VinceA Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Watching tons of CPL this season and I'd rate Doner as the best CPL option. Grant has been great but he doesn't play regularly for Forge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordova didn't see the field last camp (against Cuba) and Brault-guillard was just awarded best young Canadian of the Voyageurs Cup, ironically handed to him by Herdman himself...

Obinna Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 It's fun to make a depth chart, but at the moment I get the sense Herdman would shoehorn Will Johnson or Liam Millar into RB before he called up one of the CPL guys for the role. Obviously that may change, but that's how I currently see it. A_Gagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soccer.shocker Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I think Cordova gets called again for USA ahead of ZBG and definitely ahead of Godinho. If he does, he’s the current #2 RB. Obinna and hamiltonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldnt surprise me if he called Lareya and had had one of his shorhorned midfielder replacements as back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think JH is going to make the same mistake he made with the GC squad... based on his statements pre Cuba game plus his squad selection for those 2 games....

Agreed for sure. Godhino looked great going forward vs Martinique and Cuba, but also got exposed defensively quite a bit in those games... Martinique and Cuba's finishing was simply horrendous in those games, should have definitely scored vs us. Haiti clearly scouted we lacked the quality in our fullbacks with the amount of diagonal balls they played to challenge our FBs. Hope ZBG gets another crack at some point. He was tossed out as a RM/RWB in a 3-4-3 / 5-3-2 vs the best team in the region. Did not have a great game but honestly, not sure anyone else would have done better. Yes he was partially responsible for Mexico first goal but it did take a deflection of Hutch's head(miss clearance) when we were down to 10 men with Cornelius dealing with a bloody nose. I've always wonder how ZBG would have done vs Martinique and Cuba, can't see it being a disaster. As of right now, Laryea looks great and is likely our current #1, but he's only faced Cuba. USA will be a big test for him. InBorjanWeTrust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Aside from Pulisic, the American wingers will be MLS level. Morris, Arriola, Baird, such players he faces every week with Toronto. They will challenge him, but I think he's shown enough that he will handle it. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the United States national team have better guys than those? Haven't a few of those German born Americans panned out yet or are they struggling at their respective Bundesliga youth sides?

Pulisic and Boyd (Besiktas) started on the wings in their last friendly against Mex. Neither of them is getting any time with their club. Morris and Boyd started on the wings against Uruguay. Morris and Arriola started on the wings in the Gold Cup final. Pulisic played behind them. 19 y/o Sargent is starting to get minutes at striker with Bremen. I imagine he will play up top and not Altidore given this is basically a friendly for the US. Tim Weah I believe is still injured and has not been seeing minutes with Lille.

Yeah, if there's a weakpoint I don't think it's going to be down that right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cross&Header Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) The full-back dilemma is quite interesting and more so in Canada for some reason, perhaps the style of play. It’s a position that is seen as a ‘filler’ position. Edited October 13, 2019 by Cross&Header Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Laryea starts on his home field. A_Gagne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 3 year bump. But this looks completely different. For me it looks like this. 1. Laryea 1b. Johnston 2. ZBG 3. Farsi 4. Godinho 5. Chung Corazon and Jack1997 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably depends what formation we play I am still wondering why the Caps decided to part ways with Godinho. Though I don't think he sh*ts Snickers bars and pisses apple juice, he might have been a better contender to start in his natural RB spot. He could at least have been a swingman for either fullback side I know he would have been due for a raise but it wouldn't have been a (salary) cap killer. Schuster's apready badly overpaid for extensions on Dajome, White, and (probably) Martins.: not a good look for the CEO and Sporting Director here. Brown is a feast-or-famine guy while Raposo is dropping back from winger to wingback and now to learning another new position at RB (though I believe he is still on a GA deal, which is a bonus). As for Zator, he just needs keep getting regular starts and doing the job at club level. Maybe we get to see him in March?
