Toronto FC v Earthquakes
BMO Field 4:00 PM

Watch: CBC
Listen: FAN590


Toronto FC has the opportunity to reduce their playoff deficit to 2 points against one of the teams tied for the last playoff spot in a must win situation on home soil. Anything less than a victory will practically eliminate TFC from the post season. The Reds have performed well in the last 2 games and should be healthy and motivated against San Jose. It will be a difficult task against a quality opponent but I'm predicting a victory for the Reds to make the playoff race much more interesting down the stretch.

[Technorgasm]

Score for the home fans.

AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL RIGHTY THEN

[Darlofletch]

Well, Barrett and Santos will both be well rested and hopefully fully fit to go the whole game. If that's the case we should be able to pull out the win.

Does anyone know if Nana's back yet?

[Carts]

I'm guessing San Jose will sit back - so we should attack, attack, and then attack...

I'd go balls out for goals right from the opening whistle...

In fact, I'd rather lose this game 3-2, giving up 3-goals on counter-attack from SJ, then sitting on our asses and playing for a 0-0 - hoping for a goal to come from somewhere (aka Preki Ball)...

Daso - send the lads out for goals...!!!

Carts...

[pekduck]

Last year they came and stole a point at home in almost equally important game late in the season. Need to avenge the lost points this time.

Start Santos and Mista up front with Dero, LaBrocca, Gargan, JDG in the mid, Garcia, Cann, Nana/Harden, Usanov at the back and Frei in net.

Barrett comes in for either Santos/Mista to continue the beat down. Peterson/Sanyang comes in for LaBrooca/Gargan as relievers.
Ibrahim comes in to play pylon when needed.

I like that line-up. what's going on with Mista. is he going to be back for this one? does anyone know for sure why he wasn't playing against Houston.

I'm with you! I would be more proud to watch a 3-2 loss than a 0-0 tie. A tie at this point of the season would basically be a loss anyways.

[Brooker]

yeah. and we all know what happend last year when we didn't go balls out for goals against them at home. :o

[prizby]

rest players, we got a big match against RSL on tuesday!

[Fort York Redcoat]

Personally that's my priority but prepare for a shitstorm if that happens..

Cant wait to tell SJ where . . . and how far to shove it. .

I HATE THEM SO MUCH!!!

At this point, TFC's chances of qualifying for the next stage of CCL are really no better than their chances of making the playoffs. In both scenarios, TFC will have to win all of their remaining matches and hope for some other results to go their way. If I'm Dasovic, I dress the best starting 11 against San Jose and go all out for a victory to get back in the playoff hunt...

[jloome]

QFT. but after santos' last effort I'd start Barrett and mista

I love the idea of the ccl, but i think i'm coming round to wanting to focus more on the league.

reason why, it's much more immediate, we get into the playoffs, we're going to have to hit some serious form to win enough games to do that, which we can then carry over to the playoffs and see what happens.

we qualify for the ccl, then what? we wait until february, when during pre-season and with our squad presumably having gone through a fairly major turn over, we have to play against a team that on paper will probably be as good if not better than us, and in all likelihood is in the middle of their season. we get one showpiece home game, and it's done.

as for the "if I'm Dasovic" question, well then i'd say all that counts double, why sacrifice the playoffs for ccl qualification when there's a very good chance that come february, he won't even be the head coach any more.

as I said, i love the idea of the ccl, but it doesn't really work well with how mls schedule is set up. having said that, if we did qualify, the february date would put a much needed sense of urgency into the club, I'm sick of the hlaf arsed pre-seasons under Mo.

[twistedchinaman]

We beat them at their house -- now it's time to beat them at OUR house.

[counterattack]

Cant wait to tell SJ where . . . and how far to shove it. .

I HATE THEM SO MUCH!!!

Just envy of your betters!

Frank Yallop .....strong candidate for coach of the year

Preki......Mo's last mistake

lets do the streamers at every corner kick again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude you had me there until I saw Garcia at LB...He shouldn't even be on the bench never mind starting ..Harden has played BRILLIANTLY since getting more time the past 3 weeks....he should be at LB even though he's stronger at CB...

[Auzzy]

Listen to the interviews on the TFC website. Nana isn't fit for a full 90 after just returning to the squad. Probably they will rest him Saturday & have him ready for Tuesday.

[Cas87]

Do we think we can hit the threshold of 40 points.
We face two of the teams directly in front of us (Seattle and San Jose), what do we think?

40 points is probably not even going to be enough to make the playoffs this year.

I consider the San Jose and Seattle games both must wins. They are the 2 teams we are chasing (along with Colorado I guess). Ties or losses will not cut it.

Edit: Looking at the standings 4 wins out of the last 5 games may not even be enough.

When you lose at home to the last place team in the league....at some point in the playoff chase it comes back to bite you in the ass

[Globetrotter]

42 points = tiebreaker, 43 = in the playoffs. So, anything less than four wins and we're likely done.

That said, didn't we blow it vs SJ in the last few minutes last year near the end of the season... in Toronto? We were up 1-0 with less than 15 to play (maybe even extra time) and SJ scored?

[__wowza]

^^ i was at that game. it was the one before NY.

We don't know the final number for certain though. We could run the table and still miss the playoffs.

Yep, esquire added time and they scored, their subs who NEE had been taunting went right over to that corner to rub it in.

should be interesting to see if NEE has anything special planned beyond their usual subs-baiting.

Wasn't that the game where Serioux was leading the line out and had 3 SJ guys offside, and then you see Garcia backpeddling towards his own goal line which played everyone ONSIDE and then they scored...I thought Serioux's head was gonna explode...he looked like he wanted to KILL Garcia!!

Dude you had me there until I saw Garcia at LB...He shouldn't even be on the bench never mind starting ..Harden has played BRILLIANTLY since getting more time the past 3 weeks....he should be at LB even though he's stronger at CB...

He has yet to play a good game at LB. Sorry but Garcia is better at that position. Harden as a LB equals suicide.

[Carts]

I think you're both going overboard on Harden...

Has he been brilliant...? NO...

Is he suicide at LB...? No...

That being said, if Garcia has enough in the tank to start - I'd start him today at LB...

He'll need to be watched though... Garcia worked his ass off in Mexico. He's not a young lad - if he starts, Daso should have a sub pre-picked for Garcia b/c we've had and have a busy ride right now...

Carts...

[bgnewf]

Kevin Stott is the MLS ref in charge for TFC game today. TFC has 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses with him in charge. gulp.

[Wull]

Right, all ticket bullshit aside let's go out and show the boys that we're still here and behind them 100% :scarf:

[rocker]

Kevin Stott is the MLS ref in charge for TFC game today. TFC has 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses with him in charge. gulp.

probably TFC's fault... Stott isn't that bad.

my fav ref in MLS is the midget guy. he can see through players' legs.

[dupont]

Getting ready to go to the game now. No matter if we make the playoffs or not, I just hope the team plays the best they can and ends this season with pride.

[ManUtd4ever]

Kevin Stott is the MLS ref in charge for TFC game today. TFC has 1 win, 3 draws and 5 losses with him in charge. gulp.

Well in that case, the law of averages says we're due for a win! In any case, I'm sure the boys will put in a very strong effort today and hopefully the end result won't be dictated by the officiating...

Starters: Frei, Garcia, Cann, Harden, Hscanovics, Peterson, Gargan, de Guzman, De Rosario, Maicon, Barrett

Subs: Conway, Usanov, Attakora, Lindsay, LaBrocca, White, Mista

[mclaren]

wow - empty seats everywhere.

Yep, look at all that ticket demand.

No wonder they had to raise the prices and gouge the fans. Now I understand.

[justin]

any working streams yet? stupid atdhe stream always takes like 15 minutes

[TFC USA]

Peterson starting again?! FUCK ME

[ag futbol]

Oh man, not a good start.

[Banjax]

i have nothing to say...

[Inklink]

Wynne?

[TFC_Central]

wow, theres the dero american footy 2 point conversion! ahaha

[TFC_Central]

were in front 2-1
;)

[ag futbol]

Yep, look at all that ticket demand.
You said it. Funny how they make it sound like they are selling barrels of oil or bushels of wheat. Think it`s a little more elastic than they assume. And surprise! it`s dynamic enough to be affected by things like the way you change prices.

[jloome]

Eek, passing to a guy who's obviously 2 feet offside. not smart.

[manic.street.preacher]

anyone got a link that's working?

[jloome]

Great timing on these runs today.

[jloome]

Same link every week, every sport. atdhe.net

Or that's what I hear. Not that i'd ever go to a site illegally carrying television feeds.

[jloome]

Fuckin' Santos didn't even try to get on that back post.

[Banjax]

it should not be 1-0 with these chances

[TFCRegina]

I see we're off to a great start.

[TFC_Central]

santos is no rob friend. jeez Mo built our team soo wrong!

[TFC_Central]

Fuckin' Santos didn't even try to get on that back post.
bitch bitch moan moan im sure he thought superhero dero would get there :D

[TFC USA]

Mo might have fucked this team up for seasons and seasons to come if he stayed on.

We need a complete rebuild Mo-free.

this is soo true, we have a bunch of players whose talents dont mix :s

It's like a practice match for San Josie.
Are TFC bothered ?
Are the fukc.

[TFC USA]

I hate watching MLS during the end of the season because it looks even shittier when you've just watched the EPL or La Liga earlier in the day.

[Batman]

dont know why I'm watching. I guess it's a habit...but this is ot entertaining.

[TFC_Central]

oh hey, where the fuck is mista?

[Batman]

oh hey, where the fuck is mista?

you mean today, or all year?

[Nuvinho]

oh hey, where the fuck is mista?

counting his money on the bench.

[Davenport]

Shit soccer.
De Guzman doing fukc all again.

[TFC USA]

Sometimes I wish this team would tank instead of disappoint me over and over again.

[ag futbol]

Can we fuckoff with the long throw-ins... seriously

[Krasno.pL.]

Sometimes I wish this team would tank instead of disappoint me over and over again.

This is not the Leafs ;) haha

[MFG1]

PURE AWESOME, this is so thrilling to watch, I should have used my tickets and went to the game. wow they are really turning it on.

[Batman]

Sometimes I wish this team would tank instead of disappoint me over and over again.

ya, but it's not like tanking would give them some amazing draft pick...

for that matter, how is what they are doing, not tanking?

[TFC_Central]

Shit soccer.
De Guzman doing fukc all again.

actually thats just bus jumpin hate, he is making a good 2nd effort out there, ive counted 5 quality tackes that prevented them movement. Also a good dummy just for dero to sky it over the net. Im no jdg lover but direct your general disgust somewhere else , at least for the time being :D

[TFC USA]

This team is a disgrace to football.

I wonder whether or not we're better than the Union.

[TFC_Central]

on the other hand, garcia is shite.

[Batman]

actually thats just bus jumpin hate, he is making a good 2nd effort out there, ive counted 5 quality tackes that prevented them movement. Also a good dummy just for dero to sky it over the net. Im no jdg lover but direct your general disgust somewhere else , at least for the time being :D

na... JDG has been a virtual waste of $.. there isn't anything he could do now to redeem himself in most people's eyes.

[Inklink]

F'ing pathetic.

[TFC_Central]

This team is a disgrace to football.

I wonder whether or not we're better than the Union.

lol, bro were not a disgrace to footy, Arabe Unido is a disgrace to football. Were a product of mismanagement to the full extent. That's no disgrace at all :)

[TFC_Central]

na... JDG has been a virtual waste of $.. there isn't anything he could do now to redeem himself in most people's eyes.

no more than barrett or garcia??:canada:

[TFC USA]

How the fuck is not a foul?

[Batman]

I wonder how many times this years we got a header towards the net on a corner.

I bet you could count them on one hand.

[Nuvinho]

why is barrett playing better at midfield than JDG.....good pass to Santos...JDG couldn't do that.

[Batman]

no more than barrett or garcia??:canada:

thats true, but the expectations on a DP are higher, and should be higher than the others.

[TFC_Central]

frei!

[Nuvinho]

Frei is gone next year!

[TFC USA]

Frei doesn't deserve to be with a team this shitty.

[Batman]

Frei is gone next year!

I assume he's still under contract...or I should say I hope.

He might be our one sellable asset.

[Davenport]

actually thats just bus jumpin hate, he is making a good 2nd effort out there, ive counted 5 quality tackes that prevented them movement. Also a good dummy just for dero to sky it over the net. Im no jdg lover but direct your general disgust somewhere else , at least for the time being :D

San Jose are walking through our midfield.
Does that answer your comment ?

[Nuvinho]

I assume he's still under contract...or I should say I hope.

He might be our one sellable asset.

I think MLS did TFC a favour by keeping him as a GA, in order to bring up his value, so they can sell him in January.

[TFC USA]

So we're winning on the road for once (and getting a draw at Mexico) but we fucking stink at home now.

[MFG1]

only four and a half more games to go, alas....

[TFC_Central]

thats true, but the expectations on a DP are higher, and should be higher than the others.

I get you but what are we trying to build here? JDG is a DM , not a wizard, If we still had guevara, vitti, serioux i think we would have a distinct shot at the playoffs. The thing is we never replaced guevara. Also we dont have a vitti esque player who can beat 2-3 players. Yet we have a mista & maicon to finish? I don't even know why Peterson is on the team, we don't have a rob friend.

[TFC_Central]

San Jose are walking through our midfield.
Does that answer your comment ?


haha notice where? Down the flanks , JDG is not the weak link in this mid. As dull as cronin was, He was solid in mid.

[ArmenJBX]

Very interesting observation here:

Frank Yallop has had 3 years with San Jose Earthquakes, and the squad has remained relatively the same. They're playing good flowing soccer, passing well and pressing properly. Likely to make playoffs this year.

Toronto FC have had 5 managers in 4 years. The squad has changed dramatically every year, still unable to play proper soccer, and it's basically the same result every year. No Playoffs again.

But, of course, Mo Must Go right? Preki must go right? I'd be incredibly scared if any one of these Preki haters had their way. You give the coach time to build, and if the players don't like him, hit the road. We are probably the worst team in the league in the style we play. That much is clear. We are also clearly the worst users of the salary cap. Toronto FC is in the wrong hands.

Oh, and the best part! Every team who's signed a DP (Except maybe Landin) has had success with them. We signed De Guzman who clearly doesn't give a shit about playing and Mista who doesn't start.

But let's just pay increased Seasons Tickets prices and keep on singing! :D

Inter Toronto SC till I die. Come on you Blues!

[daner90]

Alright time to bring in Mista and play 3 up front. At this point it we need goals...well we needed have goals all season...

[ag futbol]

So we're winning on the road for once (and getting a draw at Mexico) but we fucking stink at home now.
This team is nervous as shit.

Asides from JDG who perpetually doesn`t give a fuck, everyone is wondering where they`re going to be next year.

For most of them, it won`t be a good answer.

[ag futbol]

Well except they`ve consistently had to change their formula in terms of their best players. No more Ronnie O or Huckerby.

I honestly don`t think waiting three years to make the 7th spot in the playoffs is a model for anything. They could just as easily be looking at it from the outside next year.

I also don`t think the players hate Frank Yallop so much they`d pine for him to be fired.

[Davenport]

haha notice where? Down the flanks , JDG is not the weak link in this mid. As dull as cronin was, He was solid in mid.
Watch the game....it's through the middle.....where JDG and Gargan are.
Cronin is outplaying them both.

We are under the illusion that one or two players or managers being gone will fix this team, yet when we watch this team one thing is very very clear.

TORONTO FC IS NOT PLAYING REAL SOCCER. Every single other team in this league has some kind of system of play. Our system is long ball bullshit giveaway rough tackle crap.

[Davenport]

We all know JDG is a colossal waste of money but there are too many passengers on this team.
The Latvian, Gargan, Harden, Garcia, Peterson and Santos are all useless.

I agree with you there. There are so few valuable pieces in this mess it`s laughable.

I hope these idiots realize that you can spend 100M on a training facility and a youth academy setup but if the wrong people are managing it, we`ll still be a laughing stock.

[ArmenJBX]

Honestly, the only MLS Caliber players I see in this team are:

De Rosario
Dan Gargan
Ty Harden
Adrian Cann
Nick LaBrocca
Maicon Santos
Chad Barrett
Jacob Peterson
Stefan Frei

Even then, only De Rosario, Gargan, Cann, Frei and Barrett are starters.
Everyone else can go. Nana Attakora can go to Europe if he doesn't want to be here.

aw, cute... hes crying

what are you smoking? Give me some.

[TFC_Central]

that was fking brutal barrett....

[TFCRegina]

Well, at least we have a lock on the 3rd Round of the draft next year...

[ArmenJBX]

Ty Harden is solid, same with Peterson. Barrett and LaBrocca are obvious.

I defended Nick Garcia. Look at my old posts. Now he's fucking awesome, or at least, not as shit. When I have a feeling, it usually ends up right. I had a good feeling about Jacob Peterson in his first game.

I promise you that Harden and Peterson will one day be solid starters.

[TFC_Central]

dero ????? ugh striker tackles :(

[ArmenJBX]

It's over! :D No more playoffs for Toronto!

Good job Preki haters :) You definitely knew what was what. Let's not build a good squad over time.

Can't wait for 2011 rebuild threads!!! :D

[TFC USA]

Play the academy kids and cut 90% of this roster

[TFC_Central]

How is barrett obvious? How many games has he cost this club by missing easy tap ins? More than 5? 10? As for peterson and labrocca anyone can give a good ball. Neither of them checks back.....l.. ohh and thats the game folks.

[TFC USA]

I defended Nick Garcia. Look at my old posts. Now he's fucking awesome, or at least, not as shit.

No. Garcia is still shitty, just slightly less shitty. He shouldn't be starting.

[Davenport]

Great defending again.
A fukcing joke.

[ag futbol]

While i almost agree with your starters list...

Harden just can`t stick with is mark half the time, gets turned far too often. I`d argue Gargan (while i`d be in favor of keeping him) is in many ways positionally poor.

The best teams in this league can find talent on minimal salaries. That`s why as much as keeeping many of these guys is the safe route, I`d rather show them the door.

[Inklink]

Fuck you TFC. Fuck you you fucking useless DPs. Fucking shitty team year after year. Fuck you all coaches who can't coach and all players who can't play.

Frei doesn't deserve this shit. He'll be gone somewhere where the players in front of him know how to play this fucking game.

Haven't had someone who can cross in 4 years. Just picking up worldwide rejects for the most part.

I'm not angry :D .

[Batman]

It's over! :D


In more ways than one.

The game.
The season.
The buzz.
The interest.
The love.
The support.

[MFG1]

sellouts next year? good luck lady, you're going to need it.

http://politicspeaksvalleys.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/the-simpsons-nelson.jpg

[ArmenJBX]

Are we talking about the same Barrett?

I'm talking about Chad Barrett, you know the guy who's scored 6 this year? Better then Mista if you ask me, and I'm a Valencia fan too..

[MFG1]

maybe we should get fieldturf

[ArmenJBX]

Misunderstandings are just galore today. No one knows where the other is, and no one can find each other. Guess why?

No team chemistry! :D

What was Preki trying to build?

Team Chemistry! :D

But it's okay that he's gone because the players whined :) Now we're shit (again!) but as long as the players are happy-go-lucky, everything is just fantastic in BMO Field! Keep on singing! :D

How is barrett obvious? How many games has he cost this club by missing easy tap ins? More than 5? 10? As for peterson and labrocca anyone can give a good ball. Neither of them checks back.....l.. ohh and thats the game folks.

lmao if you don't think Barrett is a starter in this league you're nuts.

Also major lol @ saying he's cost us 10 games by missing easy tap ins ...... so what you're saying is he should be the MLS leader in goals (by a wide margin in fact) if we're going to add a minimum of 10 to his current tally. gmafb.

[MFG1]

I love the empty seats, it looks so red....

[TFC_Central]

lol fail.

[ArmenJBX]

Nick Garcia with a better shot then anything De Rosario has done today :)

[ag futbol]

Let me preface this by saying i don`t necessarily think Barrett is a problem for this team.

But realistically the better teams in this league are starting more talented people up front.

Take it for what it`s worth ...

[Blowing Bubbles]

dammmmmmm missed-a

[TOBOR !]

192 square feet, Mista, 192 square feet.

I understand that, I believe Barrett is MLS Caliber, not necessarily starting XI quality, though even then I'd say Barrett isn't the worst starting striker in the league either.

[King Jeff]

It's sad, because I cared about this team so much more than I ever thought I would during its first three years. But now I just don't give a shit anymore.

I can see TFC being the Toronto Rock 2.0 (do they still even exist?).

[ArmenJBX]

De Guzman is officially worthless, and now he's being booed. Worst decision by Mo imo.

[Blowing Bubbles]

fans are not pleased .......

[TOBOR !]

Wondolowski looks more worried about his hair than any threat from TFC. Justifiably so.

[Batman]

De Guzman is officially worthless, and now he's being booed. Worst decision by Mo imo.

That says a lot. It's a pretty big list.
Mista would be up there too.

[TFC_Central]

nice, you see busch's face?

[ag futbol]

WTF ...

[Blowing Bubbles]

oh that was FILTHY! DeRo!

[ArmenJBX]

As long as De Rosario is happy, who gives a shit right?

Go ahead and score your goal, but now what? Get scored on.

Morons. Toronto FC is full of morons. But as long as de Rosario is happy..

[Batman]

oh, the humanity. make it end.

[Blowing Bubbles]

lol is that 12 goals for 48,000 in salary for Wondo? Nice ROI for San Jose.

[Inklink]

HAHAHAHAH So typical! WOW

[Nuvinho]

Raivis Useless-vic

[MFG1]

The Toronto DeRosarios dont look like they are going to pull it off. Ill bet you no one in the FO would have ever expected this, funny I dont feel sorry for them at all. Welcome to Toronto

[Nuvinho]

I knew I should of started Wondo on my fantasy team.....but I figured I'd give TFC the benefit of the doubt since we are playing at home.

[TFC_Central]

get rid of barrett. Jesus

[ArmenJBX]

Who came off for OBW?

[Nuvinho]

Who came off for OBW?

Raivis Useless-vic

[sulfur]

Hiscanovics.

We're playing 5 strikers on the field now. Since DeRo plays as one.

[Batman]

Are Dasovic's chances at head coach fading away?

[Nuvinho]

Are Dasovic's chances at head coach fading away?

I don't think so. Half of these fools are Preki's players.

I wonder if we offer Yallop the GM job, he'd come here......and bring Cronin with him.

[ilikemusic]

De Guzman is practically the worst player on the pitch! :facepalm:

[jloome]

Dreadful. Just dreadful.

[smtavare]

Hiscanovics cost us 2 goals and Gargan one. I love frei too but fucken guy couldn't save a PK even if they used a beach ball

[Detroit_TFC]

Next season will be another lost season: best case is a new coach starts remaking team and that takes time or, worst case, new coach keeps same old dysfunctional team and we rerun this season.

[Nuvinho]

I remember Claudio Lopez took a huge paycut, when he didn't do so well as a DP.....I bet JDG would laugh at that notion.

[MFG1]

I will pay someone 50 to take my tickets for next game hahahahahahahahaha

[Nuvinho]

PICK THE BALL UP YOU FOOL. Don't celebrate.

[ilikemusic]

I remember Claudio Lopez took a huge paycut, when he didn't do so well as a DP.....I bet JDG would laugh at that notion.

:lol:

The only reason JDG signed here was for the pay check.

[Nuvinho]

:lol:

The only reason JDG signed here was for the pay check.

yeah, I know. I would feel so guilty if I didn't earn my pay cheque each game.

[jloome]

Wow. it took Us having five strikers on the field at the same time to score a goal from the run of play.

[Batman]

yeah, I know. I would feel so guilty if I didn't earn my pay cheque each game.

but I bet you'd cash it. :drum:

[TFC USA]

This is depressing. At least they haven't quit.

[Limani_Ole]

this game has the flow of a high school match

[TFCRegina]

Are Dasovic's chances at head coach fading away?

If anything, it should be a boost for him.

3-2 and he has arguably one of the worst squads ever assembled on the pitch. They are scoring goals with him.

Half the team needs to go.

And it's bad because Garcia is in the half that we need to keep...just because need continuity and he's not as bad as the bad half. :facepalm:

[MFG1]

^ I have been saying that for two years

[Nuvinho]

but I bet you'd cash it. :drum:

I would cash it ;) haha!!!

JDG is the Yogi Stewart of TFC

[TFC USA]

Sell Frei to Arsenal.

[ArmenJBX]

De Guzman needs to be benched. What he's putting in in terms of effort is simply not good enough. He's walking away from challenges instead of making them, his passes are dismal at best, and he's really not trying.

He's spoiled.

[jloome]

Y'know, this balls-to-the-wall stuff is the only TFC soccer I've enjoyed since the Cruz Azul game.

[TFC USA]

Just keep singing! :D

Oh, and don't forget to renew.

We are just as big a problem as they are...

You're an annoyance. Ignore button time.

[ArmenJBX]

You're an annoyance. Ignore button time.

Same to you brother. Same to you.

DeGuzman is a waste of our energy, just like it seems we're a waste of his energy.

[Limani_Ole]

peterson has sucked from day one

[TFC USA]

Fuck Peterson.

[TFC_Central]

lol peterson.

[TFCRegina]

Jacob Peterson is fucking useless.

[TFC USA]

Same shit every season.

I'm pissed.

[jloome]

Man, Jimmy, you're just not being straight. He's not "walking away from challenges." That's hyperbole, and insulting to everyone's intelligence. He IS sucking and you have a valid point that maybe benching him for a game would make him wake up..

But I don't think effort is the issue. THe issue is he can't handle the pressure of his role and simply doesn't have game-dominating skills to begin with. He's a contributor, a role-player with good ball handling, reasonable tackling skills and reasonable passing skills. His strength is reading and breaking up game flow.

He's never going to dominate games, and the more involved he tries to get -- the harder he tries --the more inconsistent his performance gets. It's sad to watch at this point.

[Nuvinho]

I was never one to talk bad about Peterson, since I watched him in alot of game with Colorado and figured he was coming back from a bad injury...but you HAVE TO AT LEAST GET A SHOT ON NET THERE!! Just terrible!

[Nuvinho]

You know when Mista is showing more urgency than JDG, you are F**ked

[ArmenJBX]

Should have been clearer, he's walking away instead of making those challenges, the challenges he SHOULD be making because he's the first man there. He doesn't stick his foot out when he should. I see it all the time. He just doesn't try. Benching him will show that that's not good enough.

[ArmenJBX]

Regardless, the season is basically over.

Sigh... :(

[Batman]

post game thread is now open.

[twistedchinaman]

Is this s*itshow over?

Completely agree. I haven't watched much of this game (I'm at work), but what I saw I actually noted the exact same thing. He looked like he was trying to be everywhere at once and being let down by people around him. If JDG's receiving poor passes and getting put in bad spots and the people hes trying to pass to don't do anything to help him, what can he do other then get frustrated. I still think hes a good signing, he just needs better players around him
