They spent so much money, time learning and setting the damm thing up in stead of working on tactics ....shit they could have hired me and i would have done it on the fly for cheap!

I agree. People were questioning Barret, Carver kept him going. Football isn't always about the immediate win, and TFC hopefully aren't going to turn to the recent European style of quick-firing the coach. I've got faith in the club and it's commander, and a family can't be built on threat of dismissal.
People will always question Barrett. He scored 1 goal in 5 games with umpteen scoring chances this season.
1 goal, does not mean he's going to be a goal scoring machine.
And yes, after this disappointment so far, you'd have to imagine Carver's job would be on the line (But generally your job is always on the line when your team does not produce).
Napoli73 that is cruel but hilarious genius. Your Barrett and Harmse dots are perfect. But why is there a dot in the right back position, that surely isn't suposed to be Marvell Wynne is it? he's never there.
Dont forget any coach from outside of this league would prob have to have a season or two to adjust so we'd prob have to start from scratch
forget Burke.. he gets a free pass for now.... how about Brian Colangelo?
he was this god of the NBA GMs.... comes in to a team, does OK, then eventually stinks.
Did he lose his god-like ability in 3 seasons?
hahaha!! ROFLMFAO... THIS IS BY FAR THE GREATEST POST IN THE HISTORY OF THIS BOARD...They spent so much money, time learning and setting the damm thing up in stead of working on tactics ....shit they could have hired me and i would have done it on the fly for cheap!
You just forgot to put the dot for Carver moaning in the 4th official's ear all game, and then it's our perfect game plan...
LOL thanks! This illustration shows general ball movement, tomorrow I shall post player movements.
that's hilarious. you get an A.They spent so much money, time learning and setting the damm thing up in stead of working on tactics ....shit they could have hired me and i would have done it on the fly for cheap!

There ya go lol
People aren't asking for his head because he is a proven GM with a history of success ... something that Mo lacks. Given enough time, it is more likely that he will steer the ship in the correct direction.
In addition, you can't disregard the team's tremendous record in his first full season in Toronto.
WOW - you're so bright that you failed to see that the basis of my comment is you are comparing a GM to a coach. Since when do they have the same role? Carver is responsible for how the current players on the team perform, Burke is responsible for bringing players into the team. If you want to make a Burke comparision try comparing him to Mo, DUH!!!
Not only that, he brought players in that were expected to make the playoffs this year. By ALL ACCOUNTS. So who's to blame? the only people you can blame there are the players. I'd love to blame Mitchell, but the team did no better with him gone. It's really hard to blame an interim coach as well.
Will everyone just chill out. JC & Mo still have 1083 days left on the 5 year plan to get things going.
Patience people, pleeease

WHAT 5-YEAR PLAN?!
Who outside of this forum has ever mentioned a 5-Year Plan?!
It's starting to sound like the whole "MLS has decreed all new teams play in Soccer-Specific Stadia" that people are always talking about even though its not true.
Did the USA , of all countries, just fix soccer? - C. Ronaldo, May 27th commenting on the FBI-led investigations into fraud and corruption throughout FIFA.
On paper, TFC's 2009 roster is certainly more talented than 2008's.
Aside from O'Brian White, Carver's roster options/selection's are totally his - no excuses.
So far this season, On-the-field, the team is crap; no width, no shape, little in possession, poor support, on and off-the-ball.
There are 2 main reasons for a team not having shape, width, possession and/or support.
1) Players have no idea what they are supposed to do; or
2) Players are doing as instructed.
Either explanation = Carver.
Is the man clueless, probably not; but his way (style/tactics/methods) is not conducive to acquiring points.
More importantly and perhaps more telling is TFC STILL LACK a quality CB and a striker - this reality is not Carver's responsibility or fault. Its not like we don't have chances to score; and its not that we can't defend - nobody takes control, and under pressure its panic mode at the back.
But what talent there is, it is not being properly or fully utilized - this reality is ALL Carver.
Mo will throw Carver under the bus once he senses a threat or pressure from ML$E brass, and only then will Carver be tossed. That act alone buys Mo another season. Mo will have to eat picking "the wrong" gaffer(s) during his plan.

I just finished mapping the player movement, combined with the ball movement i hope it gives us a better understanding of what we have to work on in training.
I'm curious, what does the shit ref'n have anything to do with Carver's ass being on the line? oh, not the best thing to start your post by saying "to all you complainers" and then going on to complain yourself
excellent work again. especially Dichio's dot.I just finished mapping the player movement, combined with the ball movement i hope it gives us a better understanding of what we have to work on in training.
ha-ha love it, especially Carver "discussing" with the 4th official.I just finished mapping the player movement, combined with the ball movement i hope it gives us a better understanding of what we have to work on in training.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
Finally I see Carver's game plan. Excellent. Well maybe it can work. Maybe Chivas so confused that they just sit down in confusion, while we waltz into the box, and kick the ball into the net. However, they are holding shape, I am not sure that is part of the plan.I just finished mapping the player movement, combined with the ball movement i hope it gives us a better understanding of what we have to work on in training.
