Could not have come across more conceited in his “I’m right he was wrong and I’m offended I was right” rant even though everyone was right to a certain degree at this point. Made himself look like a donut going after Nef like that too, not a classy look.

lamptern Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Oh boy, it turns out that this suspension drama cost me whole day with 0 productivity. But...no regret at all. I am still looking forward to watching the finale tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think if he hasn't trained in a week he would not be ready. If he had Covid but was able to keep up fitness, that is another thing. But normally you'd want him to have a full session at least, that is pretty standard. I suppose we were at the pitch this afternoon? And that subs and unused last day trained full out? Would much prefer to have him start, but fully fit, not a weakened version, we can't afford that. Now if he could put in 30 minutes as a sub, that'd be great. LeoH037 and shamrock 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Based on what I have seen with the Nats, he is one of the fittest guys we have. It seems like some of our guys have as much gas in the 90th minute as the first - Johnston, Laryea and Staq are the ones that always seem to stand out for me. If I was betting on it, I would say he starts. shamrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was betting on it, I would say he starts. Last match was one of the few times Johnston seemed to be struggling late. If you see him in the celebration after David's goal he looks pretty gassed. There wasn't a lot of action down his side in the second half so it wasn't that evident in his play.

The Staq news is old so if it is just that he is actually playing then it isn’t a big scoop. And there is no buzz about some surprise dual. Just seems odd to me.

In any case, from what the US press say, they are somewhat fearful of Eustaquio, they would adjust their tactics for him and probably key on him if he were playing. I have the sense the Mexicans did so at Azteca as well, will have to watch that another time. If the US don't see Stephen, they would feel they could dominate the midfield. This is the question: with both Davies and Stephan, the opposition adjusts and you have an advantage as they are more worried about you than you about them. Without them, rival tactics are bolder. I think Tajon garners a similar respect, but after all, for the US he's just a good young MLSer, they won't be awed. johnyb, narduch and maccaliam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid-Tone Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) The report said he trained Saturday morning. Remember that a direct flight from Lisbon to Toronto only takes “3 hrs” due to the time zone difference. It’s very possible that he could train in the morning and land in Toronto that same night.

How early is Porto running training that Eustaquio could make a 1040 am flight in Lisbon that also requires a 1 hour connecting flight from Oporto?
