Vanney indicating starters will be playing the 90. This game should give us a good idea of what to expect.


Out

Altidore

Beitashour

Warner

This should essentially be our opening day lineup. I wonder what is done up front... gomez as a straight swap for altidore or will we see babouli or hamilton get a spot upfront?

I didn't hear that Beitashour was injured but I guess that explains why I haven't seen him in any of the preseason stuff yet. Do we know what the issue is and how long he is out? Aside from him and Altidore I guess the rest of the main unit will be playing so good to see. I like Babouli's speed, workrate and ability. I think him on the left, Endoh on the right and Seba in the middle could be a pretty fast and agressive front 3 unless we need a target type of guy with more experience then maybe Gomez would fit that bill better. Looking forward to the game.

Starting XI: Blake; Fabinho, Anderson, Tribbett, Rosenberry; Carroll, Nogueira; Pontius, Ilsinho, Fernandes; Sapong

They are expecting big things of Sapong this season.

Ilsinho is the Brazilian guy they just got who got 2 yellows in 50 minutes the other night.

Not convinced by this 4-3-3. Giovinco is completely wasted up top for one - I think he had like 5 touches and only one shot. If we are playing 4-3-3 he needs to be at LW.

Bradley is playing incredibly deep, which has never worked. I don't know why we're trying this again. He needs to play more advanced and in the thick of things.

I still feel like we'd be better off with 2 strikers and a 4 man midfield. Play Cheyrou or Johnson as a dedicated #6 and tell them to never advance past any of our other midfielders. Bradley can roam in CM and be flanked by Osorio, Cheyrou or Endoh, then have Giovinco and Altidore up top.

On an individual level, Endoh looks quite good for a rookie. Bloom looks very much like a backup RB.

SoccMan2
02-27-2016, 05:00 PM
Let's play Giovinco where he found success last year, furthermore this team still does not convince me defensively yet , one thing they must improve immensely if this team is going to be a contender, this team has been one of the worst teams defensively almost every season, no wonder they have been a disaster almost every year,and last yearjust because they made that one game knockout thing was still a disaster in my eyes with that crappy defensive record once again, and that disaster of a game versus Montreal in that knockout game.

Stress
02-27-2016, 05:02 PM
Yeah, Bloom is playing poorly. He's definitely not the answer at RB. Hopefully beitashour can get fit and remain so for most of the season.

Endoh,continues to impress on both sides of the ball.

Johnson and Cheryou have looked underwhelming too. Having both on the pitch doesn't look like it'll work. With Jozy back I imagine one drops to the bench.

Overall not a promising half leading into our season opener. Hopefully they pull it together in the 2nd and beat a below average MLS side.

Ajax TFC
02-27-2016, 05:03 PM
Bradley can't play DM. Bradley in DM IS the problem with the midfield. You need someone in that position who can move the ball quickly and accurately. Bradley does neither of those things. If they swapped Cheyrou and Bradley the midfield would be a lot more effective. I really don't get why we're back to this though. Vanney tried it last year with the same results, and ended up switching Cheyrou to DM and things improve a lot

He's starting to roam a lot more in search of the ball. Which I like to see, but then there's a big hole in the middle when he's off somewhere else. In a 4-4-2 variant he can go where he wants without ruining the shape.

02-27-2016, 05:54 PM
I agree the midfield doesn't look good. TFC have absolutely no chance of moving the ball through the midfield reliably, except sometimes up the wings. (They've also had about 15 minutes spread between the two halves where they had some useful possession of the ball.) However I don't think Cheyrou at DM would be the answer either. Although he would be good at starting the offence from the back, he's much too slow for the defensive work. Opponents would be blowing by him all day.

I don't know what to say. Johnson at DM? Although he's not passing well today either. (I feel we never really replace Laba in DM, nor Guevara in the attacking midfield...)

Obviously the goal was a huge Perquis screw up. There were couple of other defensive & DM turnovers by TFC, that could have been goals against with a better opponent. However alot of that is also due to the difficulty with moving the ball through the midfield. Most of the time the defenders have no useful outlet for the ball. Eventually they try useless long balls, or screw up with a difficult pass in the middle of the park.

Result doesn't matter (especially conceding off a terrible individual mistake). Philly created two good chances themselves, the Irwin save off the crossbar and the ball whipped across the box from the right. Otherwise we did well defensively, so that's good (2nd half especially - they got nothing besides the Perquis turnover).

Offensively it was not encouraging stuff. Giovinco shouldn't play in the middle in a 4-3-3, he doesn't touch the ball enough. Bradley is wasted playing as deep as he is. Osorio isn't much of a winger (he did a lot better moving back into midfield in the 2nd half).

I just can't shake the feeling this 4-3-3 is a mistake.

OgtheDim
02-27-2016, 05:58 PM
Well Seba is ready, as is Moor and Irwin. Osorio looks lively. Babouli and Endoh doing some good stuff but a few missed passes, most likely due to not being quite ready for the increase in opposing player quality. Morrow did OK.

Bloom looks like a guy who took a whole year off. Beitashour back please. Perquis did OK, but that brain fart - ugh.

As for the 3 starts in midfield, that just looked messy. Things settled once Cheyrou went off and Johnson could settle.

I would hope Vanney recognized this today and only didn't put Gomez in because that would have meant stealing minutes from Endoh or Babouli since Giovinco would have moved to LW. If we start Giovinco in the middle against RBNY we're setting ourselves up for a frustrating afternoon IMO.

this makes sense, except Atlidore is simply not a full season player , ever again, and Gomez who? I am put to sleep at the best of times by Mr Vanney, but his stance on Gomez is baffling . So , realistically this 4-3-3 theory is not sustainable . But I did like the way Bradley played at Dm when we had the lead . Oh ya we never had it . Again not sure what his huge salary actually brings to the team , that a journeyman DM , who has a controlling , pass oriented game could do . I have not seen a team with everyone on the same page yet , this season . And yes it is preseason but bad touches , passes to nowhere, lack of speed in important areas all cannot be written off as simply preseason . It seems problem areas of the past seem to carry over and anticipated improvement is lacking . Goaltending looks great , we'll need it .

and your bashing of users views are spot on , cute names too

I don't think I bashed anybody's views. I said that constant negative posts from the same user upset me. Don't believe me, look at said user's post history.

Peace, call me crazy but I find his posts refreshing, and cleansing my frustrations of same old , same old impotency ........I really want to believe the powers to be, have this team and my support of it in their best interests but if you want to talk history ......lets look at our past seasons ......

BTW soccman2 , it would benefit you greatly to join Red Patch Boys .....where your opinions would be respected in a appreciated way ..... you'll find that discussion doesn't transfer that well on the forum , but after a beer at Joe's or at the game ...everyone is crazy opinionated and happy to be together . Then there's Ivy (just kidding)

No I'm not enjoying myself actually, I will start to enjoy myself when this team is able to have a few good seasons like the Red Bulls have or even like our good friends the Crew have had over the years or a few other teams in the league until then I'm going to be a miserable son of a bitch like I have since day one. Moreover, and now since the beloved Argos have now invaded the stadium I'm in an even more crappier mood if this team does not do much better than the so called successful season that was supposedly last season.

"Doctor it hurts when I do this!"

"Maybe stop doing that."

If you feel its your cause to be an oppressive and constant negative Nelly then it's on you, man. Try focusing on one disappointment at a time and not invoking the entire history of the team with every post.

Most of us have been here. We've felt it, too.

And Pre-Season is the best time to practice since it really doesn't matter as much.

Just a tip to lower your blood pressure. It's a long season ahead, man.
