited July 21, 2020 by Corazon johnyb 1 Link to post Share on other sites

toontownman 2,861 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 They obviously rate him and have stuck by him, mainly off the bench but getting lots of minutes. Certainly seems to have something about him. Link to post Share on other sites
Floortom 1,291 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Arena definitely sees something in him. NE supporters seem to be not as optimistic about him based on scanning their forums. Link to post Share on other sites
