g_bassi13 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The way our forwards stand without Miller is that we have a core of young wildcards with sporadic performances. Bringing in a veteran to anchor things would be great. I hope they're looking at a DP during the transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Solid game by the Whitecaps for the large part, but it feels more like Columbus lost this one rather than the Whitecaps won it. It could have been an insane rout if the Whitecaps finished on a margin of their wide open chances. Was about as frustrating to watch as a clean shut-out win could possibly be, lol. Felt really bad for Salgado when he just missed on his break away chance, but I'm sure he's happy to even be out there at this point. I know I would like to see more of him, so I hope they extend that opportunity past this road trip. It's not like they have many bodies to even go around at this point. Hurtado this season has been so much better than he was last year. Last year, the only positive I had to share about him was that he was fast. Now he's carrying the ball, and generating chances well. He needs more confidence in his finishing (meaning he needs to stop hesitating at taking the shot when he first can), but I'm sure this first goal will help. Having Laba and Koffie anchor the mid is great. Especially Laba. The guy is a work horse, and a beast. All in all, I have a lot of good things to say about a lot of players at this point. Things are not looking too bad. As long as the offence doesn't dry up with all the inconsistencies at hand, the team should be able to keep this run going.

euphoria/ Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 An amazing strike from Hurtado, although I thought Salgado showed enough skill against Toronto to deserve the start. I really like the defensive-mid pairing of Laba and Koffie, they played a key role in shutting out a dangerous Crew attack. Not a particulalry fantastic game, obviously not a game for the ages, but three points is three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a young team. And I think (hope) they're going to learn. And if/when they do they are going to obliterate some teams. I really think there's a lot of scoring potential on the team. As far as Hurtado goes, I thought one of the tv announcers nailed it: he always looks like he's out of control. But again, with game experience, I think he can put it together and he should be fun to watch. That goal he scored was a beauty - that little back kick to himself then POW! I would also like to see more of Salgado. Yet another young player with lots of potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horny Manatee Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I've long thought that once Hurtado gets his first goal that many will follow. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucks3322 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I was surprised how many chances we missed but getting the points is key, but I hope Salgado scores after all his injuries I hope he buries one next time he starts, he should be the starting forward against TFC this wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The Whitecaps are still going to field a youth movement against Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think games like this really showcase our need for a proven striker. We get a multitude of chances but very few of them go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) The home-and-away is tied 3-3 on aggregate with the away goals tied too so there'll be a halfhour not-sudden death overtime. Edited May 15, 2014 by Where's Wellwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
