Episode 168 – The AFTN Soccer Podcast (The State of the Whitecaps 2016 with special guest Carl Robinson)
2016 has been a pretty shitty year all round. From a Vancouver Whitecaps perspective, it hasn’t been on of their best, but that’s all in the past now and we just need to look forward to the better times ahead.
But not without our fourth annual State of the Whitecaps end of season chat with ‘Caps coach Carl Robinson (begins at 37:16 mark).
In our latest one on one with Robbo we look at just what went wrong this season past, what’s he’s learned, what needs to be done to make this team better, and a look at the players moving on and those possibly coming in. We chat referees, Fabian Espindola, Seattle’s MLS Cup success, those rumours linking him with the Swansea City job, and a lot more.
Round about our chat with Carl, AFTN writer Jay Duke and Curva Collective’s Zachary Adam Meisenheimer join Michael and Steve to look at some of the main talking points so far this offseason in Whitecapsland and discuss what Robbo had to say.
There’s a lot of talk to be had, so have a listen.

Or after all that, you could just listen on the player below!
Robinson listing the “young players” he wants to get playing time for and not block the development path of: not a single residency player mentioned. Thought that was a bit interesting.
