I would have Hasal and Pantemis ahead of him. I was just going to say Leutwiler hasn't played a single minute in the Championship this season. He generally hasn't played much the last few seasons. I'd take Pantemis as well if Borjan is missing since he's the "veteran" among the kids if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi riva Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 My top three are Borjan, ST Clair. Crepeau. on the rise I say Hasal, and Pantemis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 outside of Borjan our other keepers are light on experience. Hope Crepeau & DSC have strong seasons and play a lot of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm very much on board with Borjan getting overtaken sooner or later. He always has one big mistake in him. All we need is for that to hit us hard against a bigger team. Love his service to Canada but his years beating up on smaller Serbian teams and then getting rolled over in the Champion's League doesn't fill me with confidence that he's in a challenging environment, not like it did 2-3 years ago.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think he is still without a club. I am not so sure that just because a keeper is playing in the CPL, they deserve to be placed above a keeper playing abroad. Keepers who are playing abroad (and not in the CPL) generally have close to year round training, and more matches than keepers in the CPL. Hopefully that changes in the future with regards to the CPL. fair enough about Thomas. I just imagine that in dire needs he’d get the call over a young keeper who’s never been in a senior camp. Although I don’t truly think we’ll ever be that desperate to call so far down the depth chart. The CPL sentiment was more so comparing to the Serie D keepers who have never been to a camp being listed above guys like Carducci, Irving, Oxner. I’m not suggesting they deserve a call up just because of their allegiance to a CPL club, but this forum has an affinity with players in Europe at levels of play they’ve never even watched. I’m pretty confident there are several CPL guys higher in Herdman’s list than an Aldo Commisso.

Stryker911 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Wonder if Leutweiler will get a chance? Periera the normal backup played for the second time this season, a 7-0 loss. His first game was a 4-3 loss. Pretty bad numbers. Leutweiler was on the bench today. I can't find any information where the regular starter was. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Since we have depth chart threads for other positions going strong, might as well bump this one On 2/26/2023 at 2:16 AM, Olympique_de_Marseille said: Who is our 3rd choice keeper for the March window?

Leutwiler has fallen off the face of the earth. Breza is in Serie C - Borjan - St. Clair Do we have a clear third choice? All our CanPL guys are somewhat out of season, although match fitness is different for keepers. dyslexic nam, Jack1997 and Shway 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All our CanPL guys are somewhat out of season, although match fitness is different for keepers. My guess is Hasal gets called as the #3 for now. Its pretty rare for a #3 to be used by a National Team. Sirois would have an outside shot if he does decently in the next few weeks though.

Jack1997 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 3rd GK has to be Sirois for March, I think Hasal is a better GK than Sirois but you have to call a guy who’s actually playing. Honestly I think Hasal is quite good and to be solid MLS starter at 22 is really impressive and think he’ll have a strong and long career playing in the MLS, Im not a Vancouver fan but honestly thought them going for a new keeper was stupid and kinda disrespectful to Hasal but hopefully he can earn the spot back. I think if somehow Sirois and Hasal can’t go I would go to Goodman, Odunze or McGill. IMO this is the current depth chart for GKs (excluding injuries) 1.Borjan 2.St.Clair 3.Crepau 4.Pantemis 5.Sirois 6.Hasal 7.Breza 8.Goodman 9.Mcgill 10.Odunze narduch, Corazon, saladroit and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takaoka will be given a lot of slack and will really have to sh*t the bed before losing his regular starting spot. There was a report via local media that Hasal might get a loan out and I would support that. Regardless of the prospects or promise of more fixtures via CCL and Leagues Cup, I don't think he can get enough starts to really hone his game. He is certainly still a ways from being the finished article but he needs those regular starts to show what if he can grow. footballfreak, An Observer, Ivan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i misremembering that? The reason I raise it is if that was the case, that perhaps last year's figures are more related to a loss of confidence which could easily rebound if loaned out and given regular playing time.

sebdeserio Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Not looking good if we can't get any of the dual nats and St. Clair doesn't take a step to the next level.

I would go withe Goodman as the 3rd choice. I am not sure who Crystal Palace rated higher between him and their other young keeper Whitworth. Whitworth is also 19 and has frequently been the backup in the Premier League, while Goodman is the same age and starting for the u21s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm seeing is how thin we actually are in terms of depth. Lastly, Carducci should be on that list having been called up before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
