Free kick Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) 5 hours ago, El Hombre said: I don't understand the underrating of Piette. I was skimming through the Arfield thread and there were a few comments lauding Arfield's game against the US as a reason why he should be called back but in that game Piette played out of his head. He was a big reason we won that one. Further to that, his game has progressed and he's having a great season at the exact right time for the World Cup. I really think he'd be fine stepping in to the MAK role with Eustaquio and his defensive acumen might be something we need going up against the likes of Belgium and Croatia. Really hope these next two games make a few believers out of some. Piette was Man of the match in that game. It was that performance that sealed it for me that he belongs on this squad. The US were unable to get any buildup or momentum going and many times, it was Piette who was there nullify any kind of US threat. And its not just me saying it, I was hearing the same around me in the stadium and on the way home (amongst the crowd) in public transit. And this was from a Toronto crowd talking about a Montreal player. Edited September 18, 2022 by Free kick El Hombre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastPros Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 A general question about formation makeup: If you're playing a back 3, why is it preferred that that central defender is right-footed? e.g. why wouldn't Kamal Miller be a good fit for that position?

Depends on balance and how you play it. You could probably play two FB cum CB type players on the sides, like Miller and Johnston, however you would want your central CB good in the air and positionally savvy. The other option is play two prototypical CBs on the sides, and a smart ball playing CB through the middle. Or a mixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking specific to Canada? Personally I like to think of our LCB/RCB as pseudo fullbacks at times so I like the idea of a LCB who has experience at full back similar to a Johnston at RCB.

MauditYvon Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Miller, while at Orlando, mostly played LB. I also discovered Johnston with CMNT and I was fully impressed to discover what RCB was. Always thought it was his main position, but he made me change my mind this season with Montréal as RB. Still believe he’s great at both. Edited September 20, 2022 by MauditYvon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauditYvon Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I also do. Especially with the chemistry he has with Laryea. He lets him get up forward. But I never thought he was an offensive RB. He is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauditYvon Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Kind of weird because he does well in 3-5-2 at rcb AND as full back, but doesn’t get the chance to play rb with Canada and doesn’t get the chance to play rcb with Montréal. Boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only really ever heard it discussed in Canada's context, so not sure if it's actually "a thing"... But playing a back 3 is somewhat of a new fad as well. My question is more about the guy in the middle. If he's good in the air and defending, what difference does it make which is his preferred foot?

I see his point, unless a deal is struck where he goes to the World Cup, and will be cap-tied. Bring in Raheem Edwards, at least he has a shot to get some playing time.
