This is pretty much the worst 20 mins they put together so far this season. Theyre really outdoing themselves because theyve sucked a whole lot. Can't think of one better than avg offensive play they've made so far.

jloome
04-30-2011, 09:31 PM
See, this is tactically stupid. Seattle is playing full-field pressure and we're trying to build with short passes out of the back, when there's about an acre of space behind Seattle's midfield.

fellas, fellas. i am afraid you all misunderstand the purpose of this season, and the next couple as well. let me explain.....

you see, you must continue to throw your support (and $, of course) behind this sad bunch each and every week as the organization's master plan slowly but brilliantly unfolds. after two or three seasons of ineptitude you will all be rewarded in the same way that the club's initial building took place. remember? out of the ashes tfc began and the pain of those fledgling seasons of 2007 and 2008 was finally met with reward last year. :scarf::flare::drum:

Laughable: "Welcome to Green Hell" sign, fans who still shout "You suck asshole" when a keeper kicks the ball, and TFC's claim to play "attractive, possession-oriented, attacking football."

This is my first year with seasons so money-wise, I'm actually throwing away the least I've ever spent. But I'm also the most disappointed I've ever been about this team, rebuilding year or not.

That's largely because I really don't know what can be done right now to turn this team around. I mean, we're dropping points at home like it's loose change, where in 2009 it was a near-guarantee that we'd win.

Chris Cummins came one point short of making the playoffs. Don't lose sight of that when you're comparing the Mo years to what's happening now.

Change when something is toxic is a good thing. But what if you've changed one kind of cancer for another?

I think what you're describing is the year after Chris Cummins left the team.

Preki, was the cancer we didn't need, he definitely purged the shit out of this team.

I think as far as the approach that Aron Winter is taking is that of an experienced player and coach. He's a new coach no different than any other new head coach, but one thing he has that no one can teach is experience evaluating players and that will be usefull for the future.

Agree - and had the same thought when he decided to play Peterson at the back to defend at D.C.

I'm not sure this guy's thinking is as sound as everyone says. He's starting to look a lot like Ruud Gullit, when he coached L.A. The two know each other and met in Turkey ahead of this season...

What I honestly think we need is a coach with MLS experience or with (save your outrage everyone) EPL or League 1 experience. The MLS game is as close to the direct, shut-down style of the English game as I've ever seen.

I'm not saying we should sack Winter. But buddy's learning-on-the-job experience needs to wrap up. Now.

Bad Pile
Santos - No Work Ethic and complains to much
Gargen - No Skill period
Cann - Works hard but just too slow to play centre back
De Guzman - A yellow card per game almost. A complete waist of money with him as DP.

;1289034']Matt Gold is the real number of the character from the Lucky Charms commercials. After Nestle lowered the sugar in their cereals, the dude has been unemployed, and so MLSE decided to give him a trial since he's an Irish national and has a good rep.

Thanks for the info :-)

Has he been in a game before 'cause he's news to me???

What I honestly think we need is a coach with MLS experience or with (save your outrage everyone) EPL or League 1 experience. The MLS game is as close to the direct, shut-down style of the English game as I've ever seen.

I've actually thought a good Manager from the Championship of First Division would be an interesting shot - someone that has experience building a team with a limited budget, and getting an average group of players winning.

This team is horrible.
There are some serious questions everyone has on their mind:

1. How come Eckersley isn't staring?
2. Why doesn't Yourrasowky get a look at left back?
3. Why doesn't Plata get more of an opportunity?
4. Why does Dan Gargan still get to see the field for TFC?
5. Why do Harden and Peterson still get to play?

Hmmm, let's see. "We didn't compete."

Somethign inscisive like that.

We need a stable first team. We had a central defence pairing, attakora and cann, that worked well together. we have a decent back in yourrasowsky (that handball notwithstanding) and another one who looks like he might be ok in eckersley.

We have several players who could slot in in the middle who are defensively more competent, but instead he starts Peterson. He keeps starting a striker, Maicon, in the hole, even though he can't really feed the ball. The only place where we're actually semi-solid is winger, and even there we have two individuals who, I think, want to be strikers.

Right now, if I go to another team and I have my pick of Toronto players, based on performance the only guys I take are Gordon, Stevanovic and Frei -- maybe Martina and JDG.

But Harden, Gargan, Peterson, Sturgis, Boreman, -- these guys do not have the football intelligence to start at this level. From the little I've seen so far, I'd add Dicoy Williams to that pile.

For two-thirds of last season. Remember, we had a 10-game unbeaten streak at one point last year. Then we went something like eight straight without scoring a goal. But the one thing we did have was a solid central pairing.

Now, that might well have been because the team was so defensive generally, but it sure would beat this constant rotation.
