I was keen on David at one point and the more and more I watched him play... no thanks.
He doesn't have anything special to his game. He floats. He actually hurts link up a lot. He is horrendous for Canada.
I'd take Rogers from Villa, but they'd never sell.
He looks really polished from a first touch perspective.
I know a lot don't agree, but I do wonder if both him and Estevao lack pace - as I like the super robust and fast wingers, but then again that has failed us recently lol.
That Quenda guy looks immense. Didn't know anything about him or realise how highly touted he is.
Looks an absolute gem. Was he on anyones radar here? Unreal for a player his age.
I wouldn't get rid of Sancho for that.
Our wingers have all been shocking lately, and I'd put it down to tactics more so than anything. For 20 mil total or whatever it was, Sancho is definitely worth it as an impact player.
We're toothless.
Can someone with more tactical nuance and understanding of the game explain to me why we look so empty in midfield and teams bypass us?
Also why do we always look like we're defending even with the ball? We just get pushed back passing side to side between the defenders. There isn't a single pass through the middle to draw players to the ball.
Team is lazy. No one is bothering to get into passing lanes for teammates and create angles for passes. Then somehow they are also out of position defensively.
Mentality problem. Bunch of young guys with no leader who don't want to work hard.
If Caicedo is going to be on an island by himself surrounded by 4 opposition players, we are wasting our $100 mil midfielders.
Everything is slow and there is no link up. Either get better defenders who step up into the midfield to help or play with 3 in the middle.
