    Yep.

    It goes back to earlier threads we all chimed in on. They will exploit our weakness and press our non-DPs to turn the ball over or make an errant pass. By covering our DPs, they also...

    Chasing the ball… or lack of possession… really puts a strain on fitness. With at least 4 of the 10 key players in their 30's (Caldwell, Orr, Defoe, DeRo) I can't see this being an approach that...

    Like a .1000 win percentage, thinking that the 30+ year olds will complete the season injury free is also the stuff of dreams.

    The most concerning injury from my perspective is the one to...

    Noting a number of comments about "altitude" as a factor. It's common for teams to compete within 24 hrs of arrival as that has been shown to minimize the affects.

    How healthy he was in the past needs to be weighed with the fact that as we age, the risk of injury increases. Particularly true for athletes.

    That is the risk in signing older players and in...

    Nelsen's quote was that he was feeling it BEFORE the game.

    As for it being a different injury, there are only 2 hamstrings. If one is hurt the other compensates. All related.

    Doesn't...

    Yeah. Hopefully.

    So, just to recap. The guy who missed a sh*t ton of games in Tottenham… and still injured when he was signed… was feeling the same injury before the game and yet he still played...

    We haven't used the draft well. If you think about it, most of our players come to us from trades,waivers or re entry draft. Trading means getting the better of the other GM. Waivers and re...

    Which is fair. But to what do you chalk up the sub 40 possession against DC at home?

    Or the fact that over Nelsen's coaching career the team has only enjoyed +50% possession about 5 or 6 games ?...

    Hamstring. He was holding it on a corner then subbed off in the 60(ish?) minute. Trainer came right over to him and he went to the tunnel, stopping to grab it again.

    Could just be "tight" and...

    Key points for me:

    - IF Defoe has a hamstring injury, first one to say it is bad luck can f*ck right off. We signed him when he had a hamstring injury. Defoe going down to injury isn't an if...

    It is interesting how times have changed just by the pre game chatter.

    In the past, if TFC won it would have been chalked up to luck. A loss? A sign of 31 more to come.

    Now?

    A win? ...
