Of note with this; last season the press was our achilles heel. We had problems every single time we faced it last year and just kept throwing the same failed set up against it. Dealing with that was...
But we didn't break and fold like in the past. We were more solid and composed. Was it tactical mastery? No, but it was a game plan that kept us in the match against a team in a place where we...
I started this thread and I even I will say that Vanney did a good job from the sidelines Saturday. My only issue was starting Lovitz but what can you do with what we have.
That was a...
And there is a reason for LA stockpiling allocation too.
Thing is that in a few years when he loses a step and has to settle into a defined, simpler role, he will end up being fantastic.
Bottom line is that if Bradley was used properly, in one strict position and not allowed to freelance as much, then he'd be top 7 in MLS at CAM and I would say #1 at DM if he would be willing to play...
Well if you see both FBs bombing so far up field that they can't recover like what happened most of last season then you know it's a continuation of Vanney-Ball and we are done.
I think our opening road trip, no matter how many games, plus our first home match or two is his marker. I'd say he has probably around 10 matches to show that he can turn around our back line. I...
Beyond the points the biggest factor that should be watched is our defensive shape and how our defense holds up. No matter what points we have through those 8 matches, if we have a GA of 16 or...
As much as I miss Deluded Brendan, I would prefer he ply his trade somewhere else. A team of #10's isn't going to fly in MLS.
Vanney many times during the season talked about us 'playing our game' and not adjusting our tactics to suit what others do but rather to make them adjust to us. Usually this came back to bite us at...
Just reading on ESPN that Bradley Sr. is leaving Norway for a 'bigger club'.
Canadian Champ games?
I am not 100% sure that if our CBs were Gonzalez and Marshall that we would have been amazing defensively. Better for sure but not great. People seem to want to not notice or accept that we weren't...
Did I not hear the team say that when that final stretch of home matches came and we were sitting in a good spot that a home playoff date was the goal?
I think that was what was said and that was...
He had a lot more to work with. RSL was and is cheaply run.
I already looked up 2007 during some Twitter stuff with Larsun and in 2007 RSL only had 4 players earning over $100K. Our shitty TFC...
I say no. Vanney would get benched first.
To me this is the stupid part. He is setting it up to destroy it. You dump Vanney and replace him with Kreis and he tweaks things and at worst, we're similar until some roster moves go down. Then we...
I'm not being a dick but honestly, what has he shown that points to him learning? I see no difference from first 10 matches to the last 10 from his side other than the fact that Seba was no surprise...
These are all things that are par for the course. We wanted a roof so we ht the road for 8. We wanted good players so then you lose them as well for a bunch of matches. It's how things go. No one...
Not if we improve nothing and stand pat. Then he, like us, will be hit and miss to do anything offensively just like it was down the stretch when teams froze Seba out for full matches. Then I will...
Fraser because no one of any use will be available that early and Kreis will be gone. Unless they totally clean house and then it'll be Bent I guess.
Then we give that person a year and a half or...
He will get until the summer break (if they do one) if he stays through the off season. By then the problems will be beyond repair of who's next and then it's on to a 2017 rebuild.
Long live the Deathwatch!
I think he knew what he was doing. It's a semi vote of confidence with a hefty dose of pressure piled on top.
