They blew the lead at SJ. I doubt they even think they'll get a result from us at this point.

Teams seem to find an extra gear against us usually (Chicago notwithstanding) and want to test their mettle against us. They'll play hard, I think.

Every time we are playing a truly shit team, it's a trap!
See the examples of Colorado and Washington.
I think the team still has a problem mentally... to concentrate enough when playing these shit teams.

And yes, the final standings will be greatly influenced by how all the "better" teams handled the "shit" teams over the length of the season.

This is the first midweek CNE game in a while - there's going to be a boatload of people hoping to get in late with season's that are going to be frustrated at the CNE entrance lineups.

Andre Blake starting his first game since his hand was cut at the Gold Cup.


Philly has two major issues



they have nobody pulling the strings in midfield as a #10
their defence sucks


We should be winning this one. If this team is to be taken seriously as a great team, it needs to pummel teams like this at home. I think Jozy & Vasquez sit for this one and I think Seba is told to keep his mouth shut to avoid a 5th yellow for Sunday.
I also think Mavinga might get a day off, although Moor and Herneandez vs. Sapong would be a challenge. We might also see Edwards in for Morrow.

Geiger is the VAR, I wonder how he will manage to fuck over TFC and fix a win for the Union, you know that MLS want NYFC to win the Supporter's Shield. So TFC have to fuck over MLS. They can't call back every goal, so score a boatload!!!

With the Montreal game coming up on short rest (assuming best starting XI with Beita starting for revenge) i think there will be rotation for this game:

Irwin
Hasler-Zavaleta-Moor-Mavinga-Edwards
Osorio- Bradley - Chapman
Hamilton - Giovinco

...although Altidore probably wants the start...

Really curious what the lineup will. Jozy def wants to play and bag a goal. If he is rested I see Rickets getting a look instead of Hamilton.

If we are rotating I still want to see one of Vasquez or Delgado in the lineup. Need that spark they can bring.

These are games that the "deepest MLS team ever" and "best MLS team ever" win without question. Idea of a trap game shouldn't even be a thought. Good opportunity to showcase depth and save some legs for Sunday. Gio and Jozy should watch this one from the Ferris wheel !!

I wonder if philly has to rotate anyone. They played sat, wed, sat as well. Had plane issues coming from California. They have Atlanta on the weekend at home. Don't know their squad enough to speculate about depth tho. Maybe no depth to rotate.

Yohan
08-23-2017, 11:28 AM
TFC has to manage game mins of starters so that they don't burn out during playoffs. The depth guys need game mins too. Some rotation is prudent, esp considering Mtl game on Sat.

Philly sucks esp away. Cut the supply to Sapong and watch their CMs trip over each other because they all like to occupy the same space. And their defence blows. I hope Yaro plays again so that he gets torched.

MightyDM
08-23-2017, 12:04 PM
I think it would be very smart for Vanney to show some rotation. First of all, to keep the current starters on their toes. Secondly to keep players sharp. And thirdly to give people who have played well in limited minutes a reward: like Oso and Chapman. Also, the first team was poor in the two games against weak opponents. A touch complacent, perhaps? Would help fight any of that to have players who want minutes badly get some. Final point: Philly seems to be good in the air (or perhaps plays more longballs). Either way, it's too bad Hagglund is hurt. His presence would be very effective in this game. Edwards next best bet for presence in the box, at least in the attacking end.

ronzilla
08-23-2017, 01:55 PM
At this point, the team still needs to push for wins. The second string players got a fair share of minutes from injured starters, absent DPs, etc and there are still plenty of games left. Vanney is doing a decent job of rotating players thus far and making drastic changes to the starting 11 will do more harm than good. I think Hamilton and Irwin are 2 players that are starved for minutes.

Hamilton's been scoring for TFC II, I wouldn't mind him getting some minutes tonight.

Looks like we're going with a 4-4-2 line-up. Happy with this approach as we can get an extra man forward if they do bunker. Nice to mix things up every now and then too.

OK, so in the last 2 matches played against shitty teams (COL and WAS) TFC shat the bed.
Tonight something like that is NOT as option.

No matter how many reserve players will be starting today, if we can't beat Philly, it means that TFC has a very serious mental problem when playing weak opponents.

It's safe to say Vanney is an incredible coach. We can dominate with whoever steps on the field, can dominate while being flexible with different formations and the team morale is incredible. No problems within the team, new signings like Hasler blushing and lovIng the team during his interview. Guys like osorio getting limited playing time doesn't say a peep for 3 months and steps in for a great half. Vasquez letting Gio take the free kicks. The inter changing of passes and everyone knowing where everyone is. Beautiful soccer

PizzaEatingYeti

First half was a beauty to watch.
Please score 1 more in the second half, make it a 3 goal win... don't try to sit back!
I want to see Edwards on the field, at least for 25 minutes!

A word about Hasler:
About 10 days ago someone posted after Hasler's first 2 games that he's a fantastic player.
I replied quoting him, saying that he's not fantastic, but a very solid player, he is starter material on at least 18 MLS teams.
2 guys were quickly replying that he's just bench player, a backup quality.

So what are you guys saying now?
Not wanting to pick up a fight, just saying! :)
How in the world someone knowing football could not see the quality on this guy even after his 2 first games in the Red's uniform?

This was another very nice signing from the TFC management.

Just a thought on Vanney. Philly played on west coast, short rest , lots of travel. no real time to prepare except that you have to assume you are going to see the TFC 5-3-2. so you talk about it and watch replays. and then Vanney trots out the 4-4-2 diamond....WhAAA?

Philly had just 2 huge chances around the 60th minute, when our defense went a little bit sleeping.
But Bono came up big time... again!

Hey Vanney, you are a very good coach... but tell me what the heck do you have against Edwards almost never playing him.
If I would be Edwards, I would be extremely frustrated because of this.

Not using Edwards in the last 20-25 minutes was the difference between 3-0 and 4-0 tonight IMO.

SURPRISE! He also said he was going to give some other players chances without tipping his hand who leaving Philly not knowing who they were going to play. That made it very difficult for Philly to prepare.

What a ride this is. Lets all just enjoy it. This journey is nowhere near a conclusion yet, not even close. This team tied its season high of 15 wins last night, previously reached in 2015. They are only going to build on this with eight games still to go in the regular season. Amazingly they also tied their single season high of 53 points against the Union.

In many ways I am shaking my head regarding the Reds each and every day. Pinch me now, please don't tell me its a dream ( :

08-24-2017, 01:37 AM
Another excellent performance from the Reds :drum:

I don't think I've ever seen us play a better passing game that I did at spells in that game tonight, particularly in the 1st half. It was truly sublime at times. What a find we have in Hasler, I just hope GV finds a way to balance his playing time with Beitashour so we can maximize the best of both. Several really classy performances throughout the side tonight however it's hard to see past Vasquez as MOTM. Another great acquisition by Vanney and Bezbatchenko. Let's hope he is the piece we were missing last season and is the one who will drive us all the way to a MLS Cup triumph this time round.

Next up are the poutine eaters. Strangely I am more worried about the three ties we have with them, than any of the other regular season fixtures we have left. Still if we play to our best surely our quality will tell in the end. Time to silence that goddamn bell...

Onwards and upwards TFC ... glory awaits you! Make yourself legends! :scarf:

Anyway, it's a lot better than ringing some good damn bell after each goal, or cutting some stupid timber log in smaller stupid pieces.

Disagree. That log is tradition. That bell is plastic with no tradition with Philly in the league. Philly should have a poutine celebration that would make as much sense.


This is like a year-two comment. When the team is getting results like this its viking clap all the way!

Or just a comment from someone not used to forum responses.


I know it got more popular when Iceland would do it after each Euro game last year, but teams have been doing that clap waaaaay before Iceland. Back when I was in 127, the North End Elite would do it every game! On second thought, maybe doing it for the past 8 years IS old.

Ya and U-sec was syncing it with us back then. It's not new Iceland just got the rest of the stadiums attention.

After being proven wrong with overeaction to mavingas debut i have learned to be quiet and trust management. They know what theyre doing hasnt been a bust signing in years

I critized Mavinga after his display in the game vs Atl, but hes been an absolute beast in the back since then making numerous interceptions and crucial tackles. After Jozy's goal last night I havent been that happy and celebrated a tfc goal that much since Gio soccer in the 94 min aganist montreal:drum:

That Iceland cheer is getting old. Come on guys get something fresh and original going.

Man, you are so wrong. We do it once, it gets the whole stadium going. So no. It's not getting old.


Unrelated, but this was an awesome game from start to finish. After so many garbage years, this is really refreshing!

Yeah, it's the one cheer/chant that still gets the whole stadium going all the way to the north end. There is video of us doing this somewhere around year 1/2 so maybe it needs to be renamed.

What a game and a carnival to add to the atmosphere.

I hate the limp-act and fart in their general direction but this isn't quite right. Montreal is known as the city of churches/steeples and therefore church bells. it's perfect for them. Philly had their chance to claim it but they went with some stupid DOOP shit that I still have no comprehension of to this day. and not sure how well a cracked bell rings.
They tried to buy a quebec bell but couldn't find one since they were all still in use so this one is funnily enough american.......
ps I hope their bell is shat on by 3 dozen geese.

That log is tradition.

It actually goes back to the NASL Timbers, who were owned by a lumber firm. It all makes sense if you know the history.

Last night had a bit of a feel of the playoffs to me. Summer is coming to an end, every game means something now...the fun is over and now it's all about winning every 90 minutes. Could feel it in the crowd and the players.

I've said it before, I'll say it again.
The TFC/BMO Field activity after the scoring of a goal should be ..... the construction of a condo. Maybe just the cardboard cut out of a condo? Maybe over top of the Food Building so that it does not obscure any view of the lake (or the game)?

Great game last night, and Hasler is starting to show that Vanney may have a 2-headed monster for the right-wingback spot with Beita.
Feels as though depending on the opponents style Hasler would be the offensive option, and Beita would be the defensive option with one coming in for the other around 60-65 minutes (like the last 2 games).

Osorio showed that even with almost no minutes over the last month that he still has something to contribute to this team off the bench (and spot start where needed). Defensively is what we need to cover to Victor and Bradley to move up the field.

Victor's distribution is still absolutely amazing to view and the way he finds guys on runs that would never have even be thought off during the first few TFC years.
Mavinga is quietly looking to be our defender of the year with his athleticism and recovery speed despite the auspicious start against ATL.
(I feel as though we need to work on a song to the tune of 'Take my Breath Away' by Berlin for either of them)

Jozy and Seba are just BEASTS! 'nuff said.

After every goal we could have one of the Capos line up for 2 hours for brunch

It's amazing how we've been able to slot in a few nee players without missing a beat, and in fact adding a whole new dimension. Like Hasler. I don't even know who someone loke Edwards is going to get any more minutes. And he's shown a lot when he's played.

Sure but you have a step between churches and bells. Philly is known for a bell. I doubt they'd have to actually crack it for authenticity. but whatever.

That Doop is a just a tradition because they did it after goals and put it over their pa system. Half the teams in the league sung that doop before they existed.

Including us.

Back to vic Rauter for a second.

I thought he called a way better game than normal. The goal calls especially.


Also, we have a myriad of terrible chants we should get rid of before the sync clap.

You must find a way to watch the whole game. Most dominant and best quality game ever. Incredible passing at times.

Went to my first game in 3+ year last night after moving to BC. It was great to be back in my old seats in 115, and see a team better than anything I saw in my 8 years attending games. I tried to attach a nice photo here but it doesn't seem that it is possible.

We do need to start a chant for goal scoring. Something that the whole stadium can quickly catch on to. I sit in section 121 and try very hard to follow the chants and participate where ever I can. It's hard though as the sound often bounces around and things get very distorted. Often the different supporter groups are singing the same chat but the timing will be slightly off making it very difficult to follow.

It would be great if something could be coordinated for when goals are scored. Like simply the clap clap clap TFC after each goal or perhaps chanting the name of the goal scorer. The stadium sounds incredible when every starts chanting Sebastion Giovinco. It needs to be something pretty simple that the entire stadium can participate in. (please someone come up with something more creative then what I'm suggesting)

That being said, I really appreciate the atmosphere the supporter sections bring to the game. You guys make the game day experience for all of us and we know it!

Also, can someone tell the guys with the drums in the corner to find somewhere to stick their drum sticks during the Iceland clap.
