I hope that Vanney leaves the line up pretty much as it was, we need some consistency. Not saying that we could not plug in a couple of players, but the shape worked, the two DMs shilded the CBs, and we need to try to get a pairing going in the position.
Hoping to see Jackson instead of Delgado at right back, was shakey back there for good portions of the game, prefer him in the middle
^ that is one of the changes I was thinking about.
Would be quite happy to see a right side of Jackson and Gomez.
I'd be happy to see no line up changes for once.
I want to say a game where Giovinco gets to run at Ty Harden should be a win for TFC, but knowing our luck, Ty Harden probably scores a brace for Chicago
So much for the "new coach bounce," Montreal beat Chicago 2-1.

The old sports adage that teams get a bump when coaches are replaced doesn't always apply. There may be some individual talent but this Fire roster simply isn't good enough and any notion that a few minor changes will result in a dramatic turnaround into contention for something substantial next year should be dispelled as dubious thinking at best. The entire back line needs to be revamped, and central midfield and forward need upgrades. Those aren't minor tweaks.
That miss by Accam was epic.

Thank you for that, happy to be wrong :)Quote:

I know I looked at the crowd last weekend at kick off and felt bad. It was a half empty stadium.
Steven is going to be coming by and saying hi prior to the game about 1:45 ish in the south stands.
I'll go ape-shit if I hear that chant!Quote:

I'd like to give him a hand Saturday. I hope they sub him off so we can do that.
Seeing this always puts a smile on my face

I can't be too critical of Delgago. Him playing RB seems to be only half his duties. It just depends on how Vanney presents the lineup. I don't know if he keeps cheating up to midfield our its Vanney's direction to get his ass back to help Williams every time but I think "shaky" is pretty much manic double duty. No real difference than what's expected from Jackson, though.Quote:

Delgado played most of a season at RB for Chivas. EDIT: And was one of their few decent players.Quote:

Maicon Santos ignoring Stevanovic and missing a wide open net from 6 yards out is still the worst thing I've ever seen in MLS. Equal parts awful finishing and selfish, borderline narcissistic play.Quote:

What adds to the Gilberto goal so much is the reaction of the rest of the team - they were all thrilled for him. Watch Luke Moore and how thrilled he was. There was some team spirit at that moment.
one word Drogba ........Quote:

but Drogba got away with murder and you know Gio will be tossed everywhere and probably end up with the foul . Kinda shitty Drogba ( as much as he's bringing excitement to MLS), is apparently given free reign while Gio is simply disrespected by the refs .Quote:
