Great looking stream, thanks!
(the first one)

Anything other than a TFC victory would be a HUGE disappointment for me!

It's the 5 th game since Frings and Koev are here, and a win in a regular MLS game is way overdue for the new TFC

GO REDSSSSS! :scarf:

Unlucky for us for it to hit Frings and unlucky for them it hit the bar.

Man Plata is being selfish today

TFC USA
08-13-2011, 06:42 PM
Plata has been our best player so far

MarkoftheDrink
08-13-2011, 06:44 PM
Confetti!!

Yeah who's bright idea was it to put down a layer of that shit in our attacking 18 yard box? Idiots. Just hope Borman didn't pull anything.

On the bright side the 3-4-3 looks good so far. I think knowing there are only 3 men on the back line gets the rest of the team to trackback more.

Dkolish3
08-13-2011, 06:45 PM
Plata has been our best player so far

Maybe but two times instead of crossing it to a player who had a great chance to have a shot on goal, he tried to cut in on his favored foot for a shot and wound up losing the ball

Frings is really not lucky today.

We're playing better than RSL yet they've had the better chances.

Borman is a defender after all...

therefore the issue remains in the backline lol.

Borman is just useless.

Anyone has the same opinion that we are crossing too much, instead of trying to approach more the goal?

Early cross can catch a defensive line standing still sometimes but we are definately doing it too much...personally I think Stinson is doing quite well today, would just like to see him go 1v1 sometimes

LesH
08-13-2011, 07:07 PM
Not bad, but not to good either in the 1st half.
Are we headed into a draw again?

TFC07
08-13-2011, 07:08 PM
Sub in Henry and Morgan for Iro and Borman.

Later on the game, sub JDG or Stinson for Dunfield or Martina


Overall, not a bad half but our backline looks bad at times. Iro shouldn't be starting! He's too slow and can't pass while can't defend (low soccer IQ?)

08-13-2011, 07:09 PM

Kocic, Ecks, Frings and Plata: excellent performance.

Harden did well coming in. Putting Henry in for Stinson turned out to be a very wise move. Henry was great in his short time on the field.

Martina really hasn't done much apart from home opener vs. Portland.

RSL fell prey to a Bench GK and a bunch of 18 yr olds (+3 dps)

RSL must feel bad about this.
They were the better team, had more clear chances.

In the first half, I would say TFC played better than RSL.

RSL picked it up in second half, but TFC somehow manage to beat them with a soft goal.

Actually, I think TFC was the better team- and should've won 3-1 with all the opportunities.

Any team would push in the end like RSL, and is no indication of them being the better team

Going 3-4-3 was risky but it paid off. Interesting formation.

Borman had a shocker though. Morgan would have been better but I assume it's squad management.

i get confused. Is Morgan from the academy or Borman?

Morgan is from the Academy, Borman was Acquired via Trade from NYRB I believe.

There was someone in the air that night
Who's utter shite
Rimando...

A very impressive, gutsy performance tonight. Well done.



Very impressive?
We agree to disagree.

The attack was weak today.

How many saves had Rimando and how many Kocic?
The last 10 minutes were cvasi-total RSL domination, all the play going on almost in our last 25% of the field.

Based on the stats. Four shots on target each.

Yep, that usually happens when you try defending a lead.

Its obvious that TFC is still a work in progress. The Backfield needs a influx of talent. A solid CB or 2 is desperately needed either that or a couple current CBs need to step up and show that they can be competent consistently. I really hope Eck is somehow brought back as he easily is our best defender... hopefully Burnley decide that they are better off without him... or completely forget about him. Borman has been decent at LB I'd like to see more consistency in his decision making though.

Who cares. We won the game. We should be proud. Sure there are things we need to fix and improve on, but the final score tells the story.
