It was really great that Ciman stepped up the way he did with Gonzalez out the last two games. Made the signing worth it, and really helped Vanney to be able to stick to his game plan. Mavinga was...

I very much agree with that off-season focus. However, I see a few additional crucial issues:
- Bradley's new contract; his role next year (both in midfield & as captain); and the role of possible...

TFC has played better more often as of late. Making the playoffs was a major goal.

But Vanney still makes too many bizarre decisions. And motivation is still hit and miss.

Vanney has probably...

I do wonder though what management would decide, if TFC doesn't get past Montreal on Wed., and then loses a first away game in the playoffs.

In order to support the bit of footy journalism that still exists in Canada, it's best if people can read that article on one of the news sites. Hits, page views, and ad sales all matter.

The Star...

They weren't looking at the pitch either. They were looking everywhere except at Vanney. I've seen other water / injury breaks. This looked different.

But for sure it's reading tea leaves. As is...

I don't see much "mob mentality" here. I see lots of people frustrated and searching for answers. I get no joy from thinking #VanneyOut, even though it may happen. As I already said last night, I'm...

Something I found really interesting tonight:

Laryea was down injured in the north end for an extended period. Four TFC on-field players were around Vanney, all drinking water. Vanney was talking...

Who was this tweeted by?

I think Chapman's effort has improved most games. But on Saturday, he just stopped running/tracking before Houston's 2nd goal. That was his guy that passed the ball in from the wing.

In that vein, TFC had nobody listed as injured or questionable in the league preview for the Houston game:...

You've got something mixed up. ensco didn't say anything about entitlement. In fact, he wrote 'No way do I think that the people who are upset are “wrong”.'

It was actually TheGoodson who was...

I think it was the players' fault and the manager's fault, latter mostly by putting players into situations that they couldn't handle well.

This isn't a response to you in particular; but I've read similar thoughts from folks on here, as well as a couple of journos...

Maybe Vanney thinks he needed to massively rotate like that to...

Very interesting; I'll watch the highlights when I have a chance, and check the squad rotation before & after this.

Yet it still doesn't seem to be nearly as extreme of a coach's decision. First...

Vanney sucks.

Houston also had 3 games this week, with more travel. And they were 1-8 away before this game. And they were missing their top scorer.

Yeah you're right, that's a pretty low bar. Do you think squeaking into the 7th playoff spot, and exiting first round, will be enough for FO though? I don't know either way.

Did you see the Manning interview? Linked on the previous page. They're giving Vanney some time, but they say he has to deliver. If he doesn't turn things around by the end of the season, he's...

This could also go in the transfers thread, or in the Manning or Curtis threads, but:

In the Steve Buffery article from yesterday, Vanney mentions again that they need some wide speedy players,...

Just need 4 or 5 guys...

Exactly! It's so bizarre. We were the opposite of bunker. There were situations where two of our CBs were in the opposing half.

I do wonder if we have the defenders to bunker well, especially...

We're at a point where "Kreis 2.0" sounds like a bit of an insult to Vanney.

Cheers! This off-season looks to be strangely calm in TFC land. At least it's a short off-season, and the Argos seem to be doing their part to manufacture some outrage to tie us over. :D

Nobody here is pissing and moaning, not in a long time at least. Some people are "evaluating" -- mostly positive. That's the name of the thread. If you don't like the thread anyway, then don't open...

I haven't heard time to post here yet, and I'm not sure if it's worth the bother.
