sebdeserio Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Seems to really have raised his level to the championships part of it must be him improving but also shows how important it is to have a manager that appreciates and has a plan for you.

He's also probably responsible for 90% of their step-overs. It was a nice finish. He was the third man on a counter. He collected a rebound off the post from his teammate and calmly put it in. youllneverwalkalone, Dominic94, PegCityCam and 9 others 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said hopefully all those experiences have added to his game. The upcoming friendlies see like such a great chance to see Corbeanu, Mitrovic and Koleosho amongst others. It would go against the grain for Herdman though to call too many. He likes to stick to his guys. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) You can say that his goal here was scoring on an empty net or whatever, and there has been criticism of the he's scored this season because they come as a result of him being in the right place right time, but the reality is that he now leads Blackpool in goals (3 vs. 2 others with 2 but wtv), and at a certain point, "lucky" goals stop being lucky if you keep scoring them. I've watched a bit of Blackpool this year, and first off, they're not a good team at all, but he's always in position to make something exciting happen and he's one of the best players on a Championship side at age 20. Another way to look at it is that between his goal today and his last minute equalizer a few games back, without his finishing, that's 4 less points for Blackpool, the difference between 11th and 18th place. Twitter hyperbole and exaggeration will always happen with our players, but hard to argue he isn't one of our most inform players right now.

But club form alone isn’t going to get him in the World Cup squad ... he needs to impress this window. I think Theo is a top 3 Canadian in terms of potential. Reality in 2022 is that even Liam Millar can’t find time in this squad. Theo, sadly, doesn’t fit the current system and it’s the reason he hasn’t been called in over a year.

I think Liam is still in discussion but his lack of end product and Basel's poor form in the league aren't helping his case. Jack1997 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin Radd Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 He only had a split second to react to the ball coming back off the post yet he was able to control it with a single touch to setup the finish. It was hardly an easy empty netter. A simple strike setup by the combination of strong hustle, great reflexes, soft feet and a calm mind.

Kadenge Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Up until today our strikers were not scoring other than David. Larin still looking for his 1st, Tajon is injured, Liam is not scoring, Jnr playing as a WB. No manager is going to say no to a forward who is scoring in a decent league and Theo is red hot. I'm sure he gets called this month. 2 or 3 spots are going to young players, which they need to blood for 2026 even if they don't see the field. narduch, DeRo_Is_King and MtlMario 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 How many matchdays until the international window starts? 4? Unless he gets dropped from Blackpool entirely from now til then, he's probably done enough to warrant a look against Qatar and Uruguay. I would be very surprised not to see him come in. Would be a great storyline for Theo to get a recall, just in time to welcome long-time friend Stefan Mitrovic into the fold Bertuzzi44, Jack1997, InglewoodJack and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
