cornerkick reacted to frmr in Jonathan David
Had to watch this with Youtube's auto translated subtitles, but a great interview. What lovely humble young man he is.

cornerkick reacted to Obinna in Jonathan David
TSN has a highlight package of his 3 goals in their website.
David is on 16 goals in all competition. They are out of the domestic cup, but still have Europa Conference League knockouts to play, so two competitions still in which he can up his tally.
In Ligue 1, they are currently 3rd, just ahead of Monaco who've got a game in hand, so Lille are objectively having a solid season. This makes me hopeful they can challenge for the Conference League. Would be awesome for David to wrap up his Lille career with a 3rd trophy, then move on to greener pastures in the summer.

cornerkick reacted to Shway in Next CanMNT manager (Herdman to TFC)
And I'm back on this guys train.
I think what Canada needs is someone who is a good coach, and already knows the Canadian player pool. And by know, I don't mean personally like Larin, Laryea or Buchanan, but knows from watching them because they have a keen interest in Canadian players.
Watching the AFC and seeing how Qatar went from absolute shit in the WC, GC to continental Champion with a manager that has spent the past 6 years in their domestic league.
I'll take some sort of familiarity of the Canadian player over a name brand coach who will come at a cost and less pride.

I know Henry didn't live up to expectations, but this seems like a bit much for me. Biello has a somewhat respectable MLS record and he's a long time assistant, but the man has zero charisma and I cannot see how Beillo can inspire this group. The players are going to have to inspire themselves.
Say what you want about Henry, but he's one of the best forwards of all time and that alone should be inspiring to our best players. It's international football where the tactics don't matter so much. He cannot be a tactical dunce or hurt us with his decisions (a la Biello subs vs Jamaica), but if he can just be average tactically and then light a fire under our best players to perform, maybe the rest takes care of itself.

cornerkick reacted to Unnamed Trialist in Next CanMNT manager (Herdman to TFC)
Henry was in charge at Montreal very early on, right after his playing days, many years ago. Then, just before, he was not overly successful in Ligue 1, they gave him twenty games-- though a lot of classic sides have struggled lately in France, Marseille, Lyon, and his Monaco as well. Perhaps his time with Martínez in Belgium might have been a better learning experience, not be in charge but just support.
He's smart, a bit arrogant (though I think it is a sort of style he has, he is not as haughty as he plays, he was actually humble and discreet at Barça), and certainly has some idea of what playing well and excelling might mean.
If he came in with a sharp assistant, who could crunch the tactics and rivals well, he could work. Biello is a lump, he is just a caretaker. Our guys would go out and win for Henry, no such notion exists with Biello.

I mean, we're at the stage where OneSoccer should just be doing an SPL show as well.

Millar will see more time with the CanMNT in the absence of Hoilett. He'll get his fair share of starts this summer depending on what formation we use.

What's up with only 2 min stoppage at the end? Yeah, I get it, the tie is over but there was a player who needed to be taken off via golf cart in the 2H, and that took at least 5 min.

Forge can take some positives out of these matches for sure, they tested players in bigger roles and really weren't embarrassed in the tie, the late goal just makes the loss that much better!

cornerkick reacted to Obinna in Richmond "Richie" Laryea
I'm telling you guys, if Richie finds his way into the Forest team this season I won't be that surprised. He's underrated, even on this forum.
Not exactly predicting him to be a starter, but can he have a role similar to when they were in the Championship? It's possible. I am cautiously optimistic that he starts getting named to the bench and maybe, just maybe, we see him on the field a handful of times before the season is finished.
In all likelihood he remains a fringe player, but if they had zero intention of using him he wouldn't be listed in that 25.

cornerkick reacted to El Diego in Richmond "Richie" Laryea
It's better than not being included, but Forest named every senior player at the club aside from Harry Arter (who hasn't been registered for a couple years now) so I am not certain it necessarily means much
