I don't think we are playing well, but think back to Manning's interview last October when he kept Vanney on. It's bigger than just Vanney, it's Bez, it's the $100M spent on three players (most of...

This "explanation" is even more pathetic than the original post, if that's even possible.
You need to take a serious look in the mirror. I don't care who you are, or about what the journalists...
OK that's fair.
I am glad we won, but what we did is what an badly overmatched team does, to try to eke something out against all odds. That is not my perception of what we are, or are trying to...
First 10-15 minutes were great.
We didn't deal with their press. They just had a bad day.
Can you all please stop this false narrative about the hate I supposedly have on for Vanney, or about me as a negative guy? What a bunch...
Lots of rose coloured glasses around here. I'm glad we won, but jeez, this is ... wow. Did I miss something, is this the thread only for people who watched the TFC highlights or something?
Zubar...
"Haters gonna hate." From a mod. That is pathetic.
You guys who seemingly can't tolerate a legit conversation about this are not acknowledging reality. They shelled us for long stretches of the...
I do not share the view that yesterday's game was a tactical victory by Vanney, I find that way overblown, but I was gobsmacked by Endoh, and Bez/Vanney deserve massive kudos for that draft pick.

Gio sells tickets. Pirlo and Lampard sell tickets.
USMNT guys don't sell tickets.
Teams need to radically rethink DP slots in light of ability to sign guys for $750K-1M via other means (eg TAM)....
Do squirrels chase nuts? Don't they just grab them?
I still think Kreis is going to Seattle. Lagerwey has to be the one waiting in the wings here.
How would we compete with them? Lagerwey has to be closer to Kreis than anybody. Seattle isn't just...
It's not that. New manager always equals new players. Every manager has guys he wants, and someone has to go to make room. Often it's someone pretty good that moves on the cheap.
We have lost a...
I think one of the obvious mistakes you can make is believing that you can just find a manager to slot into your system. Very smart people make this mistake, big clubs especially, with big player...
I don't speak Italian, but this makes no sense on so many levels ....
It's manager dumping season in Europe. This is just how agents put candidates in the shop window. But if Manning comes to...
Manning would've hired Kreis if he'd wanted to make a change.
All three DPs make multiples of what they are worth. Maybe Gio's contract could be transferred, Defoe somehow got someone to give him $7M for 3 years,maybe same is possible for Gio. But Gio doesn't...
That does sound familiar. Although I suspect Kreis is gone because Pirlo said "it's me or him" and that is not complicated. Soriano's mistake was in hiring an actual soccer executive in his...
Nope. Can't win that one unless you are the man.
This was the smart part. Because he is saying this call is not just about Vanney, it's about Bez too. He'll do more than just fire Vanney, if that's where this goes.
His timeline is driven by the...
He didn't say he believes in Vanney.
I did not want Vanney, yet another rookie hired without a search, same for Bez. While I have been excited about Bradley and Gio, I have always worried that you...
And, the MLSE special, have the new guys inherit their key employees, and pretend they think it was their idea, rears it's head.
I could maybe, maybe see the case for Bez staying. Maybe. On...
You know, I want Kreis and all that ... but I am not sure it'll work unless we are moving the DPs.
All these veteran Europeans, and USMNT players, they were brought in I believe because they'd...
Well put.
I don't think there is a "trade" out there, given that contract.
The team that needs Michael Bradley more than any other in MLS is Chicago.
That is a fair point, and Davidson has an excellent body of work.
I just think people (fans, reporters, everyone really) have weird unconscious biases about where "motivation" comes from and fits...
Davidson is wrong. This is suddenly becoming a "thing". I don't see this or accept this. Bradley is intense, but aloof? No way.
The fact that Bradley almost entirely operates behind closed doors,...
