DeRo_Is_King Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I should add that the 3-0 win without Corbeanu is equally surprising for Grasshopper -- and unfortunate since it was at Breza's expense. I hope Corbeanu starts next game. This is such a good result, I could see the same 11 starting next time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footyeh Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I think as a top level pro you have to be good at one thing more so than others. For Theo, that can be assists. Even if he doesn't score a single goal, a team will value a player who can give them 10+ assists a season and he will be paid handsomely for it. narduch and Dominic94 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can do both, and there are pros out there like that as well. That said, if he wants to focus on playmaking and continues to generate assists, that will hold value. I agree.

Player of the team on a team that didn't win during the month. 4 losses and one tie. Outscored 9-3. Three goals in five winless games. And they score 3 yesterday in one game with him on the bench. This looks alot like the MK Dons loan. I am pretty sure, he won the player of month and got moved to the bench in the next couple games. But that was a award voted by the fans. He is always loved by the fans because of his attacking style. I don't know who selects the player of the month for Grasshoppers. He always starts on fire after a loan and then cools down. My guess is it because other teams properly scout his very straight forward style of play. Then they do a better job of defending him Yesterday could of just been a rest game but it would be weird with the international break coming.

DeRo_Is_King Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Certainly, his team winning 3-0 while he sat on the bench isn't good, but getting Player-of-the-Month honours is still a great achievement. I honestly don't know what else he can do at this point. It's true his last start didn't go well, but he has been a shining star on a very poor side otherwise. Everyone has a bad game from time to time. Look at our strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has a bad game from time to time. Look at our strikers. I've watched every game hes played an he has been one of their most effect attacking players a threat every time hes on the ball, he like Liam said abouty the Swiss league that he needs better players around him on a better team most of those go in. Grass hoppers as a team are poor he has been one shining light.. I don't think his form has dropped I think because of the poor start the manager has had to change things and try to be more secure and unfortunately Theo has bene a product of that, lets hope he can work his way back in to the starting line up maybe the non call up is blessing to work hard with the club team.. I know Liam played in Ipswich saturday drove back 5.5 hrs got home at midnight and fle wout to japan at 730 am this morning( a 16hr journey..) Best of Luck to hi the swiis super league is a great spingboard maccaliam, lowlander, h coach and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeRo_Is_King Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 He went 60 in a Grasshopper club friendly vs FC Schaffhausen yesterday. He assisted on the opening goal of a 4-0 win. The assist and full match can be viewed at the link below. His assist starts at 1:20:46: toontownman, johnyb and Bertuzzi44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueseeka Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Two games in a row. Just continues his regular transfer routine. 1. Transfer to new team in new league 2. Starts and plays well. Wins fan voted player of the month. 3. Opponents figure out how to defend his attacking style 4. Team starts losing and he gets moved to bench 5. Canadians confused why the manager hates him He has so much talent. He definitely did a better job of playing within a team this year. Way more passing than past years. He was also taking freekicks and corners. Hopefully he justs accepts a bench role and thrives from there. I hated last year when Basel moved Liam to the bench but he just grew from there. Looks like a new player this year Jack1997, johnyb and costarg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated last year when Basel moved Liam to the bench but he just grew from there. Looks like a new player this year To be fair, they played a friendly midweek and he produced a quality assist on the opening goal. Also, Grasshopper have been terrible all season. Sure, they won 3-0 after putting Corbeanu on the bench for one game. But that's just one game. I'm not disputing that there appears to be a trend. But Corbeanu has been a huge part of the team's attack as a playmaker. I'm cautiously optimistic that he'll bounce back. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else can we explain a kid with the physical attributes as well as obvious talent just can't keep a spot at a level he's obviously good enough for. How many teams and loans now? And not one was interested in keeping him or even playing him after the first few games? Just weird, or just so obvious that we're not seeing it.

blueseeka Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I don't see it as a demotion. There are players that thrive coming on in the final 20 minutes. He is a high energy, pure attacking forward. He should do great against a tired defense. He is so young, lots of time to become an important piece for the CMNT.

DeRo_Is_King Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Just found this interview Grasshopper did with him last week. He talks about the national team from about 6:30 to 8:15. He is very explicit in his desire to play for Canada and in his desire to get selected by playing well at club level: PegCityCam, costarg, Corazon and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
