Chapman deserves a start over Morgan.
Chapman deserves a start over Morgan.
Mavinga injured?
FWIW, Beckerman is out injured, so not ex-dirty hippie to break Poz's knees today.
But they will kick him all dang game - young ref too but RSL already has a reputation that has gained them a lot of cards.
Not the same position. Chapman only starts if Oso or Poz are sitting.Quote:

That’s just not good enough from Hamilton. You won’t get many chances like that in this league. Don’t expect to take 3 touches and finish
anyone got a source? Have a decent ish one but the audio is streamed twice somehow
Drew Moor saves TFC twice. Could have been 2 against. He's still key.
Good make up play there with the first touch to PozQuote:

I'm watching CTV OTA. Big mistake on the audio: they're quietly piping in the US audio feed, in addition to the Cdn audio feed.Quote:

He has all the tools, it's down to the decisions.Quote:

These are correctable issues. He has the stuff that you can't teach.
Some guys are just dense, however. I'm not saying that's the case with Hamilton, but I remember a still-involved national team coach telling me twenty years ago about a Canadian university player I favored who was in the A-League. I asked him why he hadn't been picked up by a bigger club given his first touch and blazing speed and he just tapped his temple and said "ten-cent head. He can't learn, no matter how hard you try."
Some players its arrogance, some its intelligence, I guess.
But I get the sense with him and our club's past egregious record of letting talent go that it's coaching.
I would take him over Luke Wileman any day of the week/month/year.Quote:

Ugh Zavaleta can't be missing that
Their player does what Hamilton failed at.
Two things on that
a) Hamilton forgot it was a throw
b) that was the WORST thing I've ever seen from Zavs
FFS guys.
RSL know they can let TFC play around with the ball, and score a couple of quick goals in between. Plus TFC will get very tired.

Agreed he has some good tools. I think some of this is about rust and game experience. He’s played up top on an island and the team at times rarely gets him a ball for anything other than a final chance. They need to bring him into the game more for hold up play (which is much improved) or just to get a feel of things.Quote:

I just hope they don't give up any more before Jozy comes on.
BTW there are no centre backs on the bench...
Yeah, I would say Vanney doesn’t seem to develop confidence in his younger players. He really forces them into his system rather than look at their individual attributes.Quote:

Just seems like neither party is satisfied with what they are getting out of the other right now
By Hamilton's age, you might some improvements but he's not going to become a completely different player, no matter who coaches him.
FWIW Vanney was a noted youth coach, what he didn't have before TFC was first team experience.
Very nice goal but our guys look demotivated, I must say. We are not s top side but some of this isn’t even about talent.
Embarrassing. Our good start to the season has been completely wasted and it's only going to get worse until the summer and Curtis has a chance to bring in players he should've already brought in. This is the thinnest TFC squad in 5 years.
Oh Well, the first five minutes of this game was fun.
