Herdman now urging the high press attack. This should be the strategy going forward.
I think Piette has played well.Piette or Jonston may be an issue yeah....that marking and jumping ability hasn't been there.
Canada coming on strong here..Davies really creating.
I would have played Kone over Piette in this one. Offers more energy and technical ability going forward.Piette or Jonston may be an issue yeah....that marking and jumping ability hasn't been there.
Also, you know what you have in Piette. Kone could be a revelation. It is worth a try.I would have played Kone over Piette in this one. Offers more energy and technical ability going forward.
It's a friendly match where you are missing Oso, Hutch, and Kaye is still not fully fit. There is no better time to put Kone in and experiment.I think you have to be weary of playing purely for the result here if we aren’t coming out dominant in the first 15 of the second half. Really might not be the worst idea to test guys like Kone against this opposition
I genuinely think Piette has played fine. He obviously has no physicality but he’s been composed and positionally sound.
I think one thing people don’t realize is Canada has always had these types of turnovers in every game leading up to today. The difference is that when they turn it over, they don’t generally play teams that will produce a quality outlet or be concise in the final third.
It's been a pretty good effort aside from:Another good first ten minutes
Pretty crazy considering all their starting CBs are out injured. But Canada is pressing well.Uruguay is perhaps the toughest opponent Canada has faced in a while.
They have such an organized backline and can really recover well on the counter. Reminds me of Croatia in many respects.
I don't even know if I have ever seen Uruguay play a game; of course I have at some point... but it stands out. It is quite something to watch how structured and positionally supportive they are. Impressive to say the least.Uruguay is perhaps the toughest opponent Canada has faced in a while.
