Whom should we not sub at the half?

Crepeau.  Except he did go down there for awhile.....

[Club Linesman]

Maybe Herdman should take a poll and find out who drank the least after the Jamaica game.  Players not V’s. And then sub those 5 on for the second half.

[frmr]

Cavallini offers nothing for me. His hold up play is poor, his touch is poor, his link up play is poor. He’s basically a target man at this point. 

[DeRo_Is_King]

Not much in the way of chances, but not a terrible half. I would like to see some changes, though. 

[sose]

wow.. I expected more from Cav.. I would give Ugbo/Larin the 2nd half .. and put Millar in on the right.

 

[Joe Keeper]

Lazy, sloppy  lethargic half with so much to play for. Really frustrating. Make some subs and play like a world cup bound team. 

[Cblake]

Herdman can light a bit of fire under them and make the changes needed to get the elusive goal that did not come in the first 45.

Canada Ocho record by kit:

Red: 6W - 2D - 0L   18 GF  3 GA

Black: 2-1-1.               5 GF 3 GA

White: 0-1-0               0 GF 0 GA

 

edit: Fixed. 18 GF in red. Not 16.

Unlike other games where most of our attacking play has come from the wings, we have nothing going on.  Is it because Sam and Tjon are being forced to sit back?  Didn't seem to change things with the change in formation.

Superstition.  There's nothing wrong with his hand.

Makes sense. Helps figure out who is who when Atiba plays in the back . Both are Bald.

Not many V's who didn't drink a lot!🍺

That's how we pick our lineups for my old timer's team, so there might be something there.

I am sure a lot of people regardless of who they were, a player, coach, supporter, staff etc drank a lot in the 24 hours that followed the final whistle on Sunday.

“Why all the Cavallini hate.”

Because he somehow manages to be the teams’s greatest red card liability as a substitute forward. That’s why.

Has never had a red card for Canada.

Yeah, men's team tournament in Perth every year, that was our experience.

[toontownman]

Don't drink the KJ kool aid boys.. we need pot 3 not 4!

It's a tough environment switch. We will be better 2nd half. We literally have to be..right?? Hope kone gets another 10 at least.

The winning formula:

Those that went easy the night before - up front

Those that went hard the night before - midfield

Those that are still drunk - backline.

Well yeah, when you're playing the farmers in Perth, you need a fair bit of liquid courage.

Got to get that goal and secure Pot 3 and top of the table, building on that will goes miles in the World Cup qualifying. Get the goal and move on.

Man, I feel like I was watching a different game than most of you lot. Cava was fine, Kone no worse than anyone else after the first 15 minutes. Most disappointing players probably David and Kaye. Both teams look like they have nothing to play for. Because they don't really. You think a single player cares about this Pot 3 nonsense?

No Changes for Canada at half it seems.

 

[Cblake]

Hope the 50 members of the Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Navy in attendance tonight are having a great time.

I’m with you, until you said Kone.  You’re very wrong on that one but he did settle in as the half progressed.
