JAVIERF Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 they discussed today about an argentinian coach for CANADIANS in a four shortlist with one from Uruguay ( alonso) atm GARNERO signed for PARAGUAY. Notwithstanding the foregoing i can venture what a 25 panel squad under a southamerican rioplatense would look like, knowing our streetwise and football mindset to slow down the tempo and keep it on the deck attitude, to confuse opposition. My understanding is that a CANADA FOOTBALL TEAM under gareca-alonso-alfaro or gallardo would be something like: Milan Borjan Slovan Bratislava Maxime Crépeau Los Angeles D. St. Clair MLS Minnesota United right back A. Johnston Premiership Celtic Richie Laryea The Whitecaps center backs Liam Fraser FC Dallas L. MacNaughton MLS Nashville SC K. Miller MLS Inter Miami K. Hiebert MLS St. Louis City S. Kennedy Bundesliga Wolfsberger AC left backs Sam Adekugbe MLS The Whitecaps Richie Laryea The Whitecaps<... MIDFIELDERS Stephen Eustáquio PORTO L. Millar Championship Preston North End H. Paton Premiership Motherwell Samuel Piette MLS Montreal CF Jonnie Osorio TORONTO FC J. Shaffelburg MLS Nashville SC A. Davies Bundesliga Bayern Munich Luca Koleosho Premier League Burnley FW T. Corbeanu Super League Grasshoppers J. David Ligue 1 Lille T. Buchanan First Division A Club Brugge C. Larin La Liga Mallorca L. Cavallini Liga MX Tijuana D.

Any of the guys on the board could do that. And it's meaningless since all we have is a friendly coming up and there are injuries and other factors. It's spurious. It's as if you deliberately want to discredit your rumours, which you never give sources for ever by the way. Or it is that you deep down believe you should be our next manager?

Not sure why they didn't let him get started a bit earlier, but I guess his roster is going to look very different in the spring, so there's only so much he can actually learn from this team this season.

I wonder why- TFC is playing a bad NYRB and then an even worse Charlotte team over the next two games and is playing a very good Orlando team to close the season out. You'd think a few games against theoretically beatable teams would be a good way to start his career off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think a few games against theoretically beatable teams would be a good way to start his career off. If there is one thing JH is good at, it is about managing his own brand. There is almost nothing to be gained by coming in and rolling the dice with a team that has been absolutely abysmal. You win? You accomplish nothing in terms of the season, and the win won’t matter one bit come next season because it will be all about those opening games. You lose? You undermine the idea that you are going to right the ship and you give the media fodder for questioning your every decision. If you come in for the last game of the season and things don’t go your way it is just a tiny blip. If he decided to take the helm for the last two or three games and lost all 3 (a very real possibility with a shit team playing for nothing) it would start to cast doubt - in the public and among the players - about his ability to improve things.

This is my thought too. He comes in for the last match just to get his feet wet so that next Spring things aren't completely foreign to him, but if you're Herdman you don't need multiple games to experience what a game day is like, especially when the roster can and probably will be vastly different. And you don't need the stench of multiple losses following you into next season. As always, Herdman is being unconventional, calculated and intelligent. It's what I have grown to love about him.

You'd think a few games against theoretically beatable teams would be a good way to start his career off. Not enough time. Herdman doesn't do his work on the field, he does it in the players minds. He will be meeting with the players individually throughout the off season and build-up their mindset and approach for next year. There is soo much toxicity in the organization - well beyond the locker room - more than any coaching change can fix in 1-2 weeks. The team will feel new by next spring. Hopefully they won't need to teardown BMO to rid themselves of the memories. Edited October 2, 2023 by costarg Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an argie or Uruguayan is hired don't hesitate, those dual lads will abide, don't know the status of Tomori since he played for the English , on Vitoria the guy is over 36 maybe in his last senior year good leader but time is a sword, Realistically a roplatense coach will finalize with younger defenders , and a back 4, that make sense on Fraser as center back, in the near future for international football, oh. Ah. Paul McGrath !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
