TFC vs LAG, Man of the Match

[Roogsy]

Last night provided some real positive moments for several players. Ryan Johnson's beautiful poach to get things started. Silva's brilliant header than almost seemed to overwhelm him. Platita testing the Galaxy defenders. Frings with two assists and overall tough play.

Who was your man of the match?

noooooope :drinking: :D

[Roogsy]

Frings was my choice. Two assists and playing all over the field including marshalling the back line.

exactly why he was my choice... Silva played a really good game aswell and thats not even taking into account his sweet header to the far post

[Roogsy]

Very impressed with Silva. Looked like a pro. Great draft.






(And he's Latino! :hurray: )

[ArmenJBX]

Luis Silva, but Torsten Frings was pretty damn good as well.

[brad]

Frings, hands down. Two assists, fantastic passing through out, positionally spot on all match, saved what looked to be a goal off the line (was hard to tell from my vantage if it was going in or if Frei had it though). Best player on the field for me.

[brad]

Silva - not quite for me, but man was I impressed with him. Fantastic goal, great movement off the ball, good vision and passing ability, looks to be able to hold the ball. All of that on his pro debut in front of a crowd that size.

[Oblio2]

Frings.....No doubt.
As he goes, is how our season goes this year.....

[PearceCFC]

Frings. without a doubt.

[JonO]

Very impressed with Silva, but has to be Frings for me. Hate to think of what the score could have beed had he not played...

[Yohan]

Frings. couldn't ask more from that guy. though I don't think the 1st goal counts as an assist as it bounced off a LA defender...

Frings is just a beast!

His passing is always pin point accurate, especially when switching play to the other side. Its tough enough to put the ball percisely where you want it, and I'm sure Plata's height doesn't make it any easier crossing to the lines without fear of putting too much on it and sailing out for a throw.

[TOBOR !]

oh, snap.

[Belfast_Boy]

Frings! hands down!
loved watching Platta do his thing too.

can't wait for my Frings Player of the Year scarf.

[Ageroo]

92% - Luis Silva completed 92% of his passes, won 100% of his duels and scored a goal vs LA Galaxy. Natural. #TFC (https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23TFC) #CCL (https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23CCL)

That is all...........

No more tolls, I am sick of them.

[Juanito]

^^

Yeah, I'm sick of paying tolls when I'm on the freeway.

Do you mean POLLS?! ;)

[Juanito]

Frings was hands down the best TFC player on the pitch. The man is a beast. He is so calm under pressure.

[tfcleeds]

Although Frings would seem to be the obvious choice, I picked Silva. What a debut for the rookie. Showed all the poise of a veteran out there.

yeah I hate Polls too

[Laiping]

Frings!!!

[Waggy]

No more tolls, I am sick of them.

A toll is a toll. And a roll is a roll. And if Roogsy don't get no tolls, Roogsy don't eat no rolls. (I made that up meself)

[Ben - D.O.W.]

I picked Morgan. I don't think he played better than Frings but I thought he 'punched above his weight' in keeping Donovan out of the game for the most part. Plus I thought he could use a little love and deserved at least one vote.

How very droll.

Saw you in stands, couldn't make it to your row to give you MTL tickets. Home opener?

[Whoop]

Frings.

[__wowza]

MOTM: frings
PSHMALUTTHKOW*: silva

*Pleasantly Surprised He May Actually Live Up To The Hype Knock On Wood

[Auzzy]

Frings. He has the uncanny ability to know exactly where the ball is going to end up, long before it actually arrives. As a result he makes so many clean headers, often w/o even needing to jump, or clearances/passes with his feat, just through proper positioning & standing his ground. Plus all the other stuff mentioned above.

Morgan was also great as mentioned, really punching above his weight.

Silva is also great. He had some very soft shots though. I know he can shoot better than that -- saw it in pre-season for example. Some combination of the plastic turf, and big-game jitters, affected him last night. I'm sure we'll see better.

Next week I hope Silva + JDG can boss the midfield a bit more, together with Frings in whatever role he plays.

[Pinkie]

frings. amazing. saved our bacon time and time again.

[jloome]

I gotta go with Silva. He's a hell of a player.

[T-boy]

I know nobody seems to agree with me on this, but Frings as a defenders is a MASSIVE player for TFC. I KNOW we got him here as a midfielder, but at the backline he find so much time and space and really knows how to dictate the pace of the game. Some of is passing from the back was outstanding last night, and none of our other central defenders can do the things Frings does with the ball.

There will be times Frings can play in midfield, but at sweeper/centre back Frings is outstanding!

[ACSertL]

I voted Frings for all the reasons that everyone in here has already mentioned.


A toll is a toll. And a roll is a roll. And if Roogsy don't get no tolls, Roogsy don't eat no rolls. (I made that up meself)

Also this is a fantastic reference.

[jazzy]

Ashtone Morgan...controlled the wing and Ladycakes,.and had numerous crosses right on the money toooo....oh ya NOBODY ran up to the far corner to get the gifts.....just a wonderful lad from TO....Ok maybe Frings was the elder statesman but his spirit I know he would pass the hat. Ryan played one of his best games ever, as well,...and what can you say about Silva.....a keeper, I'd say. So much joy, and we missed JDG BIG time . Dare I say if he played we'd have won what with the effort of the squad. He'd have defensively contolled our end giving Frings a lift.......very proud day, A team is found ,.our team

[T-boy]

We really DID miss JDG. I don't mind Dunfield, but he isn't as mobile as JDG. Dunfield is "functional" rather than anything fancy. JDG has a change of pace and vision that Dunfield never could have. Dunfield looks like he's be a good enforcer, but he never really does...enforce enough?

[iy12l]

I know this is off topic but did you guys see Morgan fight with those la players :)... i think morgan can be the mls version of Gattuso, Ibrahimovic, or Roy Keane. The amount of energy and speed he has is incredible too

[ginkster88]

I voted Frings because Germany.


FTFW

[Redcoe15]

YESSS!!! I chose Frings. Even in my drunken otherworldly state from 117, I could tell that Frings was solid throughout, being in the right place at the right time, just being stand up.

[ensco]

Obviously it was Frings, but I voted Morgan because it was his finest game as a pro, on the biggest stage, and he deserves the pat on he back.

[mdc 77]

Ashtone Morgan, very impressive.

[JuliquE]

^^

Yeah, I'm sick of paying tolls when I'm on the freeway.

Do you mean POLLS?! ;)
Looking at my keyboard, he's a lot closer to meaning "trolls" than "polls." ^^'

[Red Rat]

I hate Tolls, Polls and Trolls

[LesH]

Of course Frings!
Nobody could come even close to him as MOM for TFC.

One question to the person who nominated Danny K: are you joking, right?

[flatpicker]

Come on guys!
Frings needs some more votes!
We can't let him lose this.

[jabbronies]

MOTM for me was Frings - No questions about it:

To the tune of "The Imperial March"

FRINGS, FRINGS, FRINGS, TORSTEN FRINGS, TORSTEN FRINGS
FRINGS, FRINGS, FRINGS, TORSTEN FRINGS, TORSTEN FRINGS

FRINGS, TORSTEN FRINGS, HE WILL CHEW YOU UP, AND THEN
HE WILL SPIT YOU OUT, DON'T FUCK WITH THE FRINGS!

FRINGS, TORSTEN FRINGS, HE WILL CHEW YOU UP, AND THEN
