Uh, sack of shit was Chicago the week before.
Seriously, watch the rest of the league - our defence isn't good enough (consistently switches off 3-4 times per game) but our offence moves the ball around far better then most teams not named LAFC.
Moves the ball around has has zero end product. It’s like a late-years, low budget, Arsene Wenger team.Quote:

Just Caldwell defending the refs call 🤦🏼Quote:

Serious question: what was it that our FO saw in Terrence Boyd that ended up with him being signed?
US passport. That's all it takes for this FO.Quote:

I dunno. I have the impression that our ball movement looks better than it is effective because other teams just pack the middle and let us pass it around.Quote:

I don't try to pick on nobody (honestly!), but IMO on these boards there are about 33% of these people, who in my opinion have those "tremendously pink tinted glasses" on all the time.
I know you will talk about how good way Laryea, and that Fraser was OK, and probably this scoreline is what we should have expected without Poz, Michael and Oso.
So far this season the management is underperforming, the coaching staff is underperforming and the players are underperfoming. All at various levels, but anyways all of them are in "simply underperforming to grossly underperforming" category, save some very rare examples, like Poz.
If this week we wont get at least 1 point in Vancouver IMO the fuck@ing sky is faling...
Even if this whole MLS is set up in a way to clearly favor mediocrity (see how many teams are qualifying for the playoffs), besides having no relegation (which of course will never happen, because US + Canada major soccer is on a different planet compared with the rest of the World).
In these conditions, if our team's performance won't improve radically until the playoffs, instead to somehow enter the playoffs on the back door, and then exit after the first round, I would much prefer to miss the playoffs by a large margin of points. Because only then I think we will see some major movements on the management and/or coaching team level.
Saying all this as a TFC fan from the moment since the franchise was announced in 2006...

He put himself about yesterday and was an annoying bother / target man. Touch of lead though.Quote:

This is it. Yesterday was a bit better because Bradley & Osorio were out so we did a few different things. We only had Delgado to slow down the forward movement and even he was better during the first half. Then he returned to his usual.Quote:

There's an even larger number of people who ONLY post after a poor performance to complain (not saying you do that or mentioning someone in particular). They completely disappeared during the 2017 MLS Cup run. Never posted "I'm happy the team won the triple." Stayed away during the 2018 CONCACAF run. Then came back with a vengeance when the regular season tanked last year. I honestly don't get the appeal.Quote:

We really need a second goal scorer. Someone who can play on the wing or centrally when needed.
His goal scoring record. It's actually not bad.Quote:

There is a positive in all this - they control the ball well offensively right up until the 18 yard box. After that, they can't do shit.Quote:

This has the same feel of the 2015 and early 2016 TFC teams. They are missing that final thread moving forward.
As for D - we all know they need another Drew. Just like those 15/16 teams - they are not far off. 2-3 players to become dominant again IMO.
People blaming Westberg on the second goal but looking at it its a bang bang move. Moor calls out Fraser to move to Wondo but Fraser doesn't move. Methinks Bradley goes there. Our defence seems to be set up as the near post area is covered and behind that its man to man. Moor gets caught between 2 players both times allowing Wondo to be open.

He played well for 30 minutes and disappeared. And, to your point, he cost us a point.Quote:

From my seat in 110 I could see quite clearly that Wondo was left wide open. For him not to score from that close and in space would have been tragic. From that range, any keeper has little chance to change the outcome of the shot.Quote:

He hasn’t scored in ages.Quote:

He was supposed to be a decent USMNT striker who never ended up being one — that’s it.
I'd say 45 minutes but he is one of the main issues we have right now.Quote:
