Not starting David is an interesting choice

No David?  Lol

Kaye starting ?

[narduch]

Eustaqiuo not even fit enough for the bench

Ah sorry - missed that.

So Kone is the first MF off the bench for the first two matches, and then Kaye gets the start over him? When can we finally accept that Kone is likely our 2nd best midfielder already behind Eustaquio?

[dyslexic nam]

I think this is the confirmed one.  

[scullion44]

Guessing we don't see Kone today because if there's a sub it will be Kaye for Piette

[jhoops__]

Larin over David is a joke!

[canuckgbp]

So he starts Kaye (who according KJ he may not trust) and leaves Kone on the bench. 

[Gian-Luca]

Let’s hope the performance is better than the TSN pre game show which just spent 5 minutes ripping apart CSB…sigh

Ridiculous

I love JD but he has been pretty ineffective so far. 

[scullion44]

I'm so done with James Duthie. Can he please stop talking

[canuckgbp]

I don’t want to hear bs about protecting Kone either. He look ok against Belgium and improved against Croatia when a lot of the team was a mess. 
 

Thought a start was logical. Looks like we are light in midfield again…

 

Edit- guess it depends where Junior lineups

Don't love it but we will see how it goes. Would have preferred Kone, or even Piette, to Kaye. 

I also hate to see David on the bench but his tournament hasn't been good.

He was good v Belgium and not Croatia  but still he deserves to start

But Larin was a ghost last game 

 

We have seen Larin score in spurts though so I can’t be too made at it

Those are certainly some lineup choices, that's for sure.

I am still in shock about how moronic that anti-CSB anti-CPL panel they just did was. Just utter horse manure, even more so when talking about developing Canadian players for 2026.

[A.D.I.D.A.S.]

So our head-to-head record against Morocco currently sits at 0 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. We're long overdue for a win.

Man do I need a stiff drink before this match 🥴

[jhoops__]

This could backfire big on Herdman.   No way this is our best starting 11.

[Floortom]

Strange lineup IMO.  No #6, Kaye starts, no David…we’ll see how it goes.

Looks like MAK is the first one to get minutes who didn’t in the first two matches. Other than the keepers, there are 6 left (Spoony, Ugbo, Cornelius, waterman, Fraser and Piette). Doubt more than one or two of them see pitch today.

[Cicero]

I guess Herdman doesn't think Kone can defend.
