Colliedor Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Why am I seeing players like Fraser and Shome placed as wingers? lol. I saw very little of Brym, but from what I saw his style can probably suit the winger role as well if needed. If Borges plays wing, I hope they play him on the right and not the left. I think he's way better on the right side where he can cut in. Left side forces him to be more direct and frankly I don't think he has the speed to pull it off.

If you’re referencing my lineup it was more supposed to be 3 attacking mids with him on the leftest most side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Herdman has proven willing to switch up formations, so anyone's guess what the team shape will be. That makes line up predictions more difficult, at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 7 hours ago, Obinna said: Shome is one player in particular I am excited about. He's a '97 who is playing regularly in MLS and playing well. He never seems to let his team down. He has a high work rate and is somewhat athletic. He is not contributing much in the goal department, but keeps it simple and doesn't try and do too much. I like that he generally makes good decisions too. Right now I see him as a more robust version of Teibert. RT may arguably be more clean, but I have been impressed by how clean Shome was last year with the Impact. Anyways, I think there will be competition between them because I think Shome's roll would be similar to the roll Teibert plays in the midfield. Can Shome pass forward? Than he's got Teibert beat.

TFC2017 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Currently we sit 15points behind El Salvador. Canada win vs Barbados: 1.13pts, Canada loss vs Barbados: -3.87pts Canada win vs Iceland: 3.11pts, Canada loss vs Iceland: -1.89pts El Salvador win vs Iceland: 3pts, El Salvador loss vs Iceland: -2pts. If we win out and El Salvador loses to Iceland the gap drops to just 8 points. I also believe there are another 3 FIFA windows to be played. Things could get interesting if our depth comes clutch and Iceland grabs a win over El Salvador. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, only 2 official windows but there has been talk of playing out of window in May. Also, we would gain 0.61 for a draw against Iceland. So the most likely scenario is we exit this window with 2.86 additional points. TFC2017 and Addona 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) This camp is probably very important for Chapman. Not only does he get a chance to play his way back into the Canada picture, but he also gets a head start ahead of his Inter Miami pre-season camp. I am hoping the early extra reps with Canada give him a leg up on the other midfielders who will be vying for a place in the team. It's a brand new club so Chapman really has a chance to cement a spot and grow into his potential.

Shway Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Is anyone else finding it hard to get excited/interested in game that you can't potentially watch? 3 games, a 26 man roster, average age is 23, has this ever happened!... I really want to see how some of these young guns fare against Barbados. I feel like Nelson can be a surprise! nfitz, Corazon, Obinna and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I'm hoping they don't broadcast the Barbados game. I'm sure Iceland know nothing about 95% of our team.

It's a January friendly, so even if they had film I doubt they'll put much effort into in-depth analyzing. At the most I see them tuning in out of interest, not because they want or need to gain intelligence about us. I don't see them focusing much on how they'll deal with our players, formation, etc., because all that is subject to change from one game to the next anyways. It is a friendly afterall and we have a big squad called. It's hard enough for us fans to predict who or how we play against Iceand. I doubt their coaching staff will spend much time trying to figure those things out.
