Obinna Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hasal wasn't at his best last night and he is still the least of Vancouver's problems. At least there is some consistency at the back with Rose and Cornelius establishing themselves as the first choice CB pairing. Baldisimo should be the 6 going forward if he stays healthy. Cavallini despite his struggles will continue to lead the line. The team has a capable spine, now they need to enhance the other parts of the team.

Trois Reds Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hasal looked a lot more confident. On Saturday he looked extremely nervous on the ball for some reason. He had a much better game last night. h coach and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedPilko Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Should be more hype for Hasal imo. Small sample size, but statistically, he's been a league-average to good GK in the MLS at age 20-21, on the Vancovuer Whitecaps. Nothing I've seen of him suggests he doesn't belong.

He's clearly an excellent shot stopper, but he can still work on better rebound control and distribution. His collection of high ball into the box has come on massively in just a few games. The kid's definitely a player, though. nolando and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him pack on 10-15 lbs of muscle over the next year and work on sharpening his elbows and knees. Akinola and Deleon were taking cheap shots at him in the most-recent game against TFC.

Old school...I remember reading (I think) Shep Messings book when I was a kid and it talked about putting an elbow in a strikers ear or a knee in the back to get some room in the box.

The great thing is that the skills he needs to work on are probably the most coachable thing and the things he seems naturally good at are what you want as instinctual skills. With good coaching and hard work, he could easily improve in his weaker areas. Acid-Tone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hasal out indefinitely. Bummer. He was the one bright spot in an otherwise crappy season for the Caps. https://mobile.twitter.com/WhitecapsFC/status/1310628706499481601 Trois Reds and toontownman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Didn’t see when or how the tibia happened, but the concussion was obvious. Beckerman’s an asshole.

Dominic94 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Glasscity dropped a bomb on Twitter: So, Hasal will battle Crepeau to the death for the #1 position, with the loser leaving the club. Furthermore Glass added that a Can PL loan is out of the question, if it is him who leaves it’s for Europe. I would think WFC would be best to loan Crepeau indefinitely if he loses so that he can return to the club when Hasal is sold to Europe. However the club does have Isaac Boehemer who’s a prospect and will likely get a loan or time with the U-23 squad. My guess is Belgium for the club, a couple of Canadians have done well there.

PiedPilko Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 That's great to hear. Hasal is younger than DSC, and before his injury, he was performing really well. I mentioned this earlier, but everything I've seen of him + his stats had him as a average - pretty good GK in the MLS at age 20. He still needs work on rebound control, but his reflexes are crazy. If he's already performing in the MLS where he's facing more shots than anyone (i.e. the Whitecap gambit), a CPL loan seemed kinda unfair. Hope he keeps it up.

Watchmen Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 First start of the season for the Whitecaps. Gives up a goal 45 seconds in after getting caught out a bit. sebdeserio, dyslexic nam, johnyb and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit defending in front of him and he's made some nice saves, but might not get the next start either. Why would you take him out after one game when he hasn't played since September??? What good would it do to switch to a 3rd string GK when he's in the same, if not worse, situation where they haven't any real reps in ages? Could have been 6-0 or 7-0 the way Caps defend. They need to give the kid a run of 6-7 games here, there's value in it for the club to do so. NVsoccer, gator and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him a lot, but the results don't lie. Sure, maybe he's never had a proper pool of MLS-calibre players from which to choose, but I cannot imagine the GM taking the fall for MDS here. Tough year to be a fan of Canadian MLS teams. Sheeeeesh! johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
