grigorio Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 So... Looks like we may have to play most of this window the same way we had to play the last game against Mexico in the GC.

shorty Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I don’t think Shway said David isn’t a capable player — just that he isn’t the guy to lead the line. The comment was about where best to deploy David, not about his bona fides. That’s how I read it anyway. grigorio, dyslexic nam and king1010 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiecanuck Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I noticed Tomori got the call for England. I guess that rather unrealistic dream has finally come to an end. Jedi Ram, GasPed, narduch and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xabuep2 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) List of players called up by Panama Only 7 of the 27 selected players play in the local league. And although the rest do not play for big clubs, the team have integrated and cohesive well . It has a lot to do with Christiansen's work. Panama like Canada has a difficult schedule.

SpursFlu Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think optimistic is 6 or 7 points Meh is 4 pts Anything else, disappointing When Panama thrashes Jamaica at home, the least we can expect is a win MtlMario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from their last window, Panama has been pretty poor in 2021. I'd be disappointed if we don't dispatch them easily at BMO. As an aside how the hell are they calling up a guy from the Japanese 3rd division? That has to be borderline amateur. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Going into the oct many people had Panama as last place. Looking at the rosters and the first three games I’d say Panama are better than El Salvador. Then again how good are the Venezuelan, Bolivian, Peruvian and Panamanian leagues where much of Panama’s roster is from? johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 So with Cav and Larin both probably out (and Ayo still on long term injury leave), what are our options at striker for this window? David is obviously one of the first names on the team sheet, but after that we are definitely thin. Hoilett being played up top is an option - especially if Herdman chooses not to take a bigger squad this time. Maybe others can be played out of position there as well - Buchanan, Millar (if he gets the call), etc. It seems crazy to hand someone their first cap in a crucial WCQ game, but Ennin is playing regularly in the Russian Premier League so has to at least be in contention for a call up. Hard to argue against the idea that a guy playing at that level could probably do a decent job against Panama or Jamaica. Tesho earned a GC call up and must be ahead of some of the other contenders in our 2nd tier. As a big, strong and experienced veteran, he is a pretty safe option to have around. Then there is a guy like Jebbison We still have no idea if he would even accept a call, but picking up the phone and inviting him might be an option. I am sure I will miss some, but after that the pool gets pretty thin. I can’t see us going further down the depth chart to guys like Ongaro, Bair, or even Ricketts (he’s gotta done given his lack of playing time, right?). footballfreak, lamptern, johnyb and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly after watching the last 2 Forge games one in person, and one on TV, Independiente weren't great at all. Then again two years ago they beat TFC handily. gator and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's safe to say one of Buchanan and/or Davies could play there. With our depth on the flanks I'd be comfortable with Adekgube coming in to start at LWB/LB. I don't see us reaching down the depth chart for a CF. Sal333 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Akindele coming in but I don't see us going crazy looking for a CF way down the depth chart (i.e. Bair). I could see Millar and Akindele coming in for Larin and Cavallini. Let's hope there's no need though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
