However he lacked the finish, again. In the second half, almost every touch he made was terrible, he had no finish, and he was utterly useless up front. Please, get off my team.
Danny Dichio - 6 - Not on enough to make an impact, however in the little time he was one, he was alright. Nothing fantastic though, just solid distribution and ability to distribute the ball.
Kevin Harmse - 1 - Harmse is absolutely worthless as a central midfielder. He has no ability on the ball, and his distribution is terrible. Even in a holding role, he lacks the pace and safe tackling ability to play the position effectively. There is no reason to stick him back out there, he did not do anything positive.
Rohan Ricketts - 6.5 - Dangerous on the ball,when he's moving. He seems to be picky im terms of who he wants to send the ball to, therefore he retains possession for far too long. When he does not wast his time on the ball, he is an effective player. He improved as the game progressed, and delivered a few dangerous crosses. A bit above average from Ricketts.
Laurent Robert - 7 - Delivered multiple dangerous balls into the box, and he did what was asked of him. He's a solid player when he is not relied on heavily to move with the ball. He creates for others through his pin-point accurate crosses and through balls, not through his ability and pace on the ball.
Carl Robinson - 7 - I thought Robinson did a very solid job, and made some very good tackles. He distributed the ball well, and even moved himself forward at times. Solid performance from Robbo, his presence will be missed against LA.
Olivier Tebily - 9 - That was one of the best performances by a Toronto central defender I have seen. I mean, it was against USL players, however he was absolutely dominant at the back. His positioning was first class, he was very simplistic, he made multiple integral tackles, and his reaction time was next to perfect. He was the MOM
Jimmy Brennan - 7 - moved forward dangerously, delivered quite a few dangerous balls forward and into the box, and didn't have any glaring mistakes at the back. It was a solid performance from Brennan.
Marco Velez - 7.5 - Scored the goal, which was a fantastic header by the way, and was solid at the back. He knew when he was beat, and made a smart tackle to eliminate the threat. Other than that, he kept his cool, had good positioning, and made multiple tackles. ANother good performance from Marcoo..... Velez!!!!!!
Marvell Wynne - 6 - Wasn't really challenged that often, however I felt he pushed too far forward and forced Velez to cover for him at the back. He made a few tackles, but he did nothing special and was beat on a couple occassions. Nothing fantastic from Wynne.
Greg Sutton - 6.5 - Didn't do much of anything tonight, however he had some solid positioning on a couple occassions, which forced some shots wide. He wasn't challenged enough to get a high rating.
Jarrod Smith - 4 - Virtually non existent up front, let's not try that again. He looked much better on the flank, and looked lost playing alongside Cunny.
