Anything less than 10 and I will be disappointed

This is the whole dilemma in a nutshell, right here. Very tough. How do you ever play the Impact and not give it your all?

Sigh.

Well if they want anything out of this tournament, they will have to give it their all. And everything indicates this team wants to win this thing.

BUT
Changes to matches, times and opponents ticking me off!

This is only good. They better be embarrassed, and they better flatten Montreal.

"looking forward to playing tomorrow"

How come?
You posted this yesterday (Tuesday), and the game should be Thurday as initially scheduled.
Or they have rescheduled is for today, Wednesday???

As noted in the previous posts, things may be confusing:
- TFC scheduled to play their 2nd match tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. (1st match was on Monday not Sunday)
- and Vancouver gets to play 1st match tonight vs SJ at 9:00 p.m.

While I assume Osorio & Altidore are probably both still out, part of me would love to see this starting line-up tomorrow night!

---------------------Westberg--------------------
--Auro---Gonzalez--Mavinga--Morrow-----

--Piatti-----Pozuelo--------Osorio----

Too attacking?

Much as it pains me, I think we have to play Ciman at the back.

If he's not motivated after his last game and with the way he was shuffled out of Montreal he needs to be cut. ASAP.

No thanks if we can help it. Gonzalez and Mavinga issues were just hydration/heat related issues causing cramping and Vanney doesn't see them having an issue starting on Thursday so I would prefer we stick with them instead of spinning the lucky wheel to see what Ciman brings us that day. I think the bigger issue we have in the lineup for the backline sounds like Justin Morrow. His issue needs rest to resolve and not games/training. I have had achilles tendinitis before and it would feel better until you started running and all that then it would flare up with pain so if that is the case for him he will be able to play as much as he can tolerate the pain so not great situation to know you have to sub out a defender every game. They should probably just start Laryea to give his tendinitis time to heal.

--Auro---Gonzalez--Mavinga--Morrow-----

That’s exactly what I want to see. These are our 11 best players except for maybe Laryea who can’t start because of Auro. I’d just have Piatti and Oso a little higher

---------------------Westberg--------------------
--Auro---Gonzalez--Mavinga--Morrow-----
—————---Delgado--------Bradley---------------
-————————--Pozuelo--------
—————Piatti———————Osorio
------————--------Altidore------------------

Pozuelo’s greatest skill is his ability to create and find people ahead of him and put them in dangerous scoring opportunities. It makes no sense to have him as a number 9. He needs to be in the Vazquez number 10 Role with wingers or strikers ahead of him that he can find

Osorio is not a winger but he’s one of our best players. I’ve thought about an Osorio+Akinola for Gressel trade if Gressel doesn’t settle at D.C but right now we have to figure out a formation that is more clinical in the final third

Endoh is a good possession player and he works hard but he can’t finish. Osorio is to slow to be a winger but he can finish. Deleon can finish and he can be used as a winger but doesn’t have as good durability and tends to get over looked as a starting option. Laryea excels at RB not winger. I’d like to see Deleon given a shot and then Osorio back in the 11 when he’s good to go

If we can’t execute the winger based format because we only have 1 elite winger (Piatti who is often injured) then that strategy needs to be dropped and we go back to 4-4-2 which people forget we have won a championship with the 4-4-2 before management became obsessed with a winger based approach

I believe they said on the broadcast Monday morning that Osorio is on schedule to be ready for the third game.

Honestly when healthy wouldn’t mind seeing a 4-4-2. Either way someone has to play a position that isn’t there strength so in a 4-4-2 Piatti plays his second best position as a striker instead of winger

—-——-Piatti-Altidore
—————Pozuelo
———Osorio——Bradley
———-——Delgado
J-mo-Mavinga-Gonzo-Auro

My only quibble is Bradley and Delgado. Bradley will just go there so you will have 2 guys occupying the same space. Delgado is mor mobile so I would move him up the diamond.

So many of our midfielders just roam I kinda think it is just Jozy in front of the midfield blob with a JMo Mavinga Gonzo Auro backline.

Pants are overrated. When people do wear them in the COVID era I can't help but notice most of them have an elastic waistband though. Trackpants business is booming I bet...

Also, why no beers in home office? Could make meetings more interesting.

Predictions:

When/if tonight goes bad for one of these two teams, there will be at least 1 red card & some serious nastiness. Heat, away from home, pressure, Covid worries and then losing to the hated rival? Will be ugly.


If we lose, the meltdown in here will be somewhat muted but still painful.

i think if the coach has no belief in Altidore, then we might as well get rid of him, freeing up a dp spot, or else there is a bigger issue which is not being disclosed, no way you rest your dps in these tournaments, it may be a costly mistake, at least put him on the bench

If Jozy wasn't fit for any reason, would he really announce it on podcast (originally) two days prior to the game? I don't think this is solid proof of anything, but who knows...

OgtheDim
07-16-2020, 07:17 PM
Kristian Jack alluding to TFC wanted Jozy back in training earlier but Province wouldn't let him - so he lost a week of training.

In essence, he's 25 days of training behind the rest of the team.

My favourite was when Gonzalez got beat for pace on the first goal and the comment is Westburg should be out sweeping (like 45 yard from goal on an inch perfect pass).

Until now the 1.5 games of this tournament showed that we have a great attack ( even without Jozy) and a horrible defense.
During any game I wont trust in a TFC win without at least a 3 goal lead, until in at least 2 prior matches in row we won't show decent defense.

No way he subs Mavinga or Gonalez unless they are hurt.

Ciman is less of a liability as a central D in a 3 back line but he's still a liability. Not sure what is going on here but the change of shape better release the WB's.

Akinola is putting himself on the map in this tournament.

Crazy game. Those 3 points are huge though. Gonna have to rest up and tighten things up before New England. The Revs are far superior to the Impact.

Good win. Great performances again from Pozuelo and Akinola. However, we really need to sort out the centre back positions or we arent going to do anything this season. "We'll score more than you" can be entertaining, but it doesnt win you titles.

Take it and run.

Tournament football. Into the final 16 and not too worried about how the next game goes.

Admittedly 2 of them were stupid pens

The Ciman one was definitely harsh. Mavinga's was deserved, in my opinion.

Gallardo can't get garbage mins in this gae.

But Dorsey over Canadian players on the bench? Is he better than the Canadians?

Dorsey is the only one who can play fullback.

Anyone else get the sense that Pozuelo and Piatti have formed a bit of a bro-mance? They take every kick together (even corners), and feel like Piatt tries to pass it to Pozo every single time he gets the ball. The Spanish language definitely helps as well as the fact they're probably the two most technically skilled players on the team.

Play the kids next game, definitely rest auro, Bradley.

Start Fraser, Gallardo.

Bring in Osorio, Jozy as subs to get them ready for the playoffs.

They were both a bit careless and deserved in my opinion. Made the game much closer than it needed to be.

On a positive note, I thought Laryea looked fantastic in his first start at LB and Auro had another great game. We just need Mavinga and Gonzalez to settle in and play to their capabilities and our backline should be solid enough moving forward.

It's a regular season game too though. And we've already dropped 4 points.

Right.

Play the strongest 11 and work in needed subs.

fun game to watch minus some shoddy defending. I like Piatti a lot. Looks like he and pozuelo could develop into a pretty lethal combo. There are lots of things to be happy about after watching that game.

I'll also just say that while I was skeptical about this tournament before, I am enjoying it. Having gone through months of zero sports, it's comforting to be able to watch one of my clubs in action again. also I like the on field audio.

Thinking out loud here: we look so stacked through midfield and in the front 6 it almost seems like a problem.

How would we balance playing time of 3 in-form strikers if not for Achara’s injury? Can you keep all our wingers / fullbacks / Osorio / Delgado / Fraser / etc... happy?

To me the solution is clear: trade away some some of that quality on the attacking side and in return shore up the CB ranks so we don’t have to imminently worry about bomb scare defending the second we make a sub.

Until injuries, lack of form hits and then scrambling for depth. But I'm okay with that. The kids need to play. We just need to accept that playing the kids might mean lack of trophies/success.

What are the odds a regular season event continues after this? 50%? I would still play most of the regular starters.

Westburg
Layrea-OMar-Mavinga-Morrow
Delgado-Fraser-Pozuelo
Piatti-Ayo-Gallardo

Subs Osorio, Nelson, Jozy etc

Please never use the term "Whitecaps" when describing TFC. ;-)

Sorry if our post was confusing to you.
Whitecaps was not used to describe TFC.
It was a reference to another MLS team in Canada.
All three Canadian teams are playing in this MLS is Back Tournament.

I can't see the regular season continuing after the tourney. They will face the same obstacles that MLB and NFL are having and the MLS doesn't generate the same amount of income from broadcast and sponsorship.

The 2 goals suffered against DC were on Ciman. Yesterday, even if a tad harsh, one was also on Ciman.
Let him go. Trade someone from the midfield to get us TWO decent substitutes at the back. Omar is slowing down too.

You might be trading a young player in return for a sturdy but unspectacular CB who is ready to contribute today. We would just have to accept we might kick ourselves a few years down the road if that young player works out. Yet, if we kept that player, we might not develop them anyway (given lack of available minutes).

We were once offered a “six figure” fee for Okello. Hard to tell if we are any better off for having kept him on board. Not really clear what we have and it doesn’t look like we will be finding out anytime soon.

Noble Okello is turning 20 in 3 days. I'd say there is still more than enough time to figure it out.

Ayo's 3rd goal. Should there not have been a foul prior to the goal? He took out the Montreal defender and neither one had the ball. AFAIK shoulder to shoulder doesn't count when it's off the ball/not making an attempt on the ball.

Well I dunno, Mavinga also touched the ball before contacting the Montreal player on the penalty, so I'm not going to worry about it.

And if in doubt, I would say BLOCK, NO CHARGE! ;)

Shoulder to shoulder & with a little arm involved - that's a foul in some leagues but rarely in MLS where we just call it "strength".

No way they trade Ciman. Remember the reason he signed here was because it's closest to Montreal where he lives because of his daughters care. Montreal was ripped when they traded him after promising not to. MLSE will ride it out rather than take the negative publicity.

Given the unlikely nature of TFC playing a home game again this season, which puts the season into serious doubt, the team should stand pat.

I'm glad that's not a foul in MLS. I really don't mind a little shoulder-to-shoulder action.
