2013 Vancouver Whitecaps Thread

[PG Canuck]

Rusin could be out for awhile - ankles don't bend that way.

 

[Canucks LB]

Could be a sprain

 

[Canucks LB]

Rennie would make a good drill instructor lol

 

[Canucks LB]

Reo-C is basically kevin bieksa.

So many awful plays, and a few really good ones.

Frustrating player

 

[Canucks LB]

This ref is the new toledo

 

[Canucks LB]

Manneh has some of the worst first touches i have ever seen

 

[Canucks LB]

This is a sloppy ass game.

btw 1 man gdt up in here

 

[Canucks LB]

#whitecapsfc's Brad Rusin left the match with a Sprained right ankle according to the club.

called it

 

[gurfling]

What a fun game.

Not sure why Watson got a card when he clearly got ball 1st.

Manneh can be frustrating, your right, he has a poor first touch, but he does look dangerous. I would way rather have him out there than Hertzog.

You've got quite a ways to go before reaching the level of that Wild GDT.

Fugly half of soccer.

Whitecaps are working their ***** off, battling for every ball, and holding a good defensive shape to limit Portland's chances ... but wow, is their passing bloody atrocious tonight. No execution whatsoever.

Edit - a$$ is censored here now? Seriously?

Harvey rewarded for a good game.

 

[Canucks LB]

I said it once, and I will say it again.

Harvey has been not only our most consistent player this year, but the most under appreciated.

Career year for him

 

[Ball4Lyfe]

Holy crap we scored off a corner.

Under appreciated maybe but I wouldn't say he's the most consistent. He's had his share of poor games.

 

[Canucks LB]

GREAT road point, in a WILD building
Without mattocks
Miller
and koffie.

 

[StringerBell]

Well, it wasn't pretty but it sure was fun. Well earned point.

 

[Canucks LB]

8 points separates 1st to 8th in #MLS Western Conference.

Crazy

Ousted looked more or less indistinguishable from Knighton for me — ball distribution is supposed to be a strength of his, and it looked pretty much the same as always, I thought. Does call into question the cap allocation here again, given how thin the team has become on the back four after inexplicably dealing Rochat.

And on that front, Rusin going down is another big blow to that back line. It's like Canuck defenders — even if you're #8 on the depth chart, you're going to see a lot of minutes on this team, it seems. Really wish they had some more options. Are we going to see Reo-Coker as a back, and more of everyone's favorite holding midfielder in JMD? DeMerit and O'Brien are both due back soon, but no matter when, you're always afraid of overplaying guys like that.

Gutsy to pull out the point tonight, but I'm definitely a bit worried moving forward.

 

[Canucks LB]

Didn't we get ousted before knighton went all HAM.

 

[Saturated Fats]

Our back four is gonna look pretty greasy with Rusin out until AoB and/or Demerit returns. YP is an anchor but Leveron, Watson and Mitchell hardly inspire confidence.

Can you imagine what this team would look like fully healthy?

Fairly poor play from both sides in the first half. I'm equally impressed with Miller's ability to push the tempo as I am with his ability to completely kill momentum with dumb turnovers.

This game is ripe for the taking with strong second half.
