Yes. This also. Chanot really did not have a good game.
Didn’t he collide with a teammate in the middle of the field and middle of the match? Somebody did and looked like they took a forearm to the head. Concussed?
He’s quietly been shit for over a year now.
Are we taking about Chanot?
I disagree that he’s been shit. He hasn’t been consistent. One great game followed by a mediocre one.
Great moments and terrible in the same game even. Despite the mistakes, he made some really great recoveries against LA.
He is definitely overrated by the fans. But from the looks of it, doesn't look like he's going anywhere
Did you see the CBs that came before him?
Yeah, I am in no way saying he's bad. He's actually pretty consistent and doesn't mess up horribly with a regularity. I am saying that with every other position improving over the years Chanot does not have the same upside many players on this roster do*. I also think with the pass first offense we have going here Chanot's limitations have been brought to the forefront more than before.
When he first came onto this team, I was ecstatic because I couldn't handle having to watch Brillant be the "good CB" in a defense.
*= of starting quality
When he came to the team, he was also touted as having the ability to distribute and carry the ball, which he can do, but has definitely been eclipsed by Callens.
Also don’t disagree with anything you said, but keep in mind that good CBs in MLS, especially ones with the ability to pass/carry (if allowed), are hard to come by especially as the 2nd CB. His limitations have been exposed, but most teams would pay dearly for a 2nd CB of his quality.
And we still don’t know what personal issues occupied his time last year - that was when his dip started - maybe he’s coping with whatever it is, but it’s enough to take him off the top of his game.
I mean, you’re right. But when you’re a center back, being inconsistent is worse than being shit. And he’s been wildly inconsistent.
I've been wondering if we might see Ibeagha.
With all the discussion about who drops for Héber, I wonder if it's maybe Chanot - Héber drops Maxi who drops Ring who drops Sands who drops Chanot to the bench.
Medina drops, Duh...
Maybe it's our mystery summer DP signing who drops him...
That’s fair
To be more specific, he’s great except when he’s not, and then he looks like he’s never played before. Reminds me of big dog Degsy, except Chanot has one meltdown per match instead of one every 2-3 months. Same principle.
