View Full Version : Pre-match: 18 July Houston Dynamo at Toronto FC

Probably going to be toughest home match to date.

Houston's B team gave Seattle a good fight, and lucky to come out with a loss.

Brian Ching, Andrew Hainault and Stuart Holden are still away on Gold Cup duties, but key defenders Cameron and Boswell are expected to return.

Watch for Brad Davis to be the creative force in the midfield and from set pieces (as he destroyed TFC at Houston last time).

And Houston finally gave up 2 goals for first time since late March against Seattle, and they only had their make shift defence.

I'd be very happy if TFC scores two goals on Onstad and his gang

Call me nuts but with Gerba signedf if De Guzman joins the team I think we've got a decent shot at winning the Scudetto if we find our groove.
Having said that, this will be our most important league game to date as it could ethier put us within 3 points of first overall or leave us as many as 9 behind.

We always have a decent shot -- but Gerba will only be a shot in the arm up front, and with the Garcia/Serioux combination working like a treat in the back. If we can keep it up, Phil can -- and will -- be in our collective red packets for the Year of the Tiger. And my, what a big red packet it will be!

Anyway...I can see three points going either way. It's all about state of mind. We came off a trio of wins, the epic against Montreal sandwiched by two wins over the Red Craps. Then we come out flat as a naan from Little India in Salt Lake (a team that isn't in the basement). We can't afford to have ups and downs like this every time if we want to make the playoffs.

Houston is the cream of the MLS crop, and beating them will be HUGE. But the lads need to keep their head and must not let the win in SJ get to their heads...

I think most of the league has some rather questionable away forms -- the ONLY team .500+ on the road this year is...SHITCAGO. And even then their home form is nothing to write home about.

Wow, you are quick. Yes, it will be a massive game - and we need to win this one. Also, don't forget Canada plays Honduras in the Quarter Finals of the Gold Cup at 5pm following the TFC game. :)

If JDG signs, we officially have the best midfield in the league. And given Gerba's strength as a poacher, I see us bagging more of our chances both at home, and on the road.

No reason our form can't improve. That's the idea of bringing in better players.

I'm drooling at the prospect of watching JDG, Gerba, DeRo, Guevara and maybe even Vitti all interacting in the attacking third. Pretty much every single one of those names, with the exception of maybe Vitti, has the ability to play like an all-star on any given day.

And perhaps we can finally play some genuine possession football, which will take pressure off our (at times) questionable defense. But even our backline is much improved from last season, with Attakora playing out of his mind, Serioux being the fucking man, and Garcia chipping in with a few great performances.

Will probably see something like this from Houston

Mulrooney-Boswell-Cameron-Waibel
---------------Clark
------Mullan-------------Ashe

--------Kamara--Oduro/Weaver

Mullan was subbed off early last game. if he's not fit for Sat, it'd be a lot of help to us. He's a quality winger

Absolutely!
Houston demands respect on set pieces. Conversely TFC isn't a threat. 5 corners last night against SJ and none were close, let alone hopefull.

The book on Toronto and corner kicks is very unflattering; it almost reads to just putting the ball back in play and hoping for the best. I'd get Guevara off the corners, replace with Brennan; let him whip them in.

Against Houston, I'll be happy with a spirited and competitive effort. A tie would be a good result; a victory is unexpected and reaching.

Houston's starting XI (plus subs) vs Seattle: Pat Onstad, Richard Mulrooney, Julius James, Craig Waibel, Mike Chabala (Erik Ustruck 60), Brian Mullan (Danny Cruz 54), Ricardo Clark, Brad Davis, Corey Ashe, Dominic Oduro (Ade Akinbiyi 62), Kei Kamara.

I wish Cummins would try for leaving Brennan circling outside the box for a long range shot. It was tried a few times last season and it has more potential to work. Or at least give an another threat on setpieces, plus Brennan does have a very powerful (if a bit inaccurate) left foot)

07-12-2009, 08:15 PM
the Gerba and JDG speculation is all good, but neither will be on the field for the Houston game. So it's not going to help. It's going to take everything we have to take on Houston, a tie would be a happy result.

Yohan

Prediction for lineup? Is Cummins going to go with same formation as SJ game, or switch it up?

-----------Frei
Wynne-Attakora-Garcia-Serioux
-----Robinson---Guevara
--DeRosario-Vitti-Brennan
-----------Barrett

Subs
Edwards
Gomez
Velez
Ibrahim
Gala
Dichio
White

-I think Serioux is wasted at LB. However, Attakora and Wynne will probably get a spot because Houston does have some pace up front and on wings.
I think Garcia should get bumped to put Attakora-Serioux at middle, but that's probably not going to happen.
-Chad Barrett isn't going to get same amount of joy running at Houston defence, so I'd like to see Dichio trying to hammer Boswell-Cameron into ground. But considering Barrett scored two goals, Barrett is not going to sit this one out.
I want to see Dichio up front, with DeRo, Vitti, Barrett at AM role

Thats true.
When we played Chivas earlier in the year, everyone wrote the game off, but the boys ended up playing some really good footy. (It was also Cummins' first game as coach-unofficially)

this is a bit of moot point because Guevara is a central midfielder, not a winger.
Brennan is a left winger. and Guevara is probably never going to play on a wing position

DichioTFC
07-14-2009, 01:20 AM
^ Agreed. A 4-1-4-1 would work as well with Guevara and Brennan playing side by side. Either way, we'll have a strong squad on Saturday.

07-14-2009, 01:33 AM
I think this is going to be a very tough match. Last time we faced them didn't go so well (3-0, though it was in Dallas). Toronto has been playing well at home and I think we have been starting to see a great new team lately. Both teams are coming off a week's rest. I think this is going to be a close one, but they are gonna have to bust their asses for the win. I think we need to see injury reports / players missing before trying to make an accurate prediction.

Houston's away record so far this season is 4-4-1 with a goal differential of +2 (11-9). Meanwhile, they are undefeated (5-0-3) at their home ground. It should be an interesting and competitive game on Saturday afternoon at BMO Field. Houston's defense, at least according to the numbers, seems to be much more effective at their home ground as opposed to away matches. Here's hoping we can take advantage of any mistakes by the Dynamo and put the ball in the back of net to win the game and secure another three points. It's sure to be a tough game as Houston's in first place overall in MLS with 31 points for a reason. I'm a little reluctant to predict the final score in this one, but I am confident we can achieve victory, especially if Houston is missing a few players from its starting 11. We shall see. I can't wait for Saturday to arrive.

07-16-2009, 11:07 AM
The way the rest of our schedule looks, this might be a must-win for playoff contention.

Seriously, two-thirds of the rest of the season on the road? We'd better pray we sign DeGuzman, and that Sanyang is the second coming of Tebily, because our defense a) needs help at times anyway and b) has serioux limping around every game; can anyone honestly see him making every game, the restof the season?

Plus, I like Garcia but his last two games have been mediocre-to-poor, with a couple of panicky errors. Not sold on him yet,even with his upsides.

I agree with that. I'm just hoping that it's due to him needing to gel with his teammates and hopefully he'll settle down better.

And yet he asked for an extension of the deadline given by TFC to give it some more thought. He hasn't decided yet, and no doubt he would've given us his NO by now if he didn't want to come to Toronto. Yes, you are right that he wants to go to Europe, but right now I think he is putting together a list of Pros and Cons - and on this list of TFC he puts finances, family and future in the Pros and lack of challenge in the Cons.

Personally I think he'll return to Europe, but depending on the day and the reports coming out the odds seem to shift back and forth. I'd say there's a 35% chance that he'll sign with us, and that's at least better than one in a million.

When you say, "reports," do you mean the things we hear from Toronto? The TFC offer seems to have been in place for a while, so it really looks like there's no European offer good enough for him to take right now. Has there been any word of the European offers getting better?

By reports I mean confirmed/unconfirmed offers from overseas, and also the rumours of possible pay overseas. That's what I factor into the whole situation and what brings me to believe that he's still very much interested in TFC's offer.

07-17-2009, 04:51 PM
I have not posted on this topic as I had to really figure out my opinion. Here it is:

As much as I would love JDG in a TFC jersey but it doesn't make sense on a few different reasons:

One he is a great player, but MLS is not where he should be. He needs to ply his trade with and against the best. If he can get a million euros IMO there is no chance he played here and rightfully so.

Two if you need to redo the present roster to add him. TFC ends up with more holes in a thin squad. So yes you get a very good player, but now you still need players so you surround him with crap ala Galay circa 2006-2009.

Three if MLSE is willing to spend x dollars what is Dero worth to the squad? IMO you cause to many issues within the squad. I can see some of the players being upset and right now we need the right atmosphere ad we have the two important games coming up

So IMO as much as I would love to see JDG in a TFC jersey right now for the money it is not in the best interest of the squad to add him. Maybe in a couple of years with a higher cap and a lower salary I would want him to come home

Well, we always knew we would have to offer significantly more than a European team for the same guy - it would be nice to know how much less the European teams can offer and still be considered the better choice than here.

Not really inevitable.

The Galaxy were crap because

(1) Alexi Lalas didn't know how to trade well, and ended up with poorer players than he needed to have under the cap.

(2) They signed Ruiz, who was injury-prone, horribly slow, uninterested, and well-beyond the "best before" date.

(3) They put all of the emphasis on attack, and put not-so-great junior players on D.

(4) Poor coaching.

hahaha yep


(2) They signed Ruiz, who was injury-prone, horribly slow, uninterested, and well-beyond the "best before" date.
to be fair, Ruiz was great for them during their MLS Cup years. However, Ruiz lost a lot of motivation playing for Dallas and turned shit.
Nobody probably expected Ruiz to be so junk at this point


(3) They put all of the emphasis on attack, and put not-so-great junior players on D.

Actually, Greg Vanney came with a decent resume, but at 34, didn't have the legs for MLS anymore. Abel Xavier also had a decent resume but also turned to be shit.
Though trading away Joe Cannon and put Steve Cronin turned out to be more of a mistake then ever.

He was absolutely brutal; it seems like he was skinned for a goal every match. They would have expected him to at least be an above-average MLS defender. Let's say he ended up being one of the best ten defenders in the league, which wouldn't have been an outrageous demand of him at the point of signing... So much might be different.

I think Lalas was screwed because they had no cap room. Heck they gave away Ruiz for a couple of supplemental draft picks. I know Xavier had a guarunteed contract, not sure about Vanney but I imagine a USMNT would be. They were still paying Xavier after they released him.

Kind of like what happened to NYRB with Reyna. Everyone couldn't wait for his contract to run out because he was eating so much cap space. Not that it helped them once they freed up the cash :D.

Why did De Guzman then ask for an extension from TFC to make up his mind? Unless he's simply using us to impress European clubs - his agent letting the news go about our big cash offer. Also, Ben (there are two on the show) interviewed De Guzman, and we all heard it - and though he did say he would prefer a return to Europe he also said he was impressed by the offer given by TFC. So in my opinion it's more Ben's opinion and based on about as much speculation as you'll find in this thread. No fact, though.

This is a must-win. We can't let our standing in the table give us a false sense of confidence - especially considering the fact that we have a lot of away games to go, and only a few home games. We need to win this one - and I know we can do it!

I say a very boring 1-1 draw.

I say a very exciting 1-1 draw.

A draw would be tremendously disapointing...and ultimately useless for our playoff aspirations

It's gameday! I'm also going to be bold, and predict a 2-1 win for the Reds. Goals from DeRo, Vitti and Boswell.

Long may that continue! No Brian Ching for them!
