Rest anyone that's not 100%, give Chapman another undeserved start. We have a bigger game on Wednesday.
He's soooo not ready. I don't think they even know what his best position is yet. Given how often he was left trying to figure out what was going on -- right up to marking the man standing right in front of him, at one point -- I think it maybe does more harm than good at this point. He needs more USL time or a loan.Quote:

i think that our 2 best young canadian mids play for tfc 2.edwards and johnson.
Agree, I would consider giving Chapman a permanent loan to TFC II. As for Edwards, he needs an MLS contract first. I'm curious if they're considering it. It kind of depends on whether we plan to make any moves to shore up our attacking depth (as in trades or transfers). I think he's been better for TFC II this year than Babouli was last year.Quote:

Chapman is a backup right now. He's behind Osorio, Delgado and Endoh. If two of them are available, Chapman won't play. Its good he's gotten minutes that he can learn from. We'll see if he can apply those lessons in the Voyageurs.

This is going to be the same approach as we did in the first game - absorb and counter. Only difference is Cheyrou moves into the Bradley role. As much as some would like us to focus on the Voyageur's, thats not going to happen.
Let's win 8-nil for Pirlo.
In the interests of creating maximum chaos in the league, please Soccer Gods, let this happen.Quote:

Check out this tweet at https://twitter.com/JohnMolinaro/status/735143008329334786
Giovinco Babouli
Osorio Cheyrou Johnson Delgado
Morrow Perquis Moor Beitashour
Irwin
Subs: Endoh, Lovitz, Morgan, Chapman, Williams, Zavaleta, Roberts
Still the front 6 is not the best without our two Americans, however it looks better than the lineup we put out the last couple matches
I'm hoping that the reason Williams has been getting all these minutes lately is because we have some interest in him and teams wanted to see him perform. Sadly he got injured and we're still stuck with a glut of defenders.
All in all, glad to see Perquis back. Between him, Bradley and Cheyrou we have guys that can lob a great ball over to Giovinco.
If Cheyrou was not ready maybe Chris Mannella would have gotten a run in the defensive mid position. He has looked pretty consistent in that position for TFC2.
Going to be a very tough game this. Not only are the Soft Drinks on a good run of form, they haven't been weakened by International call ups (I really thought Littlefinger would be in the US squad, but what do I know)
i fancy Vanney might revert to 4-5-1 for this game, but I still wonder if we have the quality to come away from New Jersey with anything. I hope Cheyrou is fit enough and can take Bradley's spot, but it could be a game too early. Right now I'd happily take a point from this game.
Red Bulls finally got their CB pairing sorted which has been their biggest problem so far this season.
With TFC having so many question marks in the midfield, it will be tougher than TFC's first trip to RBA this season
This is probably obvious, but I am new to the forum and can't find it. What is the best way to purchase tickets in the away supporters section for this game?

I would probably go with Mannella over Chapman and start with 2 DM's with Oso central infront of them. Later in the game bring in chapman if we need an attacking option.
I'm hoping its Cheyrou or Delgado over Chapman.
Really? I dunno. I'm not all that worried. I guess Chapman and Babouli still have the jury out on them, sure. And yeah, we've got limited options on the bench, but nothing I'm seeing here makes me want to throw in the towel, even when you consider Red Bull's crazy game against NYCFC last weekend.Quote:

I bet we win this 1-0 miraculously. Every game I though tfc should have won easily (Colorado, whitecaps, nyc , columbus) we ended up dropping points. Maybe luck will favour us for a change.
2-0 win. Mo will get his first goal.
You have a point there and I am sure many of us had the same predictions you had. Just shows you nothing is impossible on any given day in this league.Quote:

MO will have a good game, hes progresing. Endoh i dont feel has progressed much since arriving, how do you fix consistency?
Chapmans orders better be to run yourself into the ground and then at half sub in cheyrou. I am not impressed with his effort the last couple of games
