dyslexic nam Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hopefully we get the chance to see some young Canucks tonight given the 1st leg lead Vancouver are carrying into this one. narduch, Watchmen and Ivan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like it can't be all young Canadians either though. Tough place to play. So maybe one of Yao or Ahmed (but not both) and Hasal in net. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with T-Shirt Man, you never know. Ahmed might get a look in a more advanced role with Raposo staying at LB. With Cubas, Gressel, and Schöpf also left at home, tonight's starting midfield three looks pretty lean (Teibert, Berhalter, and ?, Vite?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably rather go Ahmed in his natural position and Raposo more advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still training Raposo to be a LB, so is they're committed to his being there, give him the minutes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that as well, but I'm unsure of how much training you get from this kind of game and they're giving themselves so little upfront as is that they may want him further up the pitch.

Watchmen Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Not gonna lie: no Teibert stuns me. I thought for sure they'd go with him in this game. Edit: Reading the details, he's dressed but injured and unlikely to play. Edited March 15, 2023 by Watchmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Now that's a small crowd. CCL should maybe consider switching to a bus league. narduch and dyslexic nam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 So CanCon is Hasal, Yao, Raposo, and Ahmed. And on the bench we have Campagna, Rusty, Habibullah, and Johnson. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that this is probably considered a lost cause but you would think that the chance to see a visiting team (from a richer league) would at least draw a crowd in the triple digits.

But holy shit - there’s literally like 40 people in the stands. EDIT: looks like a bunch more now. Still ridiculously low but at least a couple hundred.

Watchmen Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Feel like the Whitecaps need 1. Been close but finishing continues to be a concern. (5-0 last week notwithstanding). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) So far Hasal has made some good saves. Was hoping Yao would be a bright light but he has been mixed so far - and was centrally involved in two of Espana’s better chances.
