World Cup Qualifying Third Round Match Day 1: Canada Honduras - Thursday, September 2nd, 2021 - BMO Field, Toronto.

[Lansdude]

Hutchinson looks a little slow. Need some more precision through the middle. Johnston very sharp and composed. Buchanan and especially Davies looking hungry.

[SthMelbRed]

I've only just got a stream up on the second laptop while I'm working. The past 4-5 minutes have looked like it's all Honduras. 😞 

[dyslexic nam]

Some shitty giveaways.  Gotta tidy that up.  

[ag futbol]

This formation makes no sense. Laryea’s career was headed nowhere as a central midfielder, why would we put him back there ?

what stream?  I couldn't find one that worked from the list

[grigorio]

Tiba keepin up with things?

[dyslexic nam]

Miller… come on.  

[scullion44]

Get Kennedy on the pitch enough Is enough

[Lansdude]

We could use another real midfielder.

[baulderdash77]

I don’t like the 4-4-2 formation.  Being down a central midfielder isn’t doing us any favours.  Canada plays best with 3 CM when they can control the middle.  It’s just a bit disjointed.

[Dominic94]

We’re very nervous, we could be better if we calmed down.

[Strait Red]

Miller is giving me heart palpitations. 

[jonovision]

Laryea should come off at half for Osorio.

[toontownman]

Sloppy shop so far. Honduras have looked good. We haven't. Atiba has been awful. 

Ref doesn't fancy giving fouls unless he absolutely has to.

I don’t know if it’s the formation as much as the dirt stupid combination of players. 
 

did nobody on the coaching staff ask the question who was going to break the lines? We’re donut shaped 

[gwsmith63]

Nothing working in the middle of the attacking third at all.  No penetration whatsoever. 

[Unnamed Trialist]

I wrote this during the GC, and before: Kamal Miller does not have the level to play for Canada. He lacks technique, he can't swivel, he's below the level of the rest of the team. 

I don't care if people think what they see in MLS is different, he's a liability and should not be in our starting XI, ever.

We've been slightly outplayed at m. 30. We are missing the mids making the plays, too many long balls from the back going over the heads of the guys who know how to playmake. Should never happen. 

Is David playing?

I dont like the Davies switch. Nobody connecting our mids with forwards 

[Stryker911]

There has been nothing down the right side. Regardless of who is playing on that side.

[toontownman]

I blame the drone personally. Bad intelligence. 

[costarg]

Johnston miles ahead of everyone already for man of the match, but a few others don't seem to have got their cleats on yet.

We need another CM on the field. 

[baulderdash77]

I really like both Laryea and Buchanan but one of them has to come out for a central midfielder.  We need the stability in the middle to connect our lines and hold possession.

[canuckgbp]

In attack Laryea is in the middle... not working. 

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Need to calm down and do the basic things right.  String together some passes.  We have the quality, it will come.
