K1nG posted an interesting post (only to be all-too-quickly closed by a moderator) which read:

In my opinion Toronto FC needs to play a new system. Im getting tired of watching midfielders passing back to the defenders and then booting the ball up to the forwards for a success rate of 1 in 10. I think we need to start playing a possesion style of play in order to progress as a club.
Do you think that Mo and JC should go in order to bring in a management team that could focus on staying away from the British styles long ball system?"
Personally, I don't necessarily agree with all that is said above (e.g., firing Mo or Carvs at this point, or that TFC currently plays a "British style," or even that the British now play a "British style"), but for a moderator to cut this interesting discussion off so early not acceptable (nor is the moderator's reference to other threads that didn't even come close to addressing K1nG's post). So here's hoping this board could engage in a serious tactical discussion based on King's original post: Long Ball vs Possession.
In this regard, I think you need both. You can't have the tic without the tac.
