With Miller kinda injured, Kennedy coming back from injury, Hoilett out and both Larin and David in form, do we run a 4-4-2? --------------Borjan --------------- Laryea - Johnston - Vitoria - Adekugbe Tajon - Eustaquio - Kone - Davies --------- Larin --- David ----------- If its 4-4-2.... Johnston will be RB. Vitoria RCB. Corneilus at LCB. everything else I would go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeRo_Is_King Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Lots of new faces for this camp. Should be interesting. I feel like the TFC contingent has a lot to do with the home game happening at BMO Field. Hope it pays off. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of Mexican strikers in Liga MX don't get called for the Mexican National Team so Cavallini shouldn't automatically make it based on playing in that league. I believe the "brotherhood" led to his spot in Qatar, not his sparkling performances. Brym has upside to explore and, perhaps, Akinola deserves an opportunity to take part. I can't see Cavallini being a part of the squad long term on the trajectory we hope the CMNT will take towards 2026. king1010, Shway, Unnamed Trialist and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Cavallini being a part of the squad long term on the trajectory we hope the CMNT will take towards 2026. I couldn't disagree more. Cav actually had his best season in MLS leading up to the world cup. Akinola has not done anything to deserve a spot. Cav will be 33 come 2026 world cup. He still has plenty of legs left. Also if we have a player starting consistently in Liga MX, hes getting called up. We dont have the depth that Mexico has to look over that.

dyslexic nam Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Just now, king1010 said: Cav will be 33 come 2026 world cup. He still has plenty of legs left. He is also the sort of guy who can rage his way into an extra gear when needed. Regardless of age, he shows a level of drive and hunger I just don’t see from some of the other guys. In 2026 he isn’t going to be starting for us but I agree that he could still be in the mix for a prominent sub role - especially considering some of the other options. Akinola, Jebbo, Ugbo and Brym may or may not continue progressing beyond their current level - if Jebbo even commits. The fact is that right now, Cav is our third best striker and he has to be displaced for that to change. As for the upcoming window, I trust Herdman to work with the players to determine who needs to come to ensure the result and who can (or should) stay at they clubs to keep their momentum. That applies to a regular like Cav as well as young guys like Shaff. king1010, Ivan, lamptern and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Cav was left off to let him fully integrate into his new club, not because Akinola suddenly leapfrogged him on the depth chart. Herdman has made these kind of calls before, leaving guys off the roster who are at new clubs or are coming back from injury and hoping to regain their place. h coach, NVsoccer, Obinna and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all makes sense, but Herdman and KJ said he was left off due to injury, which is the concerning part. Ivan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal_Kick Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 A question: what is the difference between the CONCACAF Nations League tournament and the Gold Cup tournament? They both seem to be regional tournaments of CONCACAF teams. It seems odd to have two similar tournaments in the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
