Aird25 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 7 hours ago, Unnamed Trialist said: If Pacific FC goes with 19 players, three keepers, that gives them 5 field player subs. Are we playing the new rules with 5 subs in this tournament? If so, that is very thin, they really should have a bit more coverage in that roster. One injury or red leaves them without enough players to do a full set of changes. It would be really strange if Gardner was drafted two straight seasons and never played a game. That can’t happen often. I imagined both would be with the team but the club has been pretty quiet about that afaik. Par for the course, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_twelve Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 4 games in. What do you think of 2020 Pacific? Is Kah an upgrade on Silberbauer? How are the Fury acquisitions doing? Is Campbell gonna start scoring? ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the Fury acquisitions doing? Is Campbell gonna start scoring? I can't figure out why Campbell isn't starting. He's gotten next to no service, but he's nearly scored twice off of cheeky little chips, one of which led to a goal. I also think he holds the ball up better and brings his wingers into the game more. We're still losing points through boneheaded mistakes, but I think the team has looked improved overall. Rarely have we looked like the weaker side in a game. Dixon, Bustos, and TMG were all good pickups, but Chung is my player of the season so far. He rarely made mistakes last year, but I think he's carried the play more this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Canuck Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Ideally I wouldn't mind the Final 4 being Cavalry, Forge, Pacific, and the Wanderers though York and Valour may have something to say about it. They will certainly feel that 6 points is possible against Edmonton and Ottawa. Aird25 and ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aird25 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I’d be thrilled with that final 4 but it’s by no means certain. A win against Cavalry wouldn’t shock me, but nether would a loss against either of the other two. Pacific just haven’t yet learned to consistently get points from games where they deserve them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are doing really well and Kah is definitely an upgrade. The core of the team is the same as last year but beating Calgary yesterday showed how a coach (working with good transfers) can make a big difference.

Ansem Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 This team is making a believer out of me. Imagine if Campbell was like last year...still time for him. Exciting to watch them play ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SthMelbRed Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Pacific right now are a legitimate shot for top spot after the first round robin. That's a brilliant turn around. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I like the versatility of the squad this year, it may not be perfect but I can see what the plan is. I didn’t get a sense of where the team was going last year. If Pacific FC stay with the current coaching staff, I see Pacific doing well in the future....or now 😍 ted and toontownman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Marco Bustos, Hanson Boakai, Victor Blasco, Alphonso Davies and Noah Verhoeven compared in the same paragraph. Just goes to show how difficult it can be to predict the trajectory of young players (Granted, some of them are far enough apart in age). yothat2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can improve other aspects his game he'll be an excellent player. Far too many mistakes last season though, and it's telling he hasn't feature much under Kah yothat2 and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Had a quick look on OneSoccer's youtube. They normally post there. Probably unsurprisingly it is not up. They probably won't re-show as he criticized the refs and the league. I would try the re-watch it should be on there after the game or in coast to coast. Unless they purposely edited it out. Basically he said if the league wants to be seen as a credible league they need to fix the refereeing situation, it has to be far better, they have to get better referee's simple as that. Tbh I don't think they have been horrible but what do I know lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wouldn't shock me if OneSoccer doesn't want to highlight that criticism. As a Pacific fan I've felt hard done by in this tournament when it comes to officiating, and it extends beyond the penalties. It just seems like every 50-50 went against us and there was no consistency. I'm also sick and tired of how bias everyone at OneSoccer seems. I really hope they get some western Canadian folks involved, but perhaps that's my own bias toontownman and ted 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
