Barton, at least, noted Fede dropping back to cover wide for a while. The play-by-play guy was absolutely clueless. No idea what he was watching.

But generally too many platitudes both ways.

He was talking about him not tracking back in the moment. He had two forays forward right before that where he was frustrated and didn't track back quickly. Being ex premier league, Barton thought...

They showed the distance travelled during the game. Four of the first five were Orlando players, but Oso was second most at 10.4 Km when they showed the graphic, as I recall. (Might've been in miles,...

He's loathed by a fair swath of both Napoli and PSV fans for inconsistent efforts, beaking off constantly.

Their manager keeps fucking with formations and lineups, apparently. Some fans don't think he has long.

He's improved this year since he started playing as strictly as six. Did nothing for them in his truncated year last year but is average around two tackles a game now, has the odd good interception....

Good player, but disruptive. Not sure it's an ideal first DP, even that close to Mexico.

It's on Youtube right now. He hasn't seen much of the ball so far. Body language looks like he's not super excited to be there.

Charlie Sharp scored for TFC II in the first half on a rebound.

Same with bringing in Thompson to get more direct forward movement. He managed that really well.

Spicer's looking like our best draft pick in ages. Really has a nose for goal, and that header was immense.

Bernardeschi just took that half over.

Fede taking over. What a difference a year makes, eh boys?

I dunno, I think we can get something tonight. We're still too offensively tentative on the ball but they're not showing much either.

Rare mistake from Long.

Orlando has five points saved after the 89th minute (a win and two draws) in their last three games.

These guys are the ultimate "switch off and you'll pay" team. So if we get ahead and bunker...

That would be really quick, given that he's not coming from a 3-4-3 system. He's been around since he was eighteen, though, so maybe he adjusts quickly.

I think we eat the whole thing when they go to the CPL.

The truly galling part is we passed on him TWICE. First by not offering him a TFC II deal before college, which I believe was Ali, and then when he left college, as we still held his rights and had...

That's fair. He's a u22 initiative but he's on a relatively low wage. I think he was worth a flyer based on his producitivy there, but the level he's at physically at 22 he faces some of the same...

I thought Herdman's comments on Mailula were quite positive.

"Every week he keeps his head down, he works hard, he’s always got a positive outlook. Players like that, they build a resilience...

People whining about the 7-0 comment aren't thinking like managers; he has a tough game on the road against Orlando this weekend. Every league game is a new fight, a new reason to find motivating...

Orlando's chemistry has been off this year, though, so it'll be interesting. If we take the same approach as against New England and park the bus, we have a shot, as Orlando really requires...

If we play defensively like we did against Simcoe, we'll get smashed. I realize the motivational factors are different but that sloppy shit won't pass in MLS.

Sigh... Russel-Rowe scores the winner in the first leg of the CCC.

A judgement call, not anything that can be claimed as fact, as he never gets a chance in the league.

He was good last night. His lack of pace was evident on the breakaway, but his passing was...
