Craig11rm Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 He looked confident out there with good hands and did a good job commanding his box for a young keeper. The big save near the end of the game had impressive reactions, lots of power on the shot up high from a close range and with a lot of players blocking his view. I noticed his distribution seemed pretty good or he was at least getting a lot of distance on his kicks. Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasal struggled to get his goal kicks to half and was really shaky on distribution, so it is nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've got Tino on the mind Lets think: Borjan, Lars, Forrest, Onstad have shared most of the duties, no shorties there I don't think. Or maybe I'm wrong. longlugan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez but so did Blanco, who spent the entire game from the opening minutes trying to punk the ref. And ended up carded for complaining about a non-foul late. Then got his assistant coach and the Timbers coach jumping in accusing the ref of who knows what, confronting the same guy that saved their asses by calling a penalty in their favour. Saw Santini told one of the Timbers assistants to FO at the end as well. They are nuts if they think they were hard done by, the entire match many players were diving, bitching to the ref, whining about big nothings. And were mostly outplayed as well.

masster Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 This guy needs to be playing more. What is he achieving by being the third keeper with the Caps? Send him out on loan. saladroit and nolando 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the backup FWIW. Joe Bendik is basically in that 3rd string keeper / old guy that keeps the lockeroom close together type of role. saladroit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of Crepeau when he was with Montreal. He does a great job of commanding his box and catching crosses. He made a solid save on a header in the game but I wonder if he could have done a little better on Calvary’s goal at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I'd like to see Boehmer play in Colorado next week, the mid-week game. Would be a good rotation between him and Takaoka over the next two weeks, since I think we can safely assume he'll start in the return leg. masster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the old guy be the one sitting on the bench. Young keepers need to play. Pantemis and Sirios both showed that loans to the CPL have value. And the way Viscosi has looked...Valour could use another keeper!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always believed that your number 1-in-waiting should be playing as a regular starter at level below instead of just being a back up. Interesting to note that the club has moved away from having two back up keepers on the bench during MLS play. I never was a fan of that. Though I should post in his own thread but since it is relevant to here: where is Hasal playing right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig11rm Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I haven’t been impressed with Takaoka at all. He’s been such a down grade from Crepeau and not much better than Hasal IMO. I have actually liked the games I’ve watched with Boemher, he kind of reminds me of a young Crepeau that was stuck on the bench at Montreal. narduch and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sartini was terrified to play him near this time last year even when Takaoka had a significant drop in performance but the team's strong road showing against albeit sh*tty opponents. If you think Boehmer's the heir apparent, give him the real chance to compete if the incumbent is off form or else loan him out where he can be a number one (CPL) and have Bendik and Anchor caddy for Takaoka. Last year's Leagues Cup was novel, this year's isn't, so you get another chance to squad rotate and see what some youngies can do. Ditto Halbouni.

He's a significant upgrade on Hasal, but the packed schedule has resulted in Vanni over playing him because Vanni never trusts half his squad. I'd like to see more of Boehmer, and this last stretch of games would have been perfect for it. But again, Vanni holds this team back. I can almost 100% guarantee Boehmer gets the game Leagues Cup game down in LA, but I'm guessing that Vanni will give Takaoka the start at home against Tijuana and any subsequent knockout round games.

I don't care how he compares specifically to Pacific's keeper because the relevant point is that if the Caps see him as a future starter, find a way to give him the chance somewhere (CPL/USL/overseas) to compete and hopefully become a number one.

Watchmen Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Boehmer kept the Whitecaps in the game tonight, even as the team in front of him unraveled. So miscues he probably still needs to clean up, but he's also the reason they got the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
