Cummins wanted to try something different and use Wynne;s speed,
he getting desperate, the team has been playing crap for weeks ending
with the farce last night in Houston..Even Ricketts got a game if thats not
being desperate??
i really can't see Wynne ever being better than Vitti in attacking. So it was an experiment bound to fail.
100%my thinkingQuote:

p.s. Dichio and Vitti are gonna kick Vancouver's ass.
I think that I agree with your thinking on this one rocker to an extent. The Wynne experiment at forward is still relatively new...so I think he just wanted to give it another go.....when the game was out of hand I think Cummins should have just bit the bullet though and kept as many people fresh as possible for the Vancouver match....Quote:

Its not like hes a waste of space on the field, just re-work the formation.
It was quiet obvious in the first 20 mins that is wasn't working. Is it just me or does Cummins not believe in holding players in there proper positions. We seem to move guys around in different roles every game. That Houston game just shows that it doesn't work. Not one player on the field in Houston impressed me. They got caught looking forward to playing Vancouver on Wednesday. By the way someone want to tell Sportsnet that they need new anousers. Fuck there horrible I didn't know that the game against Vancouver is on a Tuesday?? Were they get there information?? And i'm sorry how can you mix up Brennan and Serioux?? Fucking pathetic.
Why sign Vitti at all? I like that he puts himself about, but TFC needs scoring, so what does Mo do? He signs a striker with a poor-terrible scoring record. He’s getting paid 300K, in the MLS that’s more than just trying hard money, that’s very good-star player money.
Maybe the RPB forums should sign somebody new to post in your place? TFC plays Vancouver on Tuesday...Quote:

Vitti is not the second fastest player on our team, I don't buy that. If he was truly skillful, he would have found a way to shine by now. What does he need to be unleashed? Most players just need a chance to get on the field, what does he need? The goalie to give throw the ball at him and so it deflects in? There's no way that he warrants a $300,000 salary.Quote:

Vitti is probably as talented as anyone on the team, in terms of pure football talent. But much like DeRo, I think his creativity puts him ahead of just about anyone else. DeRo has had the time to become "comfortable" with the players and style of play (such as there is) in the league and has adapted.
Vitti has had some really good minutes - he has shown that he can still maintain control even with 2-3 opponents on him (see most of the time he was on against DC). Rarely do other teams cover him man on man. I havenm't understood other comments that he can't beat anyone one on one, because he attracts two or three every time he has the ball. But not everyone gets what he is going to do, so lots of his passes go into open space, or he gets hit with passes that should be going through (hit in the heel, hit in the back, and so on).
I echo 106-12's question - if I recall, Vitti is one of the highest earners on the team. Either you play him or cut him loose and use the money on something else. But sitting him doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
I thought all the games were on Wednesday's except the Montreal game? Oh well my bad. There still horrible announcers. P.S. loose the holy than thou attitude.Quote:

Vitti is by no means the second fastest player on the team. He sure as hell doesn't play that way. Barrett shows more speed then Vitti. Where did you get the observation that Vitti is fast?Quote:

Hell no. Nana is a good CB. Wynne is a good RB. Velez is a shit CB. So why would you sit Wynne before Velez?Quote:
