    Interesting to know if he is training full or just easing through it. He has been omitted by the Canadian NT squad for the upcoming Internationals, with the Canadian manager Jesse marsch citing that AJ is rehabbing a back injury.

    Could just be an excuse to let him have a break, he's played mental amounts of football the past 2/3 years with little time off cause the amount of Canada games. They're only playing 1 friendly against Panama.

    He was * today but we don't win that game without his goal and assist.

    Never hides.

    He disappeared for long periods today. Valle showed him up in terms of staying in the game.

    I think you always get the same from AJ tbh, just the quality isn't always what it should be.

    His through ball was lovely for the goal.

    Was awful today until that ball hit him and went in. Then he played more like himself for the remainder of the game.

    Never hid today, a real warrior of a player, I love him. Without his goal and marvellous assist we lose that game today.

    As noted elsewhere, think the only reason he was playing today was because BR didn't want to have a practically entire new back 4, with CCV and Taylor already out. AJ was not called up by Canada NT for this week, because their manager said he has been nursing a back injury.

    So at best AJ wasn't 100% today and in need of a little break, but to come out of it with the equalizer and the assist for Kuhn will have made it worthwhile. Hopefully will having the next week or two off will help with that getting back to him being his usual self.

    That pass, where Hale almost lobbed Schmeichel in the 2nd.. could have cost us the game..

    He was rotten, assist aside. As bad a game as he's ever had.

    Difference between us and the rest. When our players are * poor, they can still end the game with a goal and an assist to their name.

    He’s carrying some sort of injury. Very slow at the moment and making uncharacteristic mistakes.
