Who Should Start In Goal For TFC vs. Vancouver Tonight?

[Redcoe15]

Frei is hot, but maybe we put Sutton in to give Frei a rest. Its an interesting question that has been bantied about.

[a.ungaro]

Frei.

[rocker]

Frei.

as of today he's only played 1 game in 9 days. He won't be tired. he's better than sutton.

[a.ungaro]

way better.

[olegunnar]

The MLS season is 30 games
This Cup Comp is 4

I don't understand why people are acting as if these are exhibition games. Lets rest Frei against LAG or SJ or NYRB.
Why we'd play a 2nd rate keeper (or any 2nd rate players) in an important game like this is beyond me.

[Lucky Strike]

Definitely Frei. He's the hot hand and the proven #1. Though rotation is important, it's not as much so with goalkeepers.

AMEN

[SQUIRREL]

Frei....This game is important. I won't be happy unless we win. I know people don't respect this tourny because we play Vancouver and Montreal (both teams we have very little respect for) but regardless if we respect them there in the way of us playing in the Champions Leauge which to me will be the real accomplishment. To me there is nothing bigger than the Champions League. Play your starting XI and win this garbage tourny

[Pachuco]

Frei hands down. No questions asked.

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

Frei is our No 1 keeper for the season...keep him in....Sutton can get games for Canada at the gold cup

its not a exhibtion as sorts but its a 3 team tournament for a national championship...its hard to take a 3 team tournament serious at times
even though winning it does have a lot more to offer...we need cities
like Edmonton.Calgary, Winnipeg, London, Ottawa,Quebec City to get
franchise in the usl or MLS to make the competition more serious

[T.Reis]

I would pick Frei.

I'm all for giving certain guys a rest during this stretch of games the next 2 weeks, but the keeper should be OK to go.

I will admit that Sutton being Canadian would be nice, atleast for him, but TFC want competition among all positions for a reason, and who ever is playing better has to play.

[mclaren]

I'm an advocate of playing your best team and Frei is our best goalkeeper so Frei for me.

[T0R0NT0 FC]

Frei.

[Northern Soul]

Frei. Goalkeepers generally don't need 'rest'. He's our best option.

[sulfur]

Edwards!

[denime]

Coach must have a good reason to start Sutton tonight,and that's why I don't care who is a goalie.All I want is 3 points.

[RPB_RED_NATION_RPB]

FRIE for sure....but the kid needs a break at some point!


I have all the convidence in the world for sutt's to preform well vs Couver!

no worries here!

[BuSaPuNk]

Frei has to start. We need the best starting 11 for this game and Frei is playing fantastic. Give him the start and field the best team. The opurtinity of CL play is more important than one leauge game.

[T.Reis]

Edwards!

LOL, there's always got to be one person!!!!

[MrHawk]

I think Sutton should start, to give Frei possibly a bit of a breather.

He has 5 games this month, all vs fairly stiff competition.

We should play our best team and that means playing Frei. If Frie needs a rest then rest him for the DC match. Dropping points against DC would be bad but not as bad as losing against Vancouver...so we need our top players.

[FluSH]

Frei is the real deal...

[Fort York Redcoat]

Sutton. Frei is hot but I don't think sitting this one out will shake him. Sutton is no slouch BTW.

Looks like you are right, they will field the strongest team.

[Technorgasm]

Frei maybe hotter and younger. . and in some instances better. . .


but loyalty runs deep for me, and I think Greggy is 100% capable of getting the job done.



THERE'S ONLY ONE!
HES NUMBER ONE!
LIKE ME AND YOU
HE HATES THE WHITECAPS TOO!

[Pronto]

you really don't understand how important the 4 games are in the NCC. I'll just put it this way for you. It's all about money. Montreal last season had 50,000 fans in one game in the winter. Do the math 50,000*$20(On the avg.) what do you get? As far as I know MLS has nothing to do with NCC and CCL so money that you make goes to the club only.
I personally think the NCC and CCL are the only important games all year the MLS playoffs are a joke...

[MrHawk]

I realize how important they are to the club in terms of money.

I think the point I wanted to get across was that Frei will need a breather. Perhaps he'll sit vs DC this Saturday?

But as I posted above, Cummins will field the strongest team and this is good for us.

[Bloor West FC]

Sutton! He has prepared for this competition. He is still an amazing goalie and will do well. In Sutton we trust!!!!

[olegunnar]

Why are all the RPB such softies?

So what if Harmse and Sutton are Canadian
So what if Sutton got marooned on the bench by a young kid

Montreal won this cup last year
Vancouver came into BMO and beat us.

Last year was an embarassment. Adam Braz prancing around with the cup on our field.

Fuck that shit. It's time to show them we're big time their small time and teach them a lesson.

Beating the crap out of these wannabe MLS teams should be priority #1.

Not the feelings of our benchwarmers.
