U G L Y

You ain’t got no alibi

You ugly.

[maccaliam]

That was a terrible half. 

[jonovision]

I think there was a goal in a half if Davies didn't try to do it himself all the time.

Why did adekugbe head that ball before the Bennett foul? He had about 20 yards of g space to take it down. They immediately sent it long and Bennett won a foul. That could have been dangerous. 

Yeah really poor decision. We had good pressure too. He gave away momentum and then almost cost us.

He had a really good half, but that was just a really strange decision

[ag futbol]

Not a good half. 

continually puzzled by Herdman’s selection choices. Just cause most of your best attackers are wide forwards, doesn’t mean you can field them all at the same time.

At least some of Tajon, Miller, Laryea, David need to come off the bench. 

[Big_M]

Bring johnston and ugbo...send davies to the side...larin has a history of not finishing in these situations

[VinceA]

Davies is holding on to the ball too long. We also need a 3rd MF. 2 MFs does not work with this team.

Honestly - I love Davies. Who doesn't? 

But I'm so glad we have so much forward depth coming up. I think he's so much smarter and more controlled when he plays LB

[Lansdude]

I'm sure it's been said ad nauseum already but I just wanna say it was huge mistake to play on this shitty turf! 😡

[gwsmith63]

Pretty underwhelming first 45. 

Need to step things up in the second. CR far too comfortable right now the way things are playing out. 

[Lansdude]

We need Osorio

[Corazon]

Love the support we're receiving in Edmonton but is it too late to switch next week's game?  This turf is horrendous and embarrassing.  My friends from the US were laughing at this field.  If there's a competitive advantage for Canada, I'm yet to see it.  The formation doesn't help.  Herdman being too cute again.  Put a 3rd central midfielder in and put your best players out there.

We've got so much talent that we don't need to use these 'games' for advantage anymore

[SirBobsaget]

Whatever that whole first half game plan needs to be binned and burned. Worst half performance in 2021 by far. Whoever made the decision to play in Edmonton (marketing dept) should not make decisions any more. Panama sat way back after taking the lead but they broke them down way easier than this.

[kacbru]

Either David doesn't make himself effective or he is not used effectively. Either way he is invisible. 

[jonovision]

Really enjoying all of the half time overreactions.

He's a goal scorer who needs service to be effective against top-75 teams. If he gets no service, he's not going to do much except play hard. 

[ag futbol]

They need to pull someone up top and put in Ugbo or Cav. 
 

I will scream this as many times as I need to, you need a true target man in the middle to complement our best attackers. 

 David can’t play that role. Larin is okay at it but not great. 

[Canuckistan2019]

This game is so trash my god 

[_Vic_]

David invisible? Uhmmm Buchanan..

Don't think it's Edmonton or Davies or the turf. Just a sh*t half. It's happens. Only one goal from glory.

[spitfire]

Need to simplify and just move the ball and id put Davies back up front with David it gives them something to think about occupied the back line. . Stay the course and break them down. Tajon needs to find his way into this game been quiet 

[Big_M]

Panama takes it in honduras...we need the three points here

[toontownman]

FT Panama wins.
