Also, with huge amounts of new people watching our national team and jumping on the train, over reactions and hot takes are to be expected. Unfortunately that is a byproduct of a successful program .....and we have one We have come a long way in a very short time...but a successful program needs legs. We havnt taken the youth teams serious for years...poor coaches, no camps, no money, no games, no preparation for tournies etc etc. If we want to keep guys like Kone in the program, and stop this FLORES/MITROVIC soap opera baloney, we need to be serious about the youth set up. Sort these kids out and get them on stream when they are 16-17, wearing the maple leaf and playing games for us before they hit the senior team. The stuff proper football programs do.

I see on the highlights that he forced the Cincy keeper into a good save with a quickly taken right footed shot from distance. No hesistation or looking to lay it off first. Good to see.

costarg Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Quote WhoScored: the 5 lowest grades are the 5 Canadians. Johnston, Waterman and Kone all at 6.3, Miller at 6.4 and Breza at 6.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one good flash with a shot on goal, but the rest was ok at best. He made one really bad pass deep in Montreal's territory, outside of that, nothing to talk about. dyslexic nam and Sal333 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Ok I’m gonna say it…. Kone is not making the World Cup team and if he is we are in serious trouble. People on here, Facebook, OneSoccer and Twitter please relax !!! He’s a 19 year old talented kid that has played only 8 real game. God I see Montreal fans just going crazy. Relax !!! Please stop being SO stupid and use your brain not your heart for this one. He looked good for 10 mins vs a Park the bus CR team and not very good against a decent Panama team. this World Cup is gonna bring out some stupid fans. It’s the same with Shaffelburg. My family and friends from the east coast are going crazy and saying oh he’s gonna make the World Cup. “He got pick for team Canada once, he’s an amazing player. “ Again if Shaffelburg makes the world cup we are in trouble.

VinceA Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 He's one for the future. Nothin wrong with that. He's another in a long list of talented 2002-born players who all have their best years ahead of them. This is all a wonderful experience for him and we'll see where he goes from there.

Well, they both could go on an incredible run of form from now until the season end, which leads into the World Cup. Looks like you need to relax a little as well, whether they get called or not is not so black and white. Speaking of form, somebody give me the QRD on how he did today.

I didn’t watch the game but I was intrigued to check his stats. Won a fair amount of duels but I read that his passing completion was 52% on the game and he lost possession 13 times. I didn’t see the game so I can’t comment if the eye test was better than the stats on FotMob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, he had a pretty bad game passing wise, most of the passes were placed well enough, but perhaps a tad not crisp enough vs the RedBulls famed high press. Growing pains, he'll adapt, adjust and it'll make him better. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Hombre Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Someone needs to teach him how to get over the ball when he strikes it. johnyb and Macksam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macksam Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) He played more defensively today, almost like a deep lying midfielder distributing the ball out. He was excellent in this role, played some great passes out to the wingers throughout the first half and and early part of the second. I think Nancy is giving him a specific role to play each week, developing a different aspect to his game, great thinking in my opinion to have him eventually become a complete midfielder. He needs to work on his strikes from outside the box though, and he fizzled out the last half hour, but that was like the rest of his teammates so I'm not going to really knock him for that considering it seemed like a team issue.

Gian-Luca Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 He started on the weekend, went 65 minutes. Given they play again in a few days, they might have just been resting him for tonight (which I think is the first time he hasn't played, and whether a coincidence or not, also the first time in quite a while that they lost). johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
