GasPed Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Should also point out that Sang Bin Jeong is actually the 5th fastest player in MLS. Against many other forwards, Bombito's recovery pace would actually make him look like a hero on those plays as he races back and breaks things up. Instead, he (rightfully) is punished. narduch, Shway, WestHamCanadianinOxford and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 After expressing my suspicions personally with Neil deGrasse Tyson, he's confirmed that Bombito's MLS speed record would not have been made if he hadn't been at altitude in Colorado. jhoops__, The Real Marc, InglewoodJack and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Bombito does have speed which I will give him that he does and that is why I want him in our starting 11 at Copa CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After consultation with Groundskeeper Willie, I’ve been informed that when comparing the speed of various footballers, the condition of the pitch could be a greater factor than the density of the atmosphere.

Stryker911 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 From MLS.com "Moise Bombito - Colorado Rapids Bombito has probably been the league's best center back this season. His recovery speed is elite; he’s very hard to get away from and puts out fires. He’s strong on set pieces, aggressive in the air and dangerous in the box. He’s got a bright, bright future for club and country." Corazon, Borjans Sweatpants, ECW and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GasPed Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 1 hour ago, red card said: That's just poor defending. 1) Anderson at RB playing way too deep, played his man and Bassi onside, when he could see his entire line was ahead of him by 2 yards; 2) Bombito has to make a play on the ball, even if he's risking an own goal because he knows his man behind him is open. I'm not sure if he reacted too late to the cross or just didn't want to risk touching it, but either way, not a good play.

TBH I thought he probably should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 It looks like Bombito was trying to play the guy offside- probably not a savvy play so close to the net. Bombito definitely got beat, but their DM- #20 fell asleep on his man there and thinned out the backline. Pretty sure this is the stuff that Rapids coach said they want to work on- don’t they call him Mr. fundamentals or something because they have him working on the absolute basics since his natural skill is elite, it’s the little things that he has trouble with?

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) 14 hours ago, red card said: To me it's just a classic case of watching the ball and leaving your man the freedom of the box. Maybe he thought he could affect the cross but I think he lost track of how far away the attacker was. His reaction would indicate to me he knew he messed up. A lot of people could have done better but that is mostly on him in the end. Again we know he is still inexperienced and with make the wrong decision a fair bit. But those are things he can learn.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 31 minutes ago, Ed_S said: Surprised he didn't start lol.. Being realistic, they have been poor defensively as of late. (11 goals against in the previous 3 games, even with "only" 2 against Vancouver, that's still over an average of over 3 goals a game given up in the last 4.) Sometimes you make changes. And he is an inexperience player still. Poor defending again (though away from Bombito) on the Whitecaps winner last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerpro2 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 People need to pump the breaks. He's nowhere the finished product ready for a step up. European clubs don't sign foreign CB's for "potential". He's done some good things this year but if you've regularly watched him in MLS, he has a lot of work to do on his positioning and awareness.

Agreed, but I find that strong performances in big time events tend to stoke interest beyond what the player continues to do at club level. Conversely, not showing well deflates the tires on the hype wagon pretty quickly, sometimes overly so. He is still a work in progress, for sure, but that's the nature of how things work.

Neither was Kone. Most teams are looking for that diamond in the rough that'll make them million$. If he was the finished product he wouldn't still be playing in MLS. CB's normally develop later than other positions. Lots of teams will be knocking on the door. He won't hit the same level he can if he stays in MLS, EU will develop him to the next level.
