Great thing about MLS is that anyone can beat anyone on any given day. Let's hope it goes the way of TFC because it's long overdue.
What do we think the line-up will be?
----------------------Irwin----------------------
--Beitashour--Perquis--Moor--Morrow-------
--Endoh--Bradley-----Johnson---Osorio----
--------Altidore-----Giovinco-----------
or 4-3-3?
I'd like to see Delgado where Oso is tbh.Quote:

We play the compact 4-4-2 and see if they can break us down. Should be an interesting match. If I was Montreal, I'd go with a 3-4-3 and dare Beitashour and Morrow to go forward.
Montreal will be a much more difficult opponent than DC, that's why Vanney rested some regulars.Quote:

I had actually forgotten that Williams played instead of Perquis lolQuote:

Three points from this would be massive.
Are we really that worried about a team that's starting Eric Alexander and Kyle Bekker at CM? I don't think they're as good as people are hyping them up to be.
As with all games.Quote:

His offensive skill set in no way justifies a one-way player.
So I'm not sure how he'd be fitting in as a DM right now. That would seem contrary to a lot of what I've noticed previously.
Montreal have announced a sellout for this game.
Cant wait ! :scarf:
I remember him having a decent shot, free kick and a great pass, but lacking the running and tackling to play at this level. I'm shocked that he's looking half decent at DM of all placesQuote:

ps. Is it possible Kevin Payne was not so foolish after all?
Bekker still isn't a starter really, and Welshman is a bench player with RSL, while Payne passed on a slam dunk guarantee in Andrew Farrell, so... nah.Quote:

:scarf: GAME DAY
Weather in Montreal same as here. 11 degrees and mostly sunny at kick off time.
Whatever's said and done, Bradley is still massively better than Bekker (I would argue Will Johnson is even better than Bradley in many respects).Quote:
