Agreed.

Personally, I would go out and get a defensive mid to play next to Bradley and let Osorio go out to the wing (assuming we are staying 442, otherwise this coversation goes in multiple...

Hall was (trying) to man mark him. The issue is players as savvy as Morales use that to their advantage by dragging you all over the place and impacting your team shape. The way a lot of teams deal...

I'd point out possession can be used for multiple purposes. Some teams actually use it to have "quiet periods" where they look to recover energy. Others simply use it to find their team shape...

Get used to the diving, it's tactical and it unfortunately works. Other teams have already complained about the physicality of our play, this is their way of drawing attention to it. Another one or...

Lol. Everyone bit down hard on that one.

In this case I disagree. We cheaply gave them the ball and tried to counter attack when the opportunity wasn't there. They pressed us high and we willingly made low percentage passes and they...

As if Hall isn't guilty of the same. He has a huge track record of carelessly losing men in the middle of the field and leaving the backline exposed.

Loss not a big deal in the grand scheme of things (hope Defoe is healthy). The true test of today is whether we can learn from our mistakes.

He has rough games, but potential is there.

But really, we are beating our head against the wall with Mark Bloom out of position or Jeremy Hall... Not exactly any different.

Yeah I agree Hall < Bekker. I'd take my chances trying to motivate Bekker to work over trying to hope Hall actually one day learns how to read a game.

We really need Bradley to stay at home and...

We need another quality ball winner, I haven't seen anything from Hall in his career to suggest he can be counted on.

OMG people criticized being down 2-0 at half, they must want everything blown up so we can start over!

This is flawed, if that's what we are doing. Defending is more energy expansion than attacking.

Both cbs on yellows... Long night ahead

I question why bloom and Orr have to both be included. Formation rigidity is limiting our options here.

We're not going 34-0 this season. This is a fixture I'd like to see us play well, even if we don't take the points.

Some people's perceptions of our roster vs rest of league are interesting, to...

Jesus christ it's going to be July before we get to see this team on a normal field?!?

Earl Cochrane must be on special contract, handling the paper work for this one.

Can't deny that, but he's also shut down and frustrated some of the other teams best attackers which is being overlooked.

I would say its obvious what we are asking our wingers to do and what his...

I'd just say that people underestimate the importantence of having strong defenders to supporting an attack. The reason we can float our forwards up so high or that Rey can continually make those...

Losing Plata and Saborio works well for us, but they are still capable. Garcia made us look foolish last year and Findley is capable of the odd good game, Sandoval can be real pest as well.

I expect us to give them a tough challenge, any points earned is a huge bonus. This would be one of those games where we could turn the corner and show we are on the rise or ... Revert to classic...
