Sounds about right.

True enough… with the exception of Oluwaseyi, raised in Mississauga, totally overlooked by our academy and chosen 17th by the Loons. He’s on 5 goals and 2 assists in limited minutes this season.

I liked Hernandez’ unequivocal decision to keep the high draft pick. Of course, our woeful draft record has been at times countered by our willingness to spend. Without being able to spend, keeping...

After missing some of the preseason and all of the first three matches he’s not played much. A half or more only a few times and never a full match. He probably just needs to play more.

At least...

And who had by far the best DP on the field? Bernie looked his wage-bill. If he can keep this up when Insigne returns we might return to some of that early promise. At least in being really good to...

Fantastic!

Dallas didn’t look much more than a point a game side and not sure why they didn’t have Arriola, Feirerra and Musa playing together in her 2nd half but we certainly deserved the win....

Think we saw why Coello is a six and not an eight. We lost his passing and field awareness when he came out. Although he should probably always play next to Flores.

It wouldn’t surprise me if a lower division took a flyer on him. Somewhere with less restricted and compartmentalized roster and budget regulations. But man, 6 1/2 years is a long time… he doesn’t...

It does seem Herdman knows well that he’s not playing Oso in his best position… I expect that to change when Insigne is back.

I was not a complainer about Delgado and thought his strengths...

Mark(y) was a special one and still is, clearly. Longstaff, so far, hasn’t shown the cultured qualities that Herdman has seen in him. Here’s hoping the midfield is still very much a work in progress.

Director of Corporate Development! He had been our captain, however.

Jesus as (sort of) Insigne:

It seems Herdman and Co. are truly serious about motivational speeches. A 24 year old striker with mobility issues and zero confidence… who’s scored twice in his last 45 appearances. Not sure, alas,...

Not sure about Korea… seems a bit ambitious given the only two North Americans to play there were Mix Diskerud (owned by Man City) and Donell (a Whitecaps starter and not long off Blackburn) and...

Intelligent stuff.

As for the Dallas match, first time Feirerra and Arriola will have played together all season. That could be trouble in itself.

True but he’s only 24… if he wants not to retire he’s pretty much got to sign with someone else. I can’t see an MLS club signing him for much above the minimum, but I could see someone doing that. I...

I expect him to get a chance at RCB at least until O’Neil’s return in June/July. CDN Championship, and late sub or even starting in MLS when Herdman feels he can handle a particular opposition. He is...

They certainly should buyout Ayo but don’t seem authorized to use the buyout mechanism at all. One would think it would have happened by now if it could.

Let’s hope it’s not another Diomande...

Yeah, I agree - when it comes to Canadian play by play guys, Nigel Reed is the only one I can stomach. Though it is difficult to believe the country had been so lacking in talent.

edit: As a kid,...

Hah, so much for transparency! Even with this info, much is still mystifying.

That somewhat aside, the two sore thumbs are Ayo and Diomande. We know that Dio is (in theory) looking for another...

The focus on young players means that Dallas is almost always: promising, a team of interest and optimism, but I wouldn’t go betting anything much on them.

Currently, they’re second from the...

Herdman and staff have done a truly admirable job getting us out of the death spiral. Of course it’s MLS and especially anything can happen with this match, but if we expect to hang around in the...

After Philly’s loss at home to Seattle yesterday, we’re alone in 4th place in points and in winning percentage. Before the season began this was not what I expected 1/3 of the way into the season...

Bernadeschi is seventh in the league in key passes, one behind Paintsil and two out of third place:
...

Prince (who at Orlando somewhat oddly crowned himself and declared “I am the king!”) is now tied for 8th in league scoring with Gazdag, Giakoumakis, and Brian White.
