costarg Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 16 hours ago, An Observer said: On II, you can argue that the 4 TFC provide is the case as well. Osorio and Laryea were definitely developed substantially by TFC and even Kaye and Henry while recent arrivals, both started with TFC youth and were developed there for many years before going pro. Indeed, Henry also had a lot of game time with TFC at the beginning of his career. For Montreal, Miller falls into a very similar category as Laryea (both discarded by Orlando); Piette spent more of his youth development abroad then Osorio. Johnston was developed elsewhere. Waterman in the CPL although Montreal did give him his break a couple of years back. And Kone just signed last year so didn’t even play youth for Montreal and likely will not play more than a year for them professionally (Henry played much more for TFC at the beginning of his career). Crepeau really is similar to Kaye in that he couldn’t cut it professionally with his youth club and had to go elsewhere to make it. Although Crepeau hasn’t come back to his original club like Kaye. don’t get me wrong, I love what Montreal has done with Canadian talent recently and the fact 6 were starting a playoff match for them yesterday and they had more on the bench and in the pipeline. TFC is so dependent on high priced foreign talent that it stymies the development of their youth as has been covered elsewhere on this site as being in the GTA, they have substantially more to work with then Montreal (or Vancouver). On that latter point, I really see Vancouver failing on the CanCon in recent years and they should be the ones looking to Montreal as a future blue print for success. Hoping Yao and Rea continue the CPL to MLS progression for CFM in 2023. An Observer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Montreal is playing unbelievably well, with Kone and Johnston having big games. They are behind by that early goal but really deserve to be level, at least, and their play is outstanding. Really interesting to see Johnston as wingback and getting up that high.

Free kick Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) I would advise those who are rooting for Waterman be in Qatar, NOT TO watch this game because it could be painful. PS.: My view: I didnt have a strong opinion either way on this topic. But this game is pushing me one direction Edited October 23, 2022 by Free kick Cadeau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vancanman Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I tuned in about 15 minutes ago, and that team that plays in a baseball stadium has hardly touched the ball, and they're now up 2 - 0. What's the deal with the Montréal fans and the New York keeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 What Free Kick said. It could have turned out different, but NYC is the defending champs and they do have a keeper that kept them ahead when Montreal worked real hard to tie it up in the first half. Tough game for the team, but they had a very good season all things considered. Free kick, Kadenge and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal have always looked vulnerable at the back. Outside of Johnston, their best players were poor and NYC were patient, played an excellent road game, got an outstanding performance from their keeper when needed and were clinical on their chances.

Gian-Luca Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 They needed a better match and leadership from Wanyama, who was the guy who stopped marking the 2nd goal scorer on the goal and looked the most nervous and sloppy in the opening five minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SthMelbRed Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The 4-5 deliveries in the box from AJ in those highlights were world-class. Then ZBG came on and put in another one that'd fit into that category, as well. That Montreal only converted one of them into a goal is pretty damning, even if the NYC 'keeper made a couple of great saves. Highlights don't look great for Waterman or Pantemis. How did Kone do, overall, for those who watched the full match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Well, Montreal played New York off the pitch and lost 3-1. Miler and Wanyama were uncharacteristically poor. A stone cold penalty against Mihailovic in the 1st half was not awarded. A healthy Quioto could have made a difference. At least none of the Canadians got injured. Johnston the best of the Montreal players on the day. Edited October 23, 2022 by jonovision costarg, gator and P-O 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I quite enjoyed watching the bits of Montreal I was able to catch this year. More fun than watching the MLS team I tried to adopt way back (Whitecaps for Western geography.) To those more in the know: Who is realistically leaving the club over the winter?
