http://fc.dallas.mlsnet.com/news/tea....jsp&team=t104

This is going to be his first game with FCD. I hope we are aware of him on the field, he is supposedly pretty good!

I read the article, but what caught my attention was the ad for tickets for FC Dallas

Definitely a must win at all costs otherwise our very positive start on the road psychologically will be insignificant. I disagree with the idea of Vitti playing as the lone striker in whatever formation because he doesn't have the instincts in the box to get into key scoring opportunities plus his aerial presence is non-existant. He's a second striker by all accounts and it would be foolish to play him anywhere else especially with 2 players in Guevara-De-Ro who share similar characteristics.

I think we need to start looking at Ricketts and why Cronin shouldn't start ahead of him.

Like to see Frei back in the net..i have more confidence in him then Sutton...
Hope TFC take the gmae to Dallas right from the start...just go after em

I was thinking this too. Sutton came out to cut the angle on both goals conceded to Seattle, and both times he got burned. Is Frei ready to come back?

For those going to the game, the Dallas fans on BS are worried that goalie Ray Burse is easily shaken by the crowd.

In case anyone needed prodding.

[GBV]

pinnacle has toronto listed as -0.5 +100.

BRING YOUR VOICE, BRING YOUR PASSION and WALK ON.



EAT IT

[grimm]

Any word on Dallas supporters making the long haul up here?

[GBV]

^ they don't even get those at home.

lmao... this has to be a joke.

he's gonna shit himself on saturday if thats the case.

[Red Rat]

Any word on Dallas supporters making the long haul up here?

last year they had about 6 guys up here, they will bring some for sure

[Yohan]

I kinda regret trading Dunivant now.

Because I think Brennan is a better LW than LB. Defensively not so good, but offensively can still bring it.

And we seemed to have a winger shortage situation.

[Rocco]

2-1 TFC, Vitti and Dero

I agree with Techno on the lineup. The only thing I would change is Frei

------------------ Frei-----------------

-------- VELEZ ----------- SERIOUX ---------

WYNNE------------ROBBO ----------BRENNAN

CRONIN---------------------------- RICKETTS
-----------GUEVARA------- DERO-----------

-------------------- VITTI------------------

The same guy who threw the streamer at us after our fourth goal last season?

You let 4 goals in
You let 4 goals in
You let 4 goals in

Cuntingham is in the doghouse already!

how soon we forget:



followed by this the same game






This lynch mob for Rohan is ridiculous and sickening. . .

He has given us some Stellar performances, and has SO much to contribute to the success of this team. period.

Yes, he has started off a bit pear-shaped and has made some mistakes
but it would be just as easy to point out others for lack-lustre performances.

Could it be that he misses having Wynne as his wing partner?
could it be because our offensive creation as a whole the last 2 games has seen him cleaning up messes and back-heeling to cover for it?

The only citisizm I have for him so far this season is that I wish he would run into the deep corner to create an option / target.
His crosses with his left foot have been totally acceptable
nothing would get near the box should Cronin have ot use HIS left foot. .

its a paradox.

Buddy i hope you are right. But man has he ever looked terrible out there. 2 good games does not make in a starter in the starting 11.

Damn he has stunk.

U must have a crush on him

[rocker]

I kinda regret trading Dunivant now.

Dunivant still hasn't played for LA yet due to injury.
who knows how he's gonna be when he gets back.

I gotta go to work early this morning but is the game at 4pm like the schedule says or 3:30 like the tickets and TFC splash screen states?

[Bloor West FC]

That I like.

Same here! Its going to be a great day!!!

Loving the 4-3-3 set up. With Dichio up top to hold up the ball and flick on, or lay off to Vitti or DeRo....delicious

I love this idea for a lineup/formation, but what do you think the chances are that Carver actually starts with a 4-3-3?

I'd love to see us regularly use a formation like this, or even a 4-2-3-1, since our strengths are obviously on the attack. Plus, two CDM's would take a lot of pressure off of our CB's, which would benefit Velez/Harmse.

Thought I'd pass this one along, it's from an old NCAA scouting report on FC Dallas keeper Roy Burse.

While at OSU, his worst performances were on the road, usually in hostile environments.

Good I have no love for OSU.

----------------Frei------------------
Wynne----Velez-----Serioux------Brennan
---------Robbo--------Cronin-------------
---------------Guevara-------------------
---------Vitti------------DeRo--------------
----------------Dichio---------------------

That formation is too narrow. Robbo, Cronin and Vitti won't get out wide. It will make it easy for the other team to mark our midfield out of the game.

[citroc2003]

2 tix available in Section 126 row 3 seats 1 & 2. Call 416 254-4731 if interested. Face for both is $70.

[Shakes McQueen]

I thought our formation in KC was a pretty good one:

-----------Dichio-----------------
---------------DeRo--------------
----------------------------------
Ricketts-----Guevara--------Cronin
----------------------------------
--------------Robbo--------------
----------------------------------
Brennan--Serioux--Harmse--Wynne
---------------Frei---------------

Sort of a defensive 4-4-2, with DeRo as the second striker.

As noted above, I would have Dichio as striker, since he's a far better target man than Barrett. I have Ricketts in there, just because I'm not sure what other player I would have start as a left winger. DeRo is far more effective up the middle.
