After watching their match highlights v SJ I expect Toronto to win this one. Maybe goals go both ways but I'd be disappointed with a draw. This is 3 pts to climb some table!

This is a very interesting match up. Houston are playing full of confidence, while TFC are just starting to find their groove. Obviously on paper we should walk away with an easy 3 points on Friday night. But this Houston team are unpredictable and everytime I think about this game all I seem to come back to is the disappointment of the game in Houston last season where we did everything but put the game to bed. What's your thoughts?

I feel like TFC always shit the bed against Houston. Maybe the home opener a cpl years back and the Defoe penalty miss game are clouding my judgement.

Feels like a frustrating draw coming up

As far as the lineup goes, it will be interesting to see if Vanney keeps Delgado in (hope that he does) and how that will affect Osorio and Cooper (larger contract)

This, especially with both of them missing time for the Gold Cup, would be tough for them to be bench players for April and May.

Houston is undefeated at home, but 2 losses in 2 games on the road. 4-2 loss at Portland and 2-0 loss at New England.

We should win.

Cubo seems to be back to his goal scoring self this year, the back line will have to be aware of him and not give up any space at the top of the box.

I'm hoping Delgado gets the start again

Cubo's goal scoring is unlikely to continue, unfortunately.

This is the first of 5 games over 15 nights. Orlando on Wednesday is the more important game so I suspect there's going to be some lineup changes. Might see Chapman start maybe even Ricketts for Altidore.

Yes. We discussed it in the schedule thread. We're sharing broadcast times with 2 other teams. We are getting the Fridays because last year they were so excited to use those new lights and there was enough positive feedback.

the mid had better shape to it last game, Vazquez certainly looked his most impressive yet. Not sure whether that is due to starting to get fitter and used to the team, or the inclusion of Delgado, maybe both. I know Vaquez shifted over a bit in that game but I do really like the balance Delgado brings

GerMc
04-28-2017, 04:07 PM
I think that the real reason that TFC played so well last week is because my kids were player escorts for the game, and so the players were caught up in their enthusiasm! But I also think that Delgado seemed to gel better with the other players than Cooper or Osorio has. I think he deserves another chance to see if that is real, so I hope that Vanney goes with the same XI as last week. Let's get in the groove and keep the sparks flying!

BTW, my kids walked out with Chicago players, so not sure my theory about them making the difference really works :-)

Great first half, some beautiful football from the Reds tonight.

The captain's been a little loose, and i'm still not 100% sold on Vazquez although I warm to him a little more with each passing game. Edwards has looked lively teaming up well with Morrow down the left flank. Delgado is giving us balance in right midfield and nice to see Jozy and Seba starting really click tonight. Some of their moves are orgasmic

You're not 100% on Vasquez? He has five assists in this last four games. He and Edwards are why we're cutting Houston to Ribbons, along with Delgado's cover.

Satisfactory nights work from the Reds. I'd be lying though if I didnt admit the second half was a disappointment. We seemed content to hold what we had rather than go looking for more goals. Although I understand why Vanney made them, with a game in midweek, the substitutions didnt matters help coming where and when they did. They seemed to interrupt our fluency especially in the middle of the park. For the second week running it gave momentum to our opponents and had Houston been sharper they could have caused us great problems, the last 15 minutes in particular. Another thing that bothers me are these little defensive passing triangles we seem to favour. They only lead to trouble imho. They allow our opponents to push us deeper and deeper into our own half and invariable we end up giving up possession with a wayward pass or being stripped of the ball. We need to realize that offense is often the best form of defence and if needed just clear our lines.

A very welcome three points nevertheless, here's hoping we can made it three out of three on this home stand in midweek against Orlando

I can see he's an intelligent footballer and if everything he tried came off there would be absolutely no question about his talent. The problem is that for every killer pass he completes, another goes wayward. I suppose you could argue if that if he had 100% completion rate he wouldnt be playing in Toronto, which is fair enough. As I said, I'm warming to him. However there's no denying 50% of what he tries is either intercepted or goes astray. Hopefully he can improve that ratio the longer he is with us.

OgtheDim
04-28-2017, 10:38 PM
Great game by Altidore...that second goal interplay with Giovinco was burning. Solid play by the back 3 again (with the exception of a couple of plays in the first half). I think Bradley had a poor game for his standards but he also did his usual cut off the lanes thing that people don't appreciate. And Delgado made some bonehead passes on occasion but his positioning was great. Edwards - still not certain of him defensively and I'd like to see him against a team playing with width - but he is a true wide force and can cross the ball better then any winger we had out there before. Osorio was the best of the 3 subs. Ricketts gonna Ricketts and Cooper's touch was off.

They have to make some changes for Seattle but I could see them going with that starting 11 again vs. Orlando.

Hagglund is doing a great job leading the defense. Today kicked off a run where TFC will play 10 games in 35 days. Depth will be seriously tested. Midfield and forward not a concern. Defense now that Hagglund can lead and Morrow can fill in is not as much of a concern but still the weak link depth-wise.

I seem to recall two games ago engaging with someone in this board who was comparing, if not favouring Osorio's ability to or over Vazquez. I had an opportunity to sit mid field in the first row tonight. A very close view of the play, the communication, organization, the body language and the skills. Vazquez is on par with giovinco as far as ability, skills, and vision go. Any talk of him not starting, or whether or not someone is sold or not on him from this board is just nonesense.

might have been me, because at the time Vasquez had no defensive work rate, so we had three players not defending, which is not sustainable. He is showing more of this now.

But Really my point was Oso should start over Cooper. And now over Delgado, whose giveaways well overshadowed his good moments.

According to the guy in the After90 video, Vazquez successfully hit 83% of his passes tonight (so did Delgado). So, there's that. And he's a boss out there. And he takes lovely corner kicks. And he loves playing for us. And you said he's an intelligent footballer. So, if you don't love him yet, you soon will. He's played in all 8, with 6 starts, 1 goal, and 5 assists! Gotta like him.

About the match tonight. How about a 20-pass sequence that opened Houston up for a lovely 1st goal. Jozy and Seba, wow - that 2nd goal was a like a piece of art I want to hang on my wall and ponder over regularly. I really like the Vazquez-Delgado pairing. And Raheem. The kid was brilliant. Not so much in the last 15, but there was some beautiful football on display.

And, another CLEANSHEET! That 's 4 in 8 matches.

Sorry Mighty, generally I agree with your points but this is one I cannot. Oso lacks the defensive mindfulness and attacking vision that a box to box midfielder requires. Far too many times other teams catch him with his pants down because he's taken one too many touches and ends up turning into a turn over, perfect example was last night, Seba was open to the right of the keeper, Oso had it at the told of the box and held it, he had a clear passing lane but failed to make the pass.

But what would I know, I'm not much of an expert... and the boy has to do something with shorten his socks, does he know he looks like a bit special out there with his tucked in socks?

Fair enough. I saw that pass too and he didn't. I can accept that he has been holding on to the ball too much. But I don't agree with the defensive criticism: his positioning is usually very good and stronger than Cooper and Delgado. However, it's going to be moot I think because Delgado will likely have a run of games now. It does raise an issue though. Who is expendible? Chapman needs some time on the pitch and looked very goo in his brief appearance: lots of once touch. Cheyrou, Endoh.... something has to give, or even two players.

Oso has moments of brilliance I agree with you wholeheartedly.

If you look, Vanney has been rotating over the last few games.

I don't follow training sessions much, but they earn their spots during training don't they? I thought I heard Irwin say that during an interview.

I agree that something is going to give and the bow will break, albeit injuries or a release of a player or 2.

ag futbol
04-29-2017, 01:08 PM
I think there is plenty of room here for all our midfielders. When we get into the V's cup / heavier scheduling part of the season all hands will be on deck. We should have some allowance for injuries as well.

My only real concern on this team is if Beitashour goes down long term because replacements on the right side are not obvious. Watching Endoh in that spot was painful.

Other random thoughts: Ricketts needs to show more in these sub appearances. Edwards if he moves back to the bench he could easily take over that substitute striker role. Some baaad passes from the mids / defenders this game that were not punished but easily could have been.

We are finally showing enough attacking balance to break teams that put a lot of men behind the ball, although I think Houston was balanced in their approach and not too ham fisted about being defensive.

Seen a few people over the start of this season on here questioning Giovinco's desire to still be here.

https://streamable.com/m3aem

To me, watching his celebration after Jozy's first goal is enough to prove that he's all in on this team. The team had a slow start, and so did Gio and I feel like he probably put a lot of the blame on himself for those results.

Initial B
04-29-2017, 01:30 PM
I think some of the fan questioning is due to the decade of PTSD that TFC supporters put up with - it seems when things started coming together, that was just the prelude to things falling apart spectacularly and the start of another rebuild. Many like myself have difficulty believing that all this TFC good news is sustainable and we're just girding ourselves for (what we see as) the inevitable death spiral. It's going to take at least another 5 years before there's enough supporter turnover that good news will be taken as a matter of course.

Two things about the 1st TFC goal:

First of all, Vazquez won't get an assist for that of course. But watch the extended replay of that goal: in addition to the nice passing that Vazquez was involved with, he made an awesome dummy run into the middle after his own pass, dragging a defender with him. That's why Edwards was so completely open before the final pass.


The other thing I wanted to mention: Joe Willis really didn't enjoy that goal... :D
I guess I can't upload an image here unless it's linked from somewhere else on the web... But in the highlights just watch him sitting on the ground, and his facial expressions after that goal. Priceless.

Ssshhhh don't ruin a beautiful thing... :D Yes Edwards was offside. BTW I would argue that Vazquez's run also helped with that, as it would have confused the AR on the other side. With different overlapping movements, it made it harder to spot Edwards' offside position in real-time.

I was told to pass this along if I could.

Was in Section 109 near the top for this game with a bunch who have experience watching sporting events in Scotland and Australia - appreciated Kudos to the drumming at the top of 110. Thanks a bunch. (I think the one phrase was "the Mom is way better than the kid") :drum::thumbsup:

What game were u watching bud. Absolute nonsense.sorry for my bluntness but I can't honestly believe anyone could be critical of his 1st half performance. His passing was sublime in that first half.sure he made if I recall 2 bad passes but that's not bad at any level. What would you prefer?

giovinco had 4 bad giveaway passes. should we bench him?

Vazquez's pass out wide to Raheem on the first goal was brilliant. I have to admit.

Oops it was Delgado apparently. Thought it was Vazquez. That was a superb ball.

It was funny, I had noticed for about 5 minutes leading up to that, Gio was yelling at Delgado and pointing to open space - "be here, be ready" sort of yelling. Ball comes to Gio, he lays it back to Delgado who by now is doing what Gio wants him to do. Then out wide to Edwards and in for Jozy.

After that, I'd bet Marky will do whatever Seb tells him. :D

Another benefit of gio playing a bit further back

Edwards is leaving quite the impression, here's to hoping TFC Academy develops more such young stud homegrowns!
