What are the dimensions on this field? Seems narrow. And the grass seems so long. Can't be helpful for technically skilled players like David.

I think the poor field and the absence of Hoilett are the major factors. DR beating ES would be huge for us, right?

The surface looks very poor. Resembles your average high school grass field in the GTA. Difficult to play the ball on the ground, especially in tight spaces.

Carl Haworth has 4 goals and 4 assists in 15 USL games this year. And this is almost entirely from the right back position. He's also the captain of a USL side that is unbeaten in their last ten games. I'm surprised he hasn't had more of an opportunity with the CMNT, especially given their relative weakness at both full back positions.

I like Jonathan Osorio, but I think he has to be dropped for David. Alternatively, Piette goes to the bench and you have Osorio, Arfield and David as your midfield trio. It isn't absolutely necessary to have a deep lying DM sitting in front of the back four.

They have to find a place for David in the starting 11. He's too good. May very well be the most talented player on the team. Would love to see him in a central attacking role.
