OT: Montreal Impact Thread LVII - Nacho & Euro Edition

[Skip Bayless]

Venegas with Costa Rica and Venegas with us a total mind ****. That's the guy we signed.

So what do we do with Venegas? Striker with Drogba?

That or as a 10. Anyway, both him and Drogba drop back at times so we won't have a hole in the midfield in that formation.

I hope they give him more playing time.

Cabrera just posted a short video on instagram on a cookout with Piatti and some other guys. Nacho has his whole left hand bandaged :/

A 4-4-1-1 formation could do wonders imo.

We just need everyone healthy and a CM that can cover a lot of space to play with Donadel.

Shows the level of difficulty of MLS. Good news (for us) is that he can play this Saturday.

I disagree, I think the level of play in copa america is higher than the MLS. I rarely see the pass Venegas received on his goal in the MLS. That said, it's more of a question of fitting in the MLS style for Venegas.

Disagree with what ? I didn't say MLS' level is higher than Copa America. I wasn't making a comparaison, just saying that the level of difficulty here is clearly significant. Anyway it's impossible to compare international tournaments to domestic league.

It's difficult for Venegas to integrate in a team that moves the ball slowly and doesn't react to one twos. Many times he gives and runs expecting to get it back and the other dude just takes his sweet time.

What is Reo-Coker up to these days anyway?

 

[JunglePete]

NRC was good from September, don't understand why we let him go.

Real question is what is Duka up to these days?

I would prefer a 4-2-3-1 - Piatti is not as useful in coverage- he needs to play closer to the net.

Bush
Oyongo-Cabrera-Ciman-Toia
Donadel-Alexander
Ontiveros-Venegas-Piatti
Drogba

The issue with this formation is whether the two holding midfielders can cover enough ground.

[adudeonaforum]

Keep in mind Celso Borges was having a hell of a game too, and we have no midfielders of his quality who service the ball. Thats what we need to get asap.

I like the idea of playing Venegas up front with Drogba. Didier has the skill to make Venegas shine.

edit: good for Ciman, he has what it takes to do well at rb

 

[Dwight]

Would definitely love to see Ciman starting with Belgium. They're my #2 team behind England (and will likely move to #1 once England inevitably blows it)

 

[adudeonaforum]

My team in Europe, Ireland, can beat Sweden with the lineup they're playing right now. Keep an eye on Coleman and Hoolahan.

Good call on Hoolahan

Come on Ireland!

I despise him as well. Can't stand that egomaniac.

 

[peate]

Was that Irish player drunk or something?

That was a terrible own goal

Irish people are perma-drunk.
