View Full Version : Mo Johnston "promises to address all issues tomorrow".

This was from the first article in the TFC news section as reported in the Sun.

"Johnston has come under attack for not delivering some help in the backfield -- now underlined by injuries to Brennan and Marvell Wynne's just announced extended absence with the U.S. national team -- and for Chad Barrett's poor showing at striker. Johnston declined comment, promising to address all issues tomorrow".

I assume this will be at a press conference.
Please, please, please for the reporters who will be there ask the question that we all want to hear about.
Are we planning on doing something about the dire need for a CB and a goal scorer ?.
Everyone from Carver to Cummins as stated this at some time yet we do not appear to see any action.
Are they planning on waiting to see what White will do first ?.
I for one just want to know what their plans are, if they plan on not signing anyone this year then just put us out of our misery and tell us.
I know there are a number of other issues that need addressing too but for me this is the main issue at present that could make or break our play-off chances.

What's with this "dire need" for a CB?

By all accounts to anyone whose watched the games this year Attakora is probably our top D-man as of now (arguably better than Serioux)...
We need 1 backup CB, since Velez no longer is field worthy.
Possibly 2 if Nana is out for extended period of time,

All we need to do right now (in order):
1 - Get rid of Barrett + his ridiculous contract
2 - Trade one of the 2 extra keepers we are holding
3 - Trade/Release Ricketts, Vitti, Johan

If you don't think we have a problem at defense then I have to question whether we support the same TFC team. Is there another TFC team I don't know about that doesn't have a guy named Velez starting almost every game?

HAhahah dude, are you this ridiculous... you didn't even read the post!!!

I never said Velez was a starting CB, our starting 2 is Nana + Serioux.

Do you watch the games?
...You realize Nana's just out with injury (concussion), and Velez is only a replacement off the bench....

Hence, the need for a BACKUP CB...

the "dire need" is not a CB... It's a Striker,

Our defensive problems have either come from Brennan, Serioux, or Velez + Harmse (whenever they fill in)

Serioux's problems only seem to appear in games whenever he's "grimmacing" on the field, which seems to be quite frequent... So maybe he's been playing this yr through a injury

To me if they had any grey matter they would mail a package to each member of the supporters with tickets to both friendlies and a scarf and send them official TFC streamers, with a promise to pipe the chanting through the speakers system.

Kathyrn Humphries on the side line in a cheer leader's outfit and a microphone instead of Brender Eerveng.

But I agree, bye bye Chad, bye bye Marco, and say hello to someone else. Change is needed.

Sorry man, but I have to disagree. Being a defencman myself, watching that backline play is embarrassing.

We don't have a proper CB in our back line. Yes, Serioux is a good player, but he has no leadership back there. We need someone with Serioux's intensity, but also someone who can organize the backline better as well as the midfielders who track back to support them.

This is why whenever the opposing team floods our end, we look like a bunch school kids chasing after ball at recess. there is no one back there who controls the show.

Our defence IS bad. Serioux has been great, player of the season so far for me.
Still, it's bad back there.
I think we have a strong midfield and nothing up front.
I think Vitti should be gone, along with his 200k salary. Barrett is suffering from a lack of confidence. If O'Brien White isn't ready, then we need another Striker, for this season.
We need help.
We have been told we are getting a DP....we have been told too many things. I don't believe a word of this stuff anymore......
We'll get fed a pile of bollocks tomorrow by Mo. Whatever.
Just get it done, Mo.

I'm not saying it's good,
I'm saying there are problems, but most occur due to (in this order):
#1 - Replacement clowns - Velez + Harmse - not knowing what the heck to do
#2 - Serioux "bothered by injury"
#3 - Jimmy B, not being a true defender, and screwing things up on his side...

The "leadership" is just a cop-out excuse IMO... Just because it's not vocal doesn't mean theres no leadership there.

Watch the problems, and whenever we break down, one of those 3 things have happened (most frequently #1)

...Also, It can be argued that Nana (right now) is better than Serioux,

So if you view Serioux as a starter, then we already have 2 starters.

Definately not a "dire" need,

"dire need" = scoring.....
Defending = "need" (no "dire" before it),
...and that need would be to fix our Bench/replacement defenders (Velez + harmse).... Since we frequently are missing defenders and are forced to use these two

Agreed. Serioux is tough on the ball when tackling...but his positioning is off, he looks like he's half assing it sometimes with his distribution....and he's good for a bombscare a game. It's essentially the same as putting Robbo back there in the first place - which we may have been better suited to do if we could've predicted Cronin would be so on form. We need someone to "anchor" the back line.

We've lost 3-0, 2-0 and 2-1 in the past 3 games.
That's 7 goals against and 1 goal for

You're saying that scoring is a dire need but defence isn't???
They are both dire needs and go hand in hand with each other in winning games.

In order to win that game against Houston we would've had to score 4 goals...do you think 1 new striker will score 4 goals for us in a game?
Wouldn't that new striker have a better chance of helping the team if the Defence only let in 1 goal meaning he'd only have to score twice?

We tied DC 3-3 a few weeks back. The defence let in 3 damn goals, again!!!
We lost to Dallas 3-2 a week prior. again 3 goals let in.

We've lost games because of the amount of goals being scored against us as well as not being able to put them in.

Our D as a whole is not good my friend. We have a dire need for a CB as much as there is a dire need for a striker

No they are not.
Offense is the real problem. If you recall we also beat Van and Mtl 1-0 each but still out of the Cdn Championship. Now you can't get any better then zero against. But goals for is fucking us. We need to put the fucker in the old onion bag.
Also, if we had a better offense (hint DP striker), it would keep the other team more honest. Let's face it, opposition knows we can't score worht shit, so they play us accordingly. This means their defensive mindset is not to play us too defensivley and are given the go ahead to attack more freely causing more pressure on our defense. Having a DP forward would help in possesion also - can't get scored upon if the ball is on the other end of the field.
As for those couple of games where TFC gave up 3 goals in each game .. did you check the golkeeping in those? It was a little suspect on a few of those.

I suspect this will be "we have a couple of players coming in" but nothing more specific, because he wants the fans talking about that.

Unfortunately, neither will be the striker we need, although he may drop a hint that we're addressing our concerns "at forward" or something like that, which again probably means oft-injured winger Jamie Smith.

Same can be said for the offence.
We've scored 3 against KC, against DC, and New England.
3 goals a game means we know how to score and we've done it three times. fuck it we don't need strikers! <-- sarcasm

we suck at both ends. We've let in more goals than we've scored. Which ever way you look at it we need help at both ends. plain and simple. One isn't more important than the other. We need both. plain and simple.

If our D is unorganized, how will the strikers ever get the ball? does the goal just not pass the to the defence and hope that an air ball gets to a midfielder who can pass to the strikers?

We need both, not one, BOTH

The intent of the comment: “Johnston has come under attack for not delivering some help in the backfield -- now underlined by injuries to Brennan and Marvell Wynne's just announced extended absence with the U.S. national team -- and for Chad Barrett's poor showing at striker. Johnston declined comment, promising to address all issues tomorrow.”

This just in.....Apparently, "...on Thursday Mo and Tom Anselmi will meet the media to discuss the Real Madrid story. I don't believe a player related announcement is part of that."

Mo considers himself too important to hold a presser to address supporter/media concerns.
Players leaving don't get anymore than a press release.

He says that he'll address all issues tomorrow.
Maybe that means he'll be announcing a couple of aquisitions, and reveal plans to bring in grass with expansion next year.

I would think that the Expansion/Grass announcement would come from Paul or Tom Anselmi, not Mo. Since it was Mo that suggested the Edu cash could be used for grass, it could be Mo.

We've scored 3 against KC, against DC, and New England.
3 goals a game means we know how to score and we've done it three times. fuck it we don't need strikers! <-- sarcasm

we suck at both ends. We've let in more goals than we've scored. Which ever way you look at it we need help at both ends. plain and simple. One isn't more important than the other. We need both. plain and simple.

If our D is unorganized, how will the strikers ever get the ball? does the goal just not pass the to the defence and hope that an air ball gets to a midfielder who can pass to the strikers?

We need both, not one, BOTH

And a defence that can pass the ball to the midfield. It's shocking how often the midfield gets bypassed by the defence just hoofing the ball.

Yes we need help on both ends, but the pressing need - by far is the offense.
You mention the games we scored 3 goals a game, but those games we had goals scored by our midfield. Our biggest goals scorers are our midfielders. Heck our CB is tied with goals scored with our leading striker!!!

When we go down a goal, no matter how early, I always get a sinking feeling. I have this knot tearing at me that more than likely the games is lost. There is no confidence that we will get it back, but that 'hopefully' we can scrap a goal in. yeah we give up a goal or 2, but who cares if we can win 2-1 or 3-1?

MOJO has been totally useless since the beginning of the season. We are nearly halfway and we have played with a 23 man roster (actually 22, if you consider the underage Gambian kid who can only start in August or close thereto).

That MOJO has brought in no reinforcements is now becoming a real thorny problem because: a) the team is not winning; b) it is letting in too many goals; and c) injuries and international call-ups which further deplete the roster. Add to this the deadweight we have been carrying (Harmse, Velez, Barrett, and Vitti are probably the worst), and the recipe for disaster is all too great.

If his apparent fury wasn't enhanced by the bottle, then maybe I wasn't harsh enough. The zero credibility applies to the qoted comments only, and does not refer to anything the man has contributed in the past.
Are you suggesting it is correct behaviour to slander people who are willing to wait and see what Mo does in the next 48 hours by suggesting they are the same group(I don't know anyone who's happy about the pricing) who are apparently pleased with the money they will have to lay out if they want to see Real Madrid play TFC, or are you just looking for an opportunity to take a shot at me?

I won't reveal my source. So you may choose to believe this or not.

The intent of the comment: “Johnston has come under attack for not delivering some help in the backfield -- now underlined by injuries to Brennan and Marvell Wynne's just announced extended absence with the U.S. national team -- and for Chad Barrett's poor showing at striker. Johnston declined comment, promising to address all issues tomorrow.”

This just in.....Apparently, "...on Thursday Mo and Tom Anselmi will meet the media to discuss the Real Madrid story. I don't believe a player related announcement is part of that."

So there wil be nothing announced today (or tomorrow)

Skeptics 1 Optimists 0
I got an e-mail from Lance Hornsby of the Sun who wrote the said article. He backs up what Domin8r says, it is on Thursday, and according to Lance it is not an official press conference and he does not know what Mo is going to talk about. Who knows what this means now.

Pointless.

May be pointless but I bet that is what the focus is going to be on. They need to sell tickets and try to show everyone how big of a club TFC is as they were able to attract such a big team (brand association). This "event" is crap but I am sure they are going to have to rely on RM fans to buy up the tickets as they know that the majority of TFC supporters no longer have sucker written across their foreheads.

jloome
06-09-2009, 01:36 PM
It's fairly obvious the team is trying to 'spin' the negative pressure from the Red Patch Boys in general.

First, they contact the other supporter group to sympathetically crow that it's overblown.

Then, after the game, they put out word to the press that the protest was about the Real Madrid game (go back and read the stories), taking the focus off the fact that the friendly was a minor consideration compared to the ongoing front-office performance.

Now they've managed to frame the debate as being about expensive tickets, not ongoing problems.

If I'm right (and I probably am, I've handled communications people for a good chunk of my career) they'll speak about little else at the presser than madrid, although they may throw in a token comment on Jamie Smith or other signings at the end just so they can argue that it wasn't solely about Real Madrid.

Voila, within four days, they've managed to diffuse -- amongst the press, which is what they mostly care about -- the suggestion that hundreds or thousands of fans protested their management of the team.

Hey guys I just spoke to Mo and Paul here is the list of topics for tomorrow's press conference:
1. There was a typo in the Real Madrid pricing, its actually $75-125
2. The grass for the Real Madrid game is actually permanent and is being put in today, they just wanted to surprise us
3. Mo's just signed Sol Campbell and Rob Friend, he got them for $400k each
4. They are in the final stages of negotiations with Ruud Van Nistelrooy who will become our new DP
5. Mo is also going to apologize for the Canadian Championship and to make things up to us he's convinced front office to put a freeze on ticket prices for 5 years

I wonder how many people will accidentally show up with a Wed 24th ticket on Sat night and how the ticket takers will deal with them? Paul's long week could be getting longer if people don't get in Sat night with the wrong ticket... or is it just me that found picking out the next ticket confusing?

Theres a law Canada is considdering putting in, as is most of the rest of the world because this has become such a problem. In this day and age an appology for something is the same as admitting responsibility. In the cases it needs to be changed, its in the case of Doctors (say if they were to admit they made a mistake, they'd be sued for it. Thats why dr's cant ever appologize. For anything. You get bad advise, instead of a "I'm sorry, I thought your symptoms were x, really they were x and y. No big deal, but it was my fault", you get "I've never seen that before!").

To me, this is similar. Paul doesn't want to be blamed for everything, so he can't appologize or show any understanding of why we'd be upset. Because to most people, that'd be viewed the same as an admission of guilt, that we're all right and that MLSE is wrong/made mistakes. If he admits MLSE is wrong (which an appology would be), he's out of a job. How about instead of some appology some HR guy wrote, we just get some better players and a GM? Thats a good enough appology for me

Edit: Looks like he's started writing that appology lol /\/\

Garcia has had a sub par season this year with the quakes but I guess he should be step up from Velez or Harmse.

http://www.centerlinesoccer.com/http:/www.centerlinesoccer.com/garcia-traded-to-toronto/

Center Line Soccer has learned that Earthquakes defender Nick Garcia has been dealt to Toronto FC. Initial reports from league sources indicate that the former Kansas City Wizard is being traded along with the MLS Discovery Rights to Canada international Ali Gerba for a 2010 third-round draft pick.

The trade may appear to be one sided but the biggest benefit to the Earthquakes may be shedding Garcia’s salary, reported by the MLS Players Union to be nearly $200,000 in guaranteed compensation.

Mo was obviously referring to the immenant announcement of the signing of Nicky Garcia, the aquistion of Ali Gerba's signing rights, and the release of Sutton. The signing of J Smith hasn't been announced, but that may be coming as well.

I shall try to remain cautiously optimistic about tomorrow's Mo Jo press conference. Maybe something good will come out of it. On the other hand, I'd much rather see Mo Jo sacked.

i can't wait to hear the bs later today.
maybe he will say that jaimie smith is the best left footed player in scotland,but he his signing with SJ because his wife has a aunt there.
he also will say we dont need a dp because we have OB WHITE coming in,
and another mo quote we are building something special here.

So Mo plans on addressing ALL issues tomorrow? Well, there's quite a few of them, many of which are vital to our club's overall success.

The top three I can think of at the moment are the need to install a grass pitch to keep our players happy, the need to get rid of Barrett and bring in a league-killing target man, and the need to reorganize the back four and bring in a quality centre back.

Would be nice if all those points were addressed, but I'm not holding my breath.

what i woud love to see Mo address/comment on:

1) getting a striker...hes seems to be working on fixing the back..now the front

2)DP? has there been any real attempt to get one? and did that attempt fail because of the field turf issue?

3) Take the interm tag away from Cummins and give him another season


Oh yeah MO open tha gates 90 mins before ko!!

Really? I'm not sure about Cummins yet but why and how could you even justify that right now? It's not like TFC has shot to the top of the league since Chris took over.

I'm not convinced about Cummins either. I think he knows what he wants from the players, but may not have the ability to affect change from the club side of things.

I say give him until the end of the season and judge him off what he accomplishes then.
