Hopefully the boys will pull out a spoiler,

Who would have thought year three would have been our best and still a failure?

Come on you reds.

Pretty happy with this line up, Morgan is young enough he will have no problem playing another full 90 on Tuesday. Would like to see Koevermans come off the bench in the 70th min to warm up a bit after his slight injury.

Califf is a dirty bastard.

10-15-2011, 03:18 PM
Johnson is hobbling. This looks like a 4-1-4-1 which is not a bad idea considering the shellacking the team suffered the last time they met. Theres just the one question of whether Johnson will be able to last the entire game.

The design of this stadium is ridiculous. I hope if TFC build a roof it doesnt look like the Nasca Lines during a day game.

Stop the stuped facking pass-arounds & back-heels in front of our goal when Philly is pressing that high. They burned us so many times in Toronto on those plays. Also, no DM coming back far enough to pick up the ball from the D.

CSO_BBTB
10-15-2011, 03:56 PM
Suspect Ty Harden is getting the hairdryer treatment from Aron Winter. Bad pass from Kocic but crazy to do what he did. Playing decent up to that point. All this team needs is more quality at the back.

half time at Philly interviewer said they were confused by Toronto's tactics early on...so Winter with what he's got outsmarted them...too bad no back end,...also on the thread someone pointed out Frings was screaming at Iro....just before goal...Frings has to stop being a bandaid for our back-end...and it seems noone is getting up for the many excursions of Soolsma into the corner. He has noone to cross to.

There are two good options at LW with Plata back in the lineup, so Winter can afford to leave Johnson in the game today, and save Plata for Tuesday.

Kocic is a bit erratic in handling the ball. His positioning is a bit lacking as well. Does anyone think those are things that can be fixed with experience?

Kocic is definitely a good shot stopper, but his technique is always erratic. He is working harder than Frei thats for sure. Frei has turned into a softie and his concentration is a bit lacking when the team allows a goal.
