Same with bringing in Thompson to get more direct forward movement. He managed that really well.

Spicer's looking like our best draft pick in ages. Really has a nose for goal, and that header was immense.

Bernardeschi just took that half over.

Fede taking over. What a difference a year makes, eh boys?

I dunno, I think we can get something tonight. We're still too offensively tentative on the ball but they're not showing much either.

Rare mistake from Long.

Orlando has five points saved after the 89th minute (a win and two draws) in their last three games.

These guys are the ultimate "switch off and you'll pay" team. So if we get ahead and bunker...

That would be really quick, given that he's not coming from a 3-4-3 system. He's been around since he was eighteen, though, so maybe he adjusts quickly.

I think we eat the whole thing when they go to the CPL.

The truly galling part is we passed on him TWICE. First by not offering him a TFC II deal before college, which I believe was Ali, and then when he left college, as we still held his rights and had...

That's fair. He's a u22 initiative but he's on a relatively low wage. I think he was worth a flyer based on his producitivy there, but the level he's at physically at 22 he faces some of the same...

I thought Herdman's comments on Mailula were quite positive.

"Every week he keeps his head down, he works hard, he’s always got a positive outlook. Players like that, they build a resilience...

People whining about the 7-0 comment aren't thinking like managers; he has a tough game on the road against Orlando this weekend. Every league game is a new fight, a new reason to find motivating...

Orlando's chemistry has been off this year, though, so it'll be interesting. If we take the same approach as against New England and park the bus, we have a shot, as Orlando really requires...

If we play defensively like we did against Simcoe, we'll get smashed. I realize the motivational factors are different but that sloppy shit won't pass in MLS.

Sigh... Russel-Rowe scores the winner in the first leg of the CCC.

A judgement call, not anything that can be claimed as fact, as he never gets a chance in the league.

He was good last night. His lack of pace was evident on the breakaway, but his passing was...

I thought Mailula was quite good in the first half but tried to do too much in the second. His finish was good, and the long strike, and the ball to Owusu (which he knocked back to Osorio but clearly...

Meh. We weren't very good, they were just awful.

I mean, it's like FIFA on easy out there... but Mailula is playing a blinder, given the chance.

If we lose to this team, or even don't win convincingly, it will be a little humiliating. The difference is large.

Ah, the usual small, snide remarks from the OneSoccer crew.

"What HAS your message BEEN to them as they PREPARE to play the game of their lives even...."

They spend much of their times in the narrow channels in Herdman's system, so JMR and Franklin will be doing most of the actual wing work.

Andi Petrillo stresses all the wrong words.

"What does it mean to watch this national championship GROW?"
