If I'm in the board room, I'm asking why we are paying so much for this level of bad, when bad can be had so much cheaper. The first player I'd be asking about would be Clint Irwin.
We are just fucking awful. I don’t know what to say. I can’t see this being fixed this year. Too may injuries, too many problems, no cap space, Bradley’s leadership is AWOL. Wtf.
Listen, we suck. Easy to be mad. I am not.Quote:

All three goals were amazing. Quintero is special. I wish we were seeing Gio have this kind of time and space on the ball.
I love that loon call when they score.
The defence needs some retooling , WTF ..
Manning and Bez really need to do something about this now

Anyone remember when the last time we had two from giovinco was? Or where they both came from the run of play, rather than a set piece?
Is Vasquez made of glass? Is Auro physically unable to defend?
These and more questions....
All I know is, we resign Beta instead of demanding he take a pay cut, keep our starting lineup healthy and....
How can extra travel possibly have such an effect? It seems like every MLS team has half the lineup missing at any one time.
At this point two wins against mtl are the only things I can hope for this season. Well be back in 2019.
1) We have become predictable. When was the last time Gio had the ball with the kind of time and space that Quintero has had.Quote:

This is a major problem. Every offensive set starts with a wide player trying to feed the top of the box. Other teams just keep stepping up and breaking it up. We've got the players right now, but no space to move.Quote:

This is a team that is a sleep when they walk on the pitch. It is happening more and more. Because the team lacks leadership both coaching and from team leaders. End of season the front office needs to figure out who are the personalities leaving the team in such poor shape and remove them.
If that means, Vanney, Bradley and Gio all have to go so be it.
In the mean team the front office needs to tell them to get their heads out of their asses and start working.
Coach of the year should be able to make it work better than it is.
Last season we have injuries we do well and everyone is like oh look how deep TFC is Vanney is amazing. This year TFC has injuries and everyone is like oh well you can't blame Vanney for the poor play that is on the players and the injuries.
No this is shit play. This is TFC from several years ago. This is the TFC I've seen just under the surface since Vanney started. We hit a rough patch and he doesn't know how to play out of it because the league has left him behind.
Finally Gio scores!!!! I think to little to late but hoping this helps his confidence

But the brain trust HAVE to figure out something about the back line. Yes, injuries started all this but we currently have decent enough WB's and FB's but not a single decent CB.
None of us or the brain trust could have anticipated that, and TFC have tried every single combination back there to get something to work. Like, what the heck do you do when guys who played well enough for two seasons come nowhere near the level of play needed in the league?
Mid season CB replacements have a BAD history in this league. (remember Kantari)
How hard must it be to be repeat Champions? Props to those who do it in any sport / league, MLS should be the easiest of North American pro leagues but still not easy, so many things have to align. Hope we turn this season around and still make some noise though.
TFC is looking very familiar to the Leafs
Send hagglund forward!
Congrats to Ayo on making his MLS debut, thus becoming the 201st player to have played for this Reds in team history.
Giovinco basically taking up Vazquez's role right now
I think I am going to start treating these games like before 2014 & stop expecting anything in the way of a result. Will make it all just a little less stressful.
Manning you say lol, he is too busy with the Argos lol.Quote:

2 game moral win streak, things are really turning around
If they had played all game with the same urgency they played in the last 10 minutes, TFC could have won.
