Well…
it has to be said, BB committed the cardinal sin of shifting to a defensive formation too early. It’s death in every pro sport.
We played pretty well across the board, very well in a few cases.
man… Oso blows the final ball. He had a pretty poor game unfortunately.
Still, hard to go out of this one feeling the same venom as past recent efforts. this is a competitive team, even without the extra bodies we clearly need.
Oh, Jesus. That usually means a ligament tear.Quote:

BUT
the move didn't make it better because Priso hasn't been good enough.
Twice now they have interfered with our free kicks, which is a yellow, and nothing. Poor and he is usually a good referee
Whatever. Most of us would of taken a 2-1 loss 3 hours ago as sad as that sounds.
Is it just me or is our #1 need right now and actual right sided forward winger?
The change of shape was a death kiss. What a tale of two halves.

When will soccer introduce an actual game clock like other sports ? You stop the clock when there is an injury , that player was down more than 4 minutes and plus all the other stoppages and only 4 minutes of stoppage time ? As long as they keep having the ref keep time players will keep faking injuries why wouldn’t you fake an injury if your up and want to kill time .
Horrible second half. We could barely make it past the halfway line.
Our center mids were really poor. Couldn’t match their physicality.
Right-side winger has been needed for awhile. Had Gallardo, but he never had playing time with Vanney and then got hurt last year. Team also needs proper FBs too.
Way more positives than negatives there. It's a bit natural for a team lacking experience so much to drop the heads after conceeding, add in a change of formation and Columbus having a way deeper bench and there you go. I think there's alot to like with the youth and we aren't all that many signings away from being a play off team. Throw in insigne, a defensive mid fielder (our top need) and maybe another attacker and we'd be a team capable of upsetting anyone
Yes. We were outplaying them until the changeQuote:

Okello is dang fine passer

Oso can boss a game without looking like he is bossing a game
Jesus just scores goals & works like stink
Bono can make saves but still can't marshal a back line
McNaughton & Chung are MLS #3 & #4 level - better then Zavs
Bradley at CB when not facing pace is OK - once they started running right at him, he melted
Achara hasn't been good enough
We under hit passes all game long - weird
I prefer 2022 TFC to 2021, even though the results may not be all that different for the first few months.
BTW, I think with Salcedo & Mavinga, we win that game.
We desperately need a fullback if JMR is a long-term thing. Loaning Auro out makes zero sense and they will pay the price now.
Not doubting your opinion but I did notice the below on Twitter which I must say matches up with some of my prior observations about his game (he hot-potatoes the ball). Assume he did better today?Quote:

Hadn't realized he wanted out. Guess that is different. Still need another fullback and maybe two.Quote:

some very good stuff in first 55 mins today, better than almost any period of last season and with basically 2/3 of a roster.
the worrying this is the way we collapse when we concede.
annoying that the summer window is far better for player recruitment, but id rather a few months of playing kids and such than signing a bunch of MLS journeymen out of desperation who we're then stuck with for years. insigne and salcedo in that lineup today and we win comfortably, and i reckon we'll add a few more starting pieces too.

Don’t know. I knew tfc would lose today so I did not waste two hours of my life watching the gameQuote:
