CanadaFan123 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Here’s what I’d do to make it 26: Out: Zator, Brym, Hiebert, Ugbo, Shaffelburg, LDF In: Kennedy, Adekugbe, JRR, Ahmed, Nelson If Sam isn’t fit then I’d add Waterman. Also I know 99% are absolutely opposed to adding a certain striker who is our 4th all time leading scorer and playing at a higher level than MLS but I can’t help but wonder what he might look like in this system - seems a good fit.

Again not sure Kennedy is healthy. Radio silence since he came off early in his team's penultimate game and missing their last game. Has Adekugbe played enough? Shaffelburg not going anywhere. Just rewatched his minutes against France, a rushed tackle miss against Mbappe outside the box with plenty of help around was the worst display. Other than that worked hard defensively and help create the beginning of a couple possible chances. We need right-sided defenders especially if Laryea is covering the other side. So probably Zator stays. Nelson not starting regularly in Norway, can't see it.

Still, I think he can be useful in a situation where we are chasing a goal and need someone who can beat his man or make a move to open up the opposition defense.

InglewoodJack Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I don’t think any of our strikers should be dropped for others. We didn’t have enough time to give 3 of them any (significant) minutes, I don’t think having JRR ride the bench over Bair changes much.

Honestly not opposed to this. If there’s a time to call him in, that time is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 If Adekugbe is deemed fit, he would have played more/ comparable mins to Laryea in MLS this yr. Re Ahmed, don't current & ex Whitecaps Canadian players not named Davies, perform better for Canada? Must be something in the Vancouver water.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 7 hours ago, narduch said: The roster size is 26. And we currently have 27 guys called in (28 if you include Swiderski). My own prediction is Sirois comes in for McGill. And then maybe 1 other change. My thoughts exactly. McGill hasn't been getting pro minutes.

Ugbo I would keep Shaffelburg I would keep LDF I would keep Zator and Brym for me would be out Kennedy I would bring in Ahmed I would bring in JRR I would bring in Adekugbe would only be out for me because of injuries and Nelson unfortunately for me has to be out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Ahmed, don't current & ex Whitecaps Canadian players not named Davies, perform better for Canada? Must be something in the Vancouver water. Crepeau was excellent while in Vancouver. Adekugbe has been injured all year (either out or recovering but playing). Ahmed had a great season with the Whitecaps last year, but a mix of a formation change (that no one except Vanni thinks is good), injury to start the year, and the league catching on to some of his moves means he's regressed a bit. I'm not giving up on Ahmed by any means, it's just be a tough year. Cavallini blamed Vancouver but he's not performing in Mexico either and has played himself out of the NT picture (which is wild to think about, since was still up for consideration in March).

Seeing Marschs system, and understanding that he wants to play an evolving 442...I definitely understand your inclusions and omissions. I agree with them all except for Adekugbe as he isn't fit. Your drops is where I have some slight changes, I rather keep Zator than bring Waterman...he's just not versatile enough for me. LDF should join the U20's, Heibert, Ugbo, and Brym can go... The reality I've experienced over these past two friendlies, is that in this Marsch system without Kone and Staq in the middle 2....we're absolutely fucked.

I would love to see what Nelson could do in this sort of environment but I don’t see it happening for him yet. He isn’t exactly killing it in a lower league and while he has flashes of great offensive play I don’t think he has done enough, consistently, to warrant a call up. If we had bigger extended camps he would for sure be a part of that next-tier cohort, but I can’t see him getting called into a fully competitive roster until he does more at club level.

Unnamed Trialist Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 15 hours ago, narduch said: Marsch said a couple of changes. Not 6 or 7 A keeper, and maybe switch Tani out. Or a player on loan like Ugbo. I'd personally leave off Brym but I suppose Jesse doesn't get to be as mean and petty as us fans. It's 26 including 3 keepers minimum. If he's making changes he would have already told the players. He's not going to give three days off without knowing where a player is going to be, because they have to make travel arrangements: "Ok Theo you're taking 3 days in Ibiza and hey, you can stay an extra week if you want." Or at least the decision was done by Monday. You also have to tell the club regardless for a new callup. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Players in spots 21-26 including 2 back up keepers, are unlikely to see the field. So 4 outfield players could be swapped without any/much impact to the team. If Marsch wants to take a look at 4 "new" players in training this could help. Besides it was mentioned that there is a 24 hr injury replacement option for Copa. TGAA_Star, Canuckia, Kusch to the Corner and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
