Man. Hutch needs to come off. Looks slow motion

If Hutch isn’t off at halftime, JH officially got this game wrong.

[Floortom]

At the half: Kone on for Hutchinson....maybe Junior for Larin or David

Hutch does not have the speed for this game, and the Croatian midfield is top class.

 

this game needs Kone and Cornelius.

Cornelius???

[JAVIERF]

Well Canadá is out after 2 matches .  a Shame

[InglewoodJack]

Honestly can’t think of a single good moment from David. When he played the ball around the 45 minute mark, I practically forgot he was playing.

[Ozzie_the_parrot]

Think you have to question whether the midfield should have been bolstered a bit once there was a lead but hindsight is 20/20 and it didn't initially look like Croatia were going to overpower things to the extent they eventually did.

[Macksam]

Weakness is the team's defense and it shows, nobody is tracking any of the Croatian guys' runs...

‘F’ off you.

Larin and David giving us no outlets, then the mids are getting beaten on easy give and goes.

Hutch, yes, but the rest of the team has to step up and challenge. Not even midfield fouls up a goal or drawing. 

Borjan, also, a limited keeper.

Too early to say that but agree it doesn't look good right now.

The 3 goals (including the offside) from Croatia were pinpoint in the corner of the net. These guys don't miss.

the mid is the weakness. the mid is what is letting 6 croatians run at 3 defenders in transition

[JuicyHam]

There needs to be changes at half. A big speech will not be enough

Finishing masterclass for sure. Absolutely clinical.

osorio for hutch. maybe hoilett for larin

[VinceA]

I think this game might need Piette.

[JAVIERF]

Davies is playing his agenda.  team plays better without him,  he walks he doesnt walk for BMunich,  if you are sloppy in attack and defence you are out.  Canada will lose all 3 matches.  Because of this prock attitude.  Nice header though.  Great game by Buchanan best Canadian player.  Jonathan David is a shadow!!!

All that clown does is come here and make stupid comments.  I've got him on ignore, and I wish he'd get banned.

[mowe]

Have to change to 3 CMs now. I’d put in Kone for Hutch and Oso for David. Go 3-5-2 with Davies and Larin up top.

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

S eems counter intuitive but David off

 Piette and Kone  for him and Hutch.

Piette shadow  Modric release Staq to go forward

Not sure what else.

 

 

[Floortom]

Reminds me of that Honduras 2-1 loss back in the 2018 Hex where we scored fist and then just sat back and got dominated for the rest of the half. 
There was no composure after that, just blindly dumping and clearing balls, no ability to play out of the back etc..

in the end Croatia is a better team than us though - I can live with a loss here but Herdman needs to make some changes and go for it in the 2nd half.

Because of my opinion.  Because I'm not Canadian,  but I was rooting for Canada football since 2000?

Whether we or you think it or not, take your defeatist attitude and get the hell off this thread.
