jonovision Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Hopefully one or more of Saliba, Rea, or Zouhir takes the bull by the horns this year, but nice to see that the depth in midfield for Montreal has a good deal of Canadian content. johnyb and PegCityCam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He's having a decent game so far. looks about the same height as Kone. Playing to the left of Wanyama johnyb, Shway, Dominic94 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Need I switch to the Montreal game? Watching this washed TFC team. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 He had a solid outing, I think mainly he needs to play and keep playing. Could be one to watch Jack1997, PastPros, toontownman and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Looking better every week, he’s growing into it. He was subbed off at 53, definitely one to watch and will get better as time goes. I did miss his turnover, growing pains forsure, it’s early but reminiscent of the rise of Ismael Kone.

Yea, thought he looked really confident today and was generally positive, aside from the turnover, but he gets bullied off the ball too easily. Seemed understandably pissed when he was subbed off.

P-O Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 CPL caliber. That's where he should play at his age. Ceiling no idea yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was responsible for Union's first goal. An erratic pass. Saliba's game last night I would describe as an Irish countryside. Full of ups and downs.

InglewoodJack Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Missed the game last night but Saliba had the highest FotMob rating of any Montreal player (7.4). How did he look? Per twitter the Saliba hype train has left the station. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just with reasonable odds you figure at least one of those guys ends up good enough and willing enough to play for us. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see how he turns out, our CM depth could end up being formidable. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did he look? Per twitter the Saliba hype train has left the station. I thought he played well. He's still 19 so made a few errors but was decent defensively and strong moving the ball forward. 82% passing, 11 (7) in ground duels, 3 tackles, 2 interceptions and 2 blocked shots. When he would get the ball, he'd start looking upfield, not unlike Kone. Was also playing centrally without a veteran presence, so it was a big task. costarg, johnyb, Corazon and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't played much recently and I haven't watched him play when he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No clue who you’re talking about but he’s certainly not a 19 year old CM with Montreal and certainly not the front runner (for now) out of Montreal’s 3 exciting youngsters who just had a solid appearance against VWC that is getting many Montreal fans rightfully excited.

Bison44 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 And hes not Ahmed either, HAHA. Its nice to see all 3 MLS squads with good prospects working their way through the system.

I always forget about Ahmed because Vancouver don’t have as many young Canadians on their team, so it’s always fun to remember he’s another option. I mean, between Saliba, Zouhir, Rea, Ahmed, JMR, and I’ll throw in Jayden Nelson, one of those guys has to be the real deal eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be the grumpy Vancouver hater (again) but: 2004 - Saliba, JMR 2003 - Zouhir 2002 - Rea, Nelson 2000 - Ahmed Ahmed is closer to Choiniere (1999) as a "prospect" than any of the rest. This injury has really derailed his progress as the rest already have a head start on him and he was catching up. He needs to get healthy quick and get back on the pitch as this is a critical time for him.

If Ahmed starts getting caps for Canada at age 25, I think that’s a big win for us too. The way he was playing before the injury, I think we would’ve seen him get called up to and play at the gold cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
