View Full Version : Gerba will be our top striker this year

You can take this to the bank. Forget all the he is slow, he is fat. HE PUTS THE BALL IN THE NET, and we will do it for us. I will not argue about this. If I am wrong you can lambast me at the end of the year. But I assure you I will not be.

sure but i dont think it will be by much or really that impressive a feat (considering our line up). i do think he looked good on the field and has potential, im just not expecting a ton from him

I want to agree, and I want to believe -- and that PK he shot against River was amazing, too -- but he's got some catching up to do to beat DeRo and Guevara for the top goal-scoring spot, especially given where we are in the season.

I think if we see 5 or 6 out of him, that would be more than great.

he won't be the top scorer in the league or anything this year, but i think that after a pre-season next season, he will contribute A LOT (and if we could get grass by next year, even better)

I compleletely agree to a point. He seems to lack the touch on the turf. It will take him a few games to get over the turf. Still see him scoring at least 5-6 for the rest of the season.

I'm sure Ali Gerba will do very well for the club. He's a step up in terms of what TFC already has for strikers. I take back what I said in the river/TFC post-game thread about Dichio being garbage. He has the right mentality on the field and he can play the game, but he's not as good as he used to be for the club, which could be because of previous injuries. Ali Gerba is not fat. He's built, but he brings size and a physical presence up front. As long as he continues to work on his fitness he should be fine. Overall, he's a great striker and he will fit in nicely.

I don't know. I still don't think he should automatically get the starting role on this team. I think he should work for it and prove that he IS the best striker. We have lots of options up front.

07-23-2009, 04:47 PM
I can't see it. For the BIG man to score, he's gonna need great service. We're not tooled for that style of game. He has no movement for a class striker. Slow & cumbersome, maybe if Winsper whips him into game shape.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think we'll be dissapointed, don't think he's worthy of a starting spot.

uh, if Gerba got the level of service Barrett got so far this year, and Gerba was with us at the start of the season, he'd be a 10 goal scorer right now

creating chances is not a problem for TFC

He's not slow, but has short burst of speed.
I kind of think of him as TFC's Pippo Inzaghi

FluSH
07-23-2009, 08:24 PM
Gerba did not impress me at all... maybe I was beign to critical... however I still think he needs to earn his Spot in the 11... and so far Barrett has it in my books over Gerba... yeah that's right I've said it.

Yeah, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. We've got a bunch of role players up front, butI suspect as he's gotten older that Gerba's finishing has consistently improved. He's got a cannon foot and it's accurate, and I think he'll end up with somewhere around seven or eight for the rest of the season.

Not really. He's always finished at the rate he dies now, but the rest of his game (positioning, holding up the ball, etc.) have improved vastly, which allows him to get more chances than he did in his younger days.

I don't think Gerba is the right man. Another target striker with not much agility from what I see. I would love a player who can play with their back to the goal, but also able to turn players and take the defenders on.

The Kingpin
07-26-2009, 05:11 PM
I just thought I would beat everyone to it!! The player has come from a meager footballing background and has played for some very poor teams. He has scored in his first game, which is fantastic, but there will be games where he does not score. This is when we should call for his head!!

So in lieu of the impending failure of Gerba - I say trade him NOW!!

I just wanted to remind people of this, yesterday showed why I believe in Gerba. He gets the job done. I do not want to get to long winded but to put it simply he is the only one other then Dichio that has those true striker skills know how. I leave it at that.

Gerba played reasonably well, but he's quite slow, can't turn under pressure and is in danger of inheriting Samuel's pie jokes with that stomach. I definitely think he ought to be fitter.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't he the first player to score on his debut? That has to be a good sign doesn't it?

Full credit for him finishing the bobbling tap in.

I didn't see anything in his game to suggest he's an upgrade on what we have.

He looks stiff & musclebound, a bit short of fitness. Not very good in the air, not a great 1st touch, not blessed with pace, slow turning.

A big lad for sure, I'm sure he'll be a handful for teams of our defensive calibre. I don't think there would be many mls teams that be after his services.

Probably a squad player when he's fully fit, looses a few pounds:scarf:

I was going to say - are you fucking kidding me? The entire reason we brought Gerba in, is precisely because this team CAN'T put away sitters and garbage goals.

Gerba is a pure finisher, with decent acceleration, and a strong frame. Those aren't revelations - they are the reasons we hired him. To put away the easy ones, more often than not.

That was a poached goal, and he made it easy. He passed to Barret taking the keepers attention to Barret, and when Barret passed it back all he had to do was a nice simple kick. It is simple smart football, in front of the net that is what we need.

^ I think that he is going to get it even, if he score 10, people just do not like his type of player. He is like an MLS level Inzaghi, meaning that his game is mostly placement and finishing, in other areas he seems avarage ( he is also big, good at holding up the ball and makes very smart passess in the last third). People want to see speed and hustle. I am not one.

It's going to be like this all year. I haven't seen much of him, but the impression I get is that he's going to be a frustrating player who probably won't create much by himself and when we're struggling, he won't look good, but he'll somehow keep scoring goals. I'm fine with that, we've got enough try hard, look good but don't finish forwards, but when he doesn't score, people are going to be on his back.

It's a bit much for it to be starting already, after he did his job and scored against columbus.

The only guy that would've missed that is Cunny & he's gone.

Kudo's he scored the goal.

Strong frame, yeah he's musclebound, I don't see the acceleration, I don't see an ability to turn & I haven't seen any theat in the air.

He's just another option for Cummins. I don't think he's anything special, not better than DD for sure.

In my opinion Gerba did exactly what he is supposed to do for us. He gets the ball on his foot in a scoring position, and scores...

We've all seen, several times this year, our forwards get in on goal, 1-v-1 with the keeper and not finish - Gerba finished...

If he can do that - then he is a huge improvement...

I'm not disputing people's review of his play (1st touch, turn w/the ball etc), but if he can be the type of player that when he gets a chance he gets a goal - that's something we have been lacking for 3-seasons...

Carts...

Stryker
07-26-2009, 10:49 PM
For me personally I've never doubted Gerbas ability to score frequently for us. My biggest concern with Gerba was that he may think he was bigger than our team. However after having just gotten around to seeing this weekends Footy Show, I see there was an interview with Gerba where he described a major Toronto club as "a beautiful thing" and said that he felt MLS was at least on par with League One.
He also spoke very respectfully about his former manager at MK Dons despite him having been unceremoniously cut from the team.
What this all tells me is that Gerba is likely to be co-operative in working with Winspear and can only get better from here on out.
THAT prospect is indeed very exciting.

I see him causing problems for defenders and him and barret could make a really good combination... He reminds me alot of Dichio...He will be our Inzaghi...

I doubt he has the touch

I think his touch is as good as than Dichio's from what I've seen in his games with Canada and TFC. He is solid at laying off passes for teammates (see him and DeRo in CBus) and when faced with a scoring chance, he's got a quick, accurate, hard shot.

As well, my guess is his scoring rate with TFC will be better than Dichio's (14 in 58 games).

Gerba will score a lot of goals for TFC, and there will be tons of people who complain about him unfortunately. Gerba is a finisher, a poacher, a player who might not make his own chances (like Barrett) but will finish the chances he gets. In short, he's a player we desperately needed (with our lack of finishing ability). He's a player that might disapear for 45 minutes, and you might be cursing his name, but then, he cleans up garbage in front of the net and gets a goal. Sure, he's not going to be a DP level striker, but he will be an integral part of TFC, and could help our other players seem better.

As for Dichio, he doesn't see to have the same soccer IQ as Dichio, but he has a shot that puts Dichio's to shame.

Because it easier for him, than admitting he's wrong.

Gerba has a 1 in 2 scoring rate for our national team, including goals against some of the stiffer opposition in CONCACAF, not just scrubs. This idea that he will only score against "weaker teams" in MLS, isn't based in objective reality.

He's like Danny Dichio, except with a far better shot. How that makes him a "squad player", especially on a team like ours, in a league like ours, is indeed "daft". Gerba is the perfect complement to a skilled forward, because he's strong, and can clean up the trash.

Defending champions and top of the EAST right now. But Columbus is somehow weak opposition? never mind that they set a record for undefeated home games.

I know you won't answer me, cause there is nothing you can say except admit you are wrong.

Went second onto my ignore list after Giambac. No humility, very aggressive, makes up his mind then defends it to the teeth. Brutally wrong on this one but will keep going about it for months rather than step back from overconfidence in his own intellect.
Heh, I imagine that if Gerba scored a hat-trick to win the World Club Cup against Barcelona, he'd still be talking about Gerba as a squad player.


We're all fucking wrong sometimes. Me, like 30 times a day. Life's easier when we all just admit it and move on.
Wise words. I wish I followed them more often. :cool:

? Last time I checked, it was o.k not to agree with the masses. I went through this with Welsh, Robert & Ricketts. That was a shorthanded Columbus team.

I never said that big Ali was crap, just one dimensional. I gave my opinions & the reasons why.

If it turns out he's worthy of a starting role & proves to be a great acquisition, great. We'll be a better team for it & I'll then admit I was wrong about Ali, just like I said, if we make the play-offs I'd congradulate Mo.

I just don't see it, he's a very ordinary one dimensional forward, that's my opinion, it doesn't make me the anti-Christ.

According to some fuckwits, you can't have a strong contrary opinion. :scarf:

Bully for you being wrong so often.

For the record, I have no problem admiting I'm wrong, doesn't happen often on TFC stuff, 'cause I'm usually bang on. Yea I'm aggressive with my views, like i say, I'm usually right.

When have I been wrong that you can make the statements above?

Not my fault your wrong so often :scarf:

What pish your talking here.

If the big man turns out to be a goal scoring great for T.O. I'd gladly admit I was wrong in a heartbeat.

We'd probably be in the play-offs & that would make my day :scarf:

Good God, can you be any more full of yourself?

Perhaps you should apply for Mo's job at TFC, since you know everything. I'm sure you'll be happy taking Judas' job away from him.

? Judas ? Don't foist your pre-conceived notions on me. I'm not part of the Judas brigade.

I'm wrong on somethings, sometimes, just not very often. When that rarity happens, I admit it.

If you can't deal with that, or my views. Too bad. :scarf:

Actually, little man, that was what I thought was a private communication between Jack & I.

There was no bitching out, so, get your fact straight. :scarf:

We don't all have to fall in line with your, on anybody elses evaluation of players. It's not about running like lemmings.

If & when Gerba proves to be an upgrade on what we've got, he'll get all the credit he deserves. If we make the play-offs, Mo will also get credit.

As for all the whisperers, lemmings & cliques that don't seem to know the difference between a private message & public message. Carry on with your little 1/2 truth club. Everyone agree & hold the same opinion & make nice. I hope we have a successful season. :scarf:

You continue to intentionally conflate this idea that we want everyone to fall in line with a single Borg-like opinion, with the fact that most people here just seem to think you're an arrogant ass.

Oh well. Are you actually leaving this time? If so, the 1/2 Truth Club bids you adieu.

I said it , and I just want to remind all of you "he is sucks he is too fat ect" that I said it, and I am sticking too it.

Why, do I say it. Good footy IQ, for this league ( good positionaly ect), great shot , poacher ( will capitalize on defensive erros, and in the MLS there are many), he finishes when he has an opportunity ( more often then not).

Why has he not scored since the first game, we have hardly put the ball close to the opponetns box. It is difficult to score, when this is not done.

If Gerba starts to score, we will all benefit.

If he does not, then we will be watching the playoffs on TV..AGAIN. And I suspect that in february we will be hearing from a new coach (If not new GM) descibing how the team showed up "prepared" and "in the best shae of their careers" and that not making the playoffs is "not an option"...AGAIN.

I continue to believe the former is possible, but I may be thinking "wishfully"

You can take this to the bank. Forget all the he is slow, he is fat. HE PUTS THE BALL IN THE NET, and we will do it for us. I will not argue about this. If I am wrong you can lambast me at the end of the year. But I assure you I will not be.


Not this season...next year once he gets training with Winsper and have a proper training camp with the team...leading goal score 2010.

He's only had three shots in three games. One of them went in, and another forced a save. Pretty hard to judge a poacher if he never sees the ball in the box.
