InglewoodJack Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I need Herdman to really get cooking for September and field a lineup with both Piette and Bombito at DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Really curious why a future 6 is playing CB on the regular… you’d think Colorado knows him better than Herdman. Edited July 3, 2023 by Dominic94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoppage Time Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Do we have players at GC for them to play their natural and strongest position, for example, Bombito at CB? Should the starting lineup be fundamentally changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullback Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Hasn’t Bombito played at fullback in his appearances with the Rapids? I know the game he got sent off in he was narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borjans Sweatpants Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Kind of a side note, but this was surprising to me: Both Bombito and Davies are essentially the same age, born in the year 2000 (Bombito in March and Phonzy in November). I feel like we see Moise as a teenager or something because of his inexperience, when it’s just a result of the college / Super Draft route I guess. johnyb and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 fwiw in the last match I thought he looked much more comfortable and effective as a midfielder than in the back three. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even outside of the college route, he’s 1 of 5 new debutants that didn’t play in a youth camp. Meaning they were “surprises” as no one knew about them, where as we’ve been following Davies for a long time (for obvious reasons).

Like Kone, he's another guy who played in the PLSQ not that long ago. Farsi is another, though that was quite a few years back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes played as a wingback though if thats what you are referring to... i think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Good game from him today. Needs to use his strength more at this level sometimes but he is learning. Was a great tournament for him considering his inexperience. Pretty excited for him and to see where he goes.. ...Hopefully back to CB.

kingvikingstad Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 He was a standout performer to me. He oozes potential. I can see him as a DM or a CB. Whichever he plays, I'd just prefer he sticks with one and becomes the best version of it.

Whichever he plays, I'd just prefer he sticks with one and becomes the best version of it. I don't see him as a DM. He just doesn't have that 360 degree feel and first touch needed when under pressure in possession. If you are looking for a guy just to do closing down defensive work in that role, then fine, but I fear that he would be a guy who would cough up the ball too much at bad times and locations. As a CB, when in possession, the field is in front of you most of the time, not coming at you in all directions like at DM. And with that, technical ability is at a premium to excel in that role. I would personally like to see him develop as a CB at club level. He's athletic with recovery wheels so he can snuff out those route one balls that plagued our back line incumbents prior to and during the WC.

You’ve brought back the anxiety of a younger me being moved out of the back because it was thought I was good enough on the ball to play as a DM for some games. The game seems so much simpler when playing at the back vs when you are pushed into the midfield, and I’m talking at a significantly lower level.

Obinna Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Bombito redeemed himself last night. I rolled my eyes when I saw him starting in midfield (again), but he looked better against a better team. Needs to get reps at Colorado now. I want him to earn his calls and not just be a pet-project by Herdman and co.

As a very amateur version of Kimmich myself, RB who was attempted at CDM, adjusting to having to receive the ball from behind you and pivot to turn upfield rather than almost always moving forward with the ball (other than the occasional pass from the keeper) can be a difficult adjustment. I couldn't even imagine with a high press. maccaliam and BearcatSA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's always had a few for years, and I don't mind it being someone who is showing promise and has actually performed well. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
