If we lose DeRosario or Attakora at any point in our season it will kill us.

I'm not sure where your coming from here, but if you asked about his reputation around the league he's a guy who is often caught making rash challenges.

He was only sent off once. So Saric hasn't been sent off yet either, what's your point?

He's still a sloppy journeyman throwing hard tackles that leaves his team vulnerable.

This is our best game so far. TFC actually held the ball and attacked on one side, brought it back and tried the other. That may have been the longest possession we've had in four seasons.

agree and im a bit surprised too.

they are playing noticeably better than the two games last week

Loving the physical play. It's a good way to beat a team that's better than you. If it's intentional, it's very smart by Preki.


it works very well for Stoke City.

Decent half. Saric shouldn't be in MLS; when my wife watches 10 minutes of football and says "why is that guy out there," -- and my wife doesn't often watch 1 minute, let alone 10 -- that's saying something.

Labrocca and Hscanovic were both really good. DeRo's two-way game looks like he's trying to prove he's a midfielder, very impressive. But his passing has been sloppy.

Usanov's card was bullshit. One foot in and he got all ball. Attakora's been caught ball-watching twice. Cann looks excellent again.

More cohesive. Again, we're a bit rigid, in that there aren't a lot of options away from the ball. But that's probably a better place to start from than fluid play with these guys.

We might get something out of this.

Great half for JDG. He's playing with way more commitment than I've seen from him in a while. He must have heard the harsh criticism lobbed his way for last weekend's game.

Our team is looking pretty good defensively - probably the best we've looked in a long time - and I mostly chalk that up to Preki and his defense-oriented style. Now we just need a GM who can add the offensive pieces we require to score goals in that system.

I'm worried Saric is gonna be Preki's "garcia", the guy he's loyal to, and vice-versa, in spite of glaring performance deficiencies.

He made Hscanovic sit for a week and it did him a world of good. He's looking really good today, really helping the team have some width. Both he and Usanov are doing OK as wingbacks.

Saric will have a RED very soon if Preki doesn't get that tit out of there...he offers nothing!!! White's ball control is terrible! DeGuz & DeRo look good if we can just hold the ball up front and get them coming from a deep positon...

Quite under the weather today, buried under blankets on the couch.. My analysis :)

JDG - Fire lit within this guy all of a sudden. Best performance in a TFC kit so far. Great hustle, going forward, skills on the ball. Good on him

Backline - Looking content, bit clumsy at times (Usanov on clearance) however Cann is great. Hacsajskajdkjasvic looking good going forward although free kick was not good enough.

Rest on good pace, exceptio OBW who is caught sitting around.

Side note : Nick Labrocca is an integral part of the distribution system, however his corners are lacking in quality.

This is going to be Nil-Nil or a Toronto Win.
