Have at It People
The nerve. Andrea Lombardo hit the odd parking lot attendant. Nowhere near the sky.
No Jozy, disjointed team, however this is MLS so anything can happen.
"Scuse me, while I kiss this guy". Should we all get high for the match and bliss out?!?
one of the most misheard lyrics of all time. love it.
Hoping we show more intent and drive than last week. Really have to wonder about the motivation right now but hopefully it was as they said and everyone was just off for whatever reason.
2-4 for the good guys.
Any MLS game in Florida is somehow weird
Every

Desi Lydic could be on to something 🤣🤣🤣

Prolly at Joe's for this one. Gonna be a close one with high chance of goals. Tesho and Johnson. Hope they start.
I think Orlando is a top 3 team in the east.
I expect this place to go completely nuts if we lose, as we well may. May go on a siesta if that happens.
How a team can pull such a dull and uninterested performance like last week, at home, without any fixture congestion, against a team with a bad record, makes me confused. I have no idea how to predict this game. We can easily lose 3-0 or win 3-0.
At the moment I think Vanney has to go with a 4-4-2 Diamond. It’s the only way to make sense of the players he has available, with the width provided by Morrow and Auro. JHams and Auro up front, Poz at the top of the diamond, Oso and Deleon, then Bradley. I don’t know how that works versus Orlando but our strength is inside not outside at the moment ie Oso’s technical abilities so we should play to that strength. We don’t have any wingers so don’t play a formation that uses them.
Yes. The width was lacking on Saturday. When we get to the goal line and cross then we're dangerous.
I am not very confident we can get a result in this one. Orlando seem to be finally hitting their stride. Nani is going to cause major problems with our backline. I wonder if Moor is healthy enough to crack the line up this week.
Vanney said that Moor is out for this game. Jozy on the bench possibly.
Tough one to win, I'm thinking it will be a 2-2 draw.Quote:

As a Utd fan, Nani was one of the most frustrating players I've ever seen at the club. Absolute pure brilliance and then utter shite in equal measures. It was because you knew he was so talented that when he did stupid decisions it exacerbated it so much more. On his day he's top drawer. The one thing he never liked was the physical aspect. Jamie Carragher once famously done him in a game and he genuinely looked scared to go near the ball again afterwards. It's unfortunate that we don't have that physical type, and not neccessarily a dirty player, as I've seen him shy away in other games where players hit him hard but fair.
Keep an eye on the General early doors.Quote:

Weather tomorrow in Florida at kickoff
32 feeling like 36
40 % chance of rain
Our guys are not going to enjoy this
I would take that any day over the garbage weather we have been having.Quote:

Yeah. Players slow down. Look thirsty. I drink more.Quote:

E.g. 42 to 24 duels won, in favour of Orlando.
I see a draw this match.
Dont get MLS scheduling, we play at night when its cold and they play during the day when its hot.
Yes are scedule was great first couple of years now it’s gone down hill. Can’t make most of games now. TFC wins 3-1
They don't care about the fans any more - all for TV. Don't really care about the players, for that matter.Quote:

While very good, against lesser teams, Poz has recently demonstrated he is human. Getting hacked in the shins has slowed him down, and without Josie, he simply can’t do everything on his own.....a resounding thumping today will hopefully motivate Manning...if nothing has been done by next week, this team will be a mess, getting worse each game and with each new injury.
OK I'm going to say it. I will give this game away to the weather gods so that
OUR SHITTY WEATHER IN TORONTO THIS YEAR ENDS
Looking at the standings our points per game is the best in the East. I think our boys rebound with a strong effort after the game they threw at home. Tie game today. Gonna go to Joe to take it in. I'll have a couple of extra Topps Now Pozuelo debut cards to sell/trade if you want to gab one. Text 416-627-1155--Brian
Lets go you reds, I think that its been a while since we've done a good job in Toronto, as a person from Mississauga, I think we need to revamp this roster and revamp the motivation at the stadium to win against Nani, who is from Manchester United. I think everything will be ok.
Sincerely,
PawTar711
Thank you Vanney for starting Westberg.
Still only one forward. I hope we have a better plan to threaten goal than last game
Guess I gotta buy a new antenna for my TV, can't even receive CTV anymore. Argh...
I would rather play two up top, 3-5-2.Quote:
