Corbeanu has not really played enough the last few weeks. And really we do not really need more attacking option. The only player that you could swap for him is maybe Millar. But Millar is older and has way more experience at both the professional level and also for the CMNT. It was the right decision in my opinion.

dyslexic nam Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Interesting comments by Herdman on Arfield. On the 46 man extended roster but it was a just-in-case situation. I take that to mean that it may have been possible if a Atiba and/or Oso weren’t healthy enough to play.

I think the fact he's still so inconsistent did him in. He has a habit of starting off strong (goals early on for MK, Sheffield and Blackpool) and then fading off hard. He can't seem to maintain his level, which we know is high but three teams in and his valleys are really noticeable and he still can't seem to figure it out. narduch and PastPros 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate corbeanu and wanted him on the squad. from a managers perspective, This makes sense. It was 2 of waterman, Fraser or corbeanu. waterman-position of need. fraser- been there more often. Potentially a player of need at cm with our cms all coming off injuries and likely that we play atiba before waterman at cb. corbeanu - our deepest position of striker/ winger. some people call for corbeanu over Ugbo. Ugbos played vs World Cup talent in ligue 1. He’s at a different level than corbeanu.

goleafs67 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 So sounds like Herdman could have brought in Arfield but chose not to... could look back on that as a huge mistake if Hutch or Staq go down and guys like Fraser have to step in. Really hope it wasn't some ego issue still lingering driving this decision. If Scott was open to being there he should have been, "brotherhood" or not. gator and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally agree, but at least he has a skill set that could be useful at some point. If we’re down goals late and just need someone to throw on the pitch that can cause havoc and run at defenders - he’s your guy. I don’t really see a scenario where Millar sees the pitch.

Should be in there over Cav Theo will be an important player for next cycle, but he's more of a wide player, and we've got plenty of depth there, whereas Cav has a fairly unique and useful skillset as far as our forwards go. Not to mention that he's 0.5 goals/game for Canada, tired for 6th in all-time CMNT goals, and coming off a decent season at club level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Not surprised at all that Fraser made the squad. The fact that he left his club early with games to play tells me he had a good idea that he would be on the squad and I’m sure for Deinze this is a good opportunity for them. Have they ever had a player in the World Cup I wonder ? YorkRegionFan, narduch, Jack1997 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califax Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Very happy to see Fraser and Cornelius in the squad. Very interesting about Arfield. You really have to wonder if Herdman opened the door to taking him in place of an injured Osario, why the hell he’s not taking him in place of an out of form Marc Anthony Kaye. I don’t see how Kaye gets minutes in this world cup at all. If it’s attacking it’s anyone else, if it’s defensive it’s Piette.

A_Gagne Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 gutted for Kennedy, Henry and Crepeau, but their losses are other guy's opportunities. I think if the thing we're arguing over is Corbeanu's non-inclusion +/- Fraser's inclusion, I'm calling that a win.

SoccMan Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 No real surprises , Millar for Corbeanu for me was the right decision , Corbeanu is still young and if he keeps improving will be there in 2026 .

ag futbol Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Cobeanu will be one for the future. There are some arguments to be made around the margins but in totality I think it’s hard to argue he should really be there over some of the other players in the squad who have the ability to provide more of an immediate impact. If this is what we have to be upset about I think they did a pretty good job. I find Liam Frasers inclusion an odd one but we can at least point to some pretty consistent on-field play with the nats as justification. Realistically, he’s among the bottom 3-5 spots and very unlikely to see the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
