Obinna Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Is it possible Theo joins the group after his match and/or is one of the standby players? He’s useful, but not a key player and his development is important, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him named unless he says he won’t be joining Canada in the linked presser (haven’t watched it).

For me there's a list of 10. Meaning there's 13+ guys who I would consider rotational - he's in that list. EDIT: And by key I mean actual "key contributions" to the team. Rotational meaning they will come into the squad and do a/their job. Edited January 24, 2022 by Shway Approve My Account Pls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning there's 13+ guys who I would consider rotational - he's in that list. I want Theo in the roster, I think he can make a difference from the bench. He'll come on with no fear against the Hondurans and start taking players on and trying shit, which I love about him. When I say key I mean these players: Eustaquio (ability), Davies (ability), David (ability), Larin (form), Atiba (experience), Johnston (flexibility) and Vitoria (lack of depth). You can argue that losing the other players is less worrisome, at least for me that's how I see it. That doesn't mean some of them are not really important, like Buchanan for instance, but if we don't have Tajon for whatever reason we have players who can replace what he brings, for the most part. Nobody can replace Atiba's experience, Johnston's positional flexibility, Davies' ability, etc. If we have no Buchanan we have Millar, if we have no Miller we have Kennedy or Cornelius, if we have no Laryea we have Brault-Guillard, if we have no Adekugbe we have Gutierrez, if we have no Borjan we have Crepeau, etc. Some of the drop offs are bigger than others, but overall there isn't much of a drop off for any of these. So while I want Theo in the squad, if the choice is made to let him stay and develop I kind of get it. My real point however was that maybe he stays to play the MK Dons match and joins the team a few days later? That way you get him an extra club game (very important for him) without suffering much from the absence of a "key" player, if you know what I mean. I am not advocating that or anything, just wondering if that's plausible. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag futbol Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Let’s keep in mind he just walked in the door at a new club on loan. Certainly you wouldn’t want to upset the balance there but recognize these are critical games for Canada. Correct me if I’m wrong but league one does not break for the international windows. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkguy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Not on the roster. Very mind blowing considering how in-form he's been of late.

I'm just shocked considering he's been the player on the pitch in the last few months every night while we have injury issues, etc. But I'm not going to doubt Herdman at this point, so hopefully we can pick up the points. On that note, he's got no chance at this World Cup though, maybe the next one. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't disagree more. He can be called into March, he can be starting for a championship club in August and be lighting it up solidifying a spot in Qatar. I think you're too quick to make definitive statement when so much can change. johnyb, Xavier., Kadenge and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got David, Ugbo, and Larin up front. And I'd hope Larin and David get a bunch of minutes in the two away games that we really could use at least 4 points in. Cav hasn't played meaningful minutes in 3 months. But again, I'm not going to doubt Herdman. Hasn't done us wrong yet!

toontownman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 So much can change from now until November. Corbeanu could be starting for Wolves in September and breaking out in the PL. He could also be still at MK Dons. Who knows. Could be player injuries could be players we aren't even aware of emerging. There are no closed doors (IF we qualify for Qatar) right now. king1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
