Corazon Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I only watched the 1st half and Charlotte was pretty terrible but I thought he had some poor plays. Aside from his assist which I don’t think was intentional. He chopped down Vargas pretty high by the knee but his trailing leg got the ball. I think it was on the following corner kick that Waterman had a terrible header clearance to Charlotte attacker in the centre of the goal who whiffed on his shot. Charlotte couldn’t really get anything going that first half so no one on Montreal looked poor but I can see how he’s not getting called right now with his consistent brain fart plays every game. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to think that despite their club struggles this season, defenders like Kennedy, Vitoria and Kamal were selected for their extensive history with the men's programs over the past several years.

Obinna Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 One thing I took away from this summer is that our average guys look good surrounded with our top guys, but look average without them. Waterman is very much average overall, great on the ball but bad when it comes to brain farts. Miller is good on the ball for MLS, but can struggle internationally against the best teams. I feel like Waterman won't have this problem. Since Miller makes brain farts himself, would Waterman be the better choice? I would like to see what he could do in a friendly against a top 20 team.

No idea how accurate it is: If Waterman makes this move he would become our CB playing at the highest level, I guess maybe because he’s a CB and only 27 he still has potential but I just don’t see it when I watch him. I don’t think this is the right thing for Piette, he should stay in MLS. I just wish it was Choinere instead nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Crazy Waterman rumour. Anyways, it won’t matter much since Montreal is also thought to be close to acquiring Mbappe Borjans Sweatpants, dyslexic nam, narduch and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 A much overdue bump all the way from page 12 for Joel. Maybe a good sign of his dependability and maybe an unsung hero that we haven't posted about him in 8 months! Nice short set of quote here from his manager, choiniere and himself. He has for sure come a long way and is quietly still a potential big piece in our backline. https://canadiansoccerdaily.com/2024/03/15/laurent-courtois-mathieu-choiniere-hail-cf-montreals-canadian-defensive-general-joel-waterman/ Obinna, narduch, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfreak Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Idiotic tackle from Waterman. I don’t know what the solution is in the centre of defence, but he ain’t it. edit: Ref had it right the first time. He is insanely lucky to still be on the field.

I am comfortable with Waterman as a starter in MTL and as a frequently used sub for Canada but the fact he is currently in the picture for starter for Canada is a good illustration of our problems when it comes to CB... footballfreak, PegCityCam, Corazon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasPed Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It wasn't a red, but it could've been - when you're that far behind a guy and you just go sliding, kicking out at his heels, who knows what result you'll get? Add to it the fact that he was one of four defenders in the frame, and it really was unnecessary... PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has one of the reasons MTL survived the first half. Fresh Prince of MTL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree somewhat with that too. Positionally he was good - he played Benteke generally well and got his foot/head/body to a lot of dangerous balls. He was not MTL's problem tonight.

PiedPilko Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Didn't watch tonight, but I think his worst qualities are magnified in the middle of a back 3. Plus it negates his passing range up the flank. footballfreak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
