Laryea in particular is a big loss. Adekugbe we had already come to terms with. Big chance for some guys to step up, though. Ahmed immediately comes to mind, as does Bombito, but who else? I don't think we bring Abzi, but with two fullbacks out this is the best opportunity for him in a while. Maybe we bring Zator? ZBG hasn't yet found a club and Godihno nor Heibert seem to be in the picture. So yeah, I expect Ahmed and Bombito will be the cover for the full back spots, even though Ahmed is probably a midfielder for Canada and Bombito a CB.

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The defence is interesting to me. No real left back. And no McGraw. So a three with Miller Cornelius and Johnston Or Bombito in the middle? Pushing Miller out or on the right? How do we do a back 4?

Shway Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) This will be the starting..... However I could see Biello putitng Bombito in the Piette holding role. The backline could be any of these combinations. Edited March 12 by Shway Nello 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 What can I say? Dream squad, basically. I lauded the benefit of Vitoria, but happy to see him left off. Very happy to live and die with our youth. Same goes for Cavallini, Borjan and even Hoilett, who I still value but not complaining about his omission. Next oldest guys are Oso and Piette, don't mind either here. Obviously over the moon about Bair and Ugbo. Love how they played their way on. Congrats to them both. LDF is clearly committed. I hope he can earn some minutes. Choniere, Schaffelburg and SIROIS! Massive. Speaking of Massive (Columbus pun) I see JRR there. The fact he seems to be in the mix for starts in 2024 makes it feel like his call is more justified as opposed to coming as injury cover. Finally, I really like the Waterman recall, but a bit disappointed for MacNaughton and (to a lesser extent) McGraw. In reality we are only calling 1 of those 3 for any given selection, so I am fine that Waterman was who they went with. Hopefully the others get a look as they continute to shine in MLS.

Obinna Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I see no Ahmed. Too soon given his injury return was like a weak ago. I would have thought he'd be a shoe-in given the absence of Laryea and Adekugbe. vancanman, clamlinguine, Goal_Kick and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbacons Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Must be a 3-5-2 for this one. We are light on fullbacks without Sam and Richie. I could see a Miller - Cornelius - Bombito backline with Alphonso and Tajon as the wingbacks. 5 forwards is maybe too much. Why not Ahmed instead of JRR?

MauditYvon Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I know it's a 23 men roster, and you have to cut somewhere, but a bit disappointed for : Corbeanu, Ahmed and Nelson. Oh, we forgot Brym.
