Between Henry’s injury and Waterman’s performance, Cornelius is now a lock if he wasn’t already.

Dayne punching balls that he should be catching.

I'm not sure how Wheeler goes from watching that Waterman play to saying he's probably going to the World Cup. He's not at the level needed.

He's getting bullied in physical match ups.

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Sinclair needs to catch that.

Playing week in and week out - you are probably right.  

[Floortom]

St.Clair needs to catch those ..right in his hands again and he punches away

[Razcal]

To be fair to Waterman, the fickle Voyageurs would also be complaining about Henry if he was in the game.

It's gonna be so lit when Akinola comes in for Cavallini at the 60th

LOL Akinola doesn't have the fitness to play 30 minutes!

He doesn't seem to like catching balls...which is uhhh a problem.

I'm not judging players coming off weeks of no football.

[Shway]

Iron man Johnston is having a shit show

This game so far has shown that our depth isn't nearly as good as we think it is.

I don't think anyone is under the impression that we have great depth. The positive is that most of the depth pieces that aren't up to par are older, and most of our core is younger. Obviously that doesn't help us with the tournament we have to play in a week and a half, but pretty much every player on the pitch above 26, save for Piette, osorio and Cava are replacement level and will be phased out as soon as our younger guys start taking a leap.

[Corazon]

Cavallini also looking like he wants to be behind Ugbo on the depth chart.  Kaye doing everything he can to make Herdman's decision difficult.

Should we judge Waterman for the football he played before that then? Cuz he was trash against NYCFC too.

So was Miller. Where's the same energy for him?

*60 minutes, because we're going to extra time, and we need an answer to the question- can Akinola do it on a warm Arabian night in Bahrain?

Anyone watch him week to week and know if this is an issue normally?

[Razcal]

Everyone does realize most of these guys haven't played for a month or two right?

Nobody has watched pre-season games before?

Huge difference with Crepeau, who does not look like he's going to be solid, then is. Catches balls, holds shots, technically superior keeper.

What has Ugbo down in the last 6 months to suggest he should play any role at all for Canada at Qatar?

Cavallini looks way too out of shape 

[VinceA]

Acting like we're gonna tiki-taka on this pitch with out of season players is hilarious. The game is literally for these guys to to build match fitness.

[BearcatSA]

De Vos talking technique with Waterman during the water break.

[narduch]

If Henry is out Waterman may be in by default 

[InglewoodJack]

Every time St. Clair touches the ball I get anxiety. Man just throws his hands up- he would be the greatest goalie in the world if his net was the size of a hockey net. 

 

Need the Drake meme where the first square is St. Clair with Drake disapproving, and the second is Sinclair with Drake approving.
