CNL: Canada vs Jamaica - Tuesday, November 21st - 7:30pm EST / 4:30pm Pacific - Toronto

Think this has to be the end of the road for:

 

Kaye

Borjan

vitoria 

piette 

 

appreciate Milan but let the new guard come in. 
 

Im not opposed to calling it a day for Hoilett and Oso.

 

Ali and Millar bring more creative ideas.

Anyone know how they determine match ups for the repechage in Frisco, TX in March?

Lol come on.

Borjan’s half-second juggle had nothing to do with Eustaquio’s horrendous giveaway, the iffy penalty and Kone’s giveaway. First goal should have been saved? All he could do was stick a leg out and hope he got lucky. Let’s be real - Borjan wasn’t a problem tonight 

It's called poking the bear.  Well known phrase in all sports and life in general.  It was the turning point.  THE EXACT TURNING POINT.  This is classic Borjan, he is good, entertaining and passionate, but so many mental errors.

I can't blame Biello other than the latter subs. The players second half should be to blame for the utter disappointment.

Someone said if Mexico wins, we get Trinidad. If Honduras wins, we get Costa Rica.

Away goals is also a stupid rule

I thought a bunch of things were all over the place about the format.

Europe doesn't use away goals.?

Using a point system after a two legged tie to determine seeding?

[Borjans Sweatpants]

I’m not too worried about LDF tbh. It’s a tough loss but I think he’s having great experiences and enjoying being part of the team personally.

When Millar is near the ball you just know absolutely nothing dangerous will come of it.

You’re a clown. Did u see the ball he crossed into David head? 

[Jack1997]

This game completely reassures my fear of this program falling to shit again and got lucky with a good coach and a few generational talents. It’s not gonna be fun when In a 6 years Oliveri is our coach and all our star players retire at 28

[Cadeau]

At least Borjan talked like a captain. Biello must go, there was no game plan. Im so pissed, Im 1990s pissed

guess that depends on how much you think the coach is able to do any calming/directing/focusing of the players. herdman often did the borjan injury timeout to regroup the guys

It should’ve just gone to extra time after it’s tied in my opinion, not confident we would’ve won but I still think it’s a stupid rule

[scullion44]

So basically the playoffs being seeded is complete guess work and hasn’t officially been confirmed anywhere?

[The Beaver 2.0]

Hard to say how much one can blame the interim coach specifically, but in general interims are interims for a reason (or two). 

All I know is that we need to find a coach who can teach this relatively talented, relatively young group how to play cohesive, disciplined international football.

I'm gonna say it out loud, but I am SOO frustrated with Davies. Yeah, he's double and triple-teamed, but he does not use that to full advantage. Holds the ball far too long, dribbles into trouble, tries to be the hero. He'd score a lot more goals if he passed the damn ball and moved into space.

I thought he laid the ball off to Davies to go 1-v-2 too often, but otherwise he was sharp and lively. On a different day David finishes the chance. C'est la vie.

(With sadness) Go Mexico!

[Ally McCoist]

Fuck Biello. I hope his sorry ass doesn't get anywhere near this team again. Disgrace of a coach.

It’s sad because we had ideas in the first half but we’re over reliant on Davies and teams figured that out. We are so much better than this and we should beat this Jamaica team, but we can’t break down the opposition. 

We have won big games without Davies in the game. Now, he is a one trick pony who is double or tripled teamed every time. Plus, as you all say, he is terrible on dead balls. Try him at fullback and play a proper game up front - no ball hogging.

[Cadeau]

Davies left it all out there I find. 100% effort maybe not always efficient but not TIMID like everyone else!

[Jack1997]

To me the biggest concern is not that we lost because technically we tied a team that is arguably more talented than us. It’s the collapse that scares me.

[The Beaver 2.0]

Also: why do I keep doing this to myself? I am 51 for fuck's sake.

Rarely do I open a beer at the 87th minute, but this game is special.

It was whiskey for me, every crazy call or miss was another pour.  Tomorrow will hurt.

[GasPed]

Guys, let's face it - this game was just about two critical mistakes by our midfielders.  That's it.  Biello, Borjan, subs, whatever - the fact is, Kone and Staq don't cough up the ball, we win the game.  It's that simple.

Piette didn't play during either leg and Vitória didn't play tonight. Might as well call for Kennedy and Liam Fraser to retire.
