i think we would have done better if we played a better team
it was pride vs not-so-much-pride, and pride won
That was almost a Neymar number of rolls by Soteldo.
Caldwell is so ready to criticize but never presents any ways to fix the problems.
Why is Rutty playing fullback?!

I'm vaguely wondering if Caldwell might actually be helpful as a d line coach.
Omar is just total shit
Well Herdman fired him, so who knows.Quote:

Achara working hard but he’s not good enough yet to start in MLS.
Fucking dreadful performances.
Just can’t believe they care, there’s so little aegis, so little urgency. It’s embarrassing the badge.
Clean fucking house. Keep Jonny O, Ralph and Auro, everyone else should be worried about getting cut or traded .
I have no idea why YouTube just gave me this video as one of my top recommendations, I've never seen it before, but it seems to fit.
:D :D :D
Seems appropriate!Quote:

Somebody really needs to step in & have them stop lying to us
I am glad I didn't purchase any tickets for the remaining games. Perhaps an empty stadium will prompt MLSE to make some changes.
The next time I will be at BMO will be for the CMNT.
They probably did though, in that they have nothing left.
This much losing is tough to shake off, even moreso when you are already ill-equipped for the season thanks to your GM's incompetence.
Who cares. Would rather watch a shitty TFC team than torture myself watching baseball.Quote:

We dont even get the 1st pick overall, because of 2 new expansion teams entering next season, it will be 3rd bestQuote:

“We need, of course, to put the responsibility on ourselves and veteran players like myself, we take responsibility to keep the group together and get back to work on Tuesday. I’ve been in this difficult position before. I’ve been with teams that have breezed into the playoffs and I’ve been with teams that have not made it into the playoffs and I would say this is a very, very talented group. We look around the locker room at each other and we see how much quality we have. We’re frustrated as well and it’s up to us to get things together and get us back on the right path and we’ll do everything we can to do that.”
Really? Really? WTF? :facepalm:Quote:

He's just a lame ass duck, like Curtis and Manning
Same here!Quote:

We have a bad team because our roster is constructed badly. The fact that we got off to a terrible start under Armas did not help but it isn’t just that, because we did get the new coach bounce. We are just bad. No defence. No scoring. A new DP that doesn’t address either issue. A luxury player in a team that needed to fix the basics, but didn’t. That makes a bad team.
Spot on!Quote:

Manning strongly hinted at him looking at people in terms of are they staying in his interview this week when he talked about next season being time to move on from the team that was. Curtis can't say this because he's tied to the team being what it is this season - I would be shocked if he's not let go. Perez should be saying it but he seems to have gone down the rabbit hole of "these are my guys".
The group is unsalvageable & needs to be almost completely turned over.
Perez seems to be protecting the players in public - no way to see what he is doing in private.Quote:

One of the challenges in disassembling a roster when results are bad is that you don’t get value. Moving Marky, for example, would have got an elite CB from the right team. Not now. No value in DeLeon Dwyer etc even though DeLeon and Mullins are serviceable.
Going from the bottom this time won’t be easy. Who do you build around? And to add to the complications, it smells like Poz and Soteldo want to go. Cant blame them, really.

Whoever the new coach is has to come in with a plan to use the best players on the team the best way they play - Vanney did that with Chicarito & it set the tone.
To me, Poz & Soteldo would be at their best with a number of young target man #9's to pass to & who will layoff around them. Akinola can be one -we need 2 more. Achara isn't it.
The other big need is a boss man CB - there are a heck of a lot more of those around in Europe & Argentina that would be cheaper then 1 mill a year.
Everything else builds from there.
