The team looked lost out there last night without him.
Sorry to the haters....but this team needs Amado

trade robbo and get a 2nd amado...
robbo's first 10 passes in the game have conceded possession 9 times...
although he stepped up in 2nd half...
and add a nasty DM and we will have a team
We go as Amado goes...been saying it for 2 seasons. He's the most important piece of our puzzle. When he plays well we win, without him we lose.
he is back in training.

he has one good game every 3 games it seems. that's just not acceptable

everytime his foot was on the ball you couldve counted the seconds he had until he lost it. he holds it when he needs to pass, he passes when he has time to hold it. there's nothing new to be said here.
as for AG. yup, we needed him baaaaaaaadly. we need to see how he and gerba play off of each other, but so far, he, vitti and dero are a fuckin force.
Absolutely. I couldn't tell if Vitti was trying to, or was told to play Amado's role last night. Either way, he's not that type of player and I don't think he has it in him.
We really could have used Guevara last night.
We sure do, Amado is so good on set plays and corners. Such a champ!
Brennan taking corner kicks the whole time??? WTF was that
Don't know why DeRo wasn't taking them but i'm not the coach
I don't know if he's to blame. He gets placed in a lot of different places on the field (role wise) due to the ever changing formation.
Amado needs to hold corner clinics... seriously I know at times he is a hit and miss... but when he hits!!!

Yeah it was pretty clear last night Cronin and Brennan were having issues.
* Cronin had some good balls in.
Brennan........ not so much
Barrett only got a couple in himself. he can make the runs and get into position, but he can't get the ball in at the right height or angle.
Amado where are you?

My MLS now includes Montreal... we needed someone to hate.
barrett also didn't see enough of the ball, esp in 2nd half

+10 And that set-piece needs to get worked out. The short-pass corner hasn't netted us a goal has it? Or even a decent chance? I might have missed it though, but 9x out of 10 it goes nowhere good.
2nd half yes, he didn't touch it enough. I thought he saw the ball more than enough in the first.
My reason for thinking he is the leading player of the year candidate to this point. As much as I appreciate DeRo and Dichio, nobody appears to have the impact on this team that Guevara has had this season.
Too much of the short kick, ones that had minimal impact. While it may be a planned play (like the Brennan run in on a corner from last year) it only works if everyone is onside. When TFC set up for a short corner last night, PR pulled their guys off the line and put them in the box. Reduces space in the box, creates an uneven matchup (many more PR players than TFC, who usually had 4 in there) and ties up two men on the outside (Brennan and Cronin). And, every now and again, get you called offside on the pass back to the corner.
Points for thinking about getting DeRo in the box on corners, but fail if the ball never gets into the box.
And you still get the odd offside on a corner, which is just wasting the ball.
There are people who dont like Amado?
vitti did what he could
but he had no one moving around to get open
Cronin and Rob are the same players.. Defensive Mids.. there was no one in the pocket to create chances.. we missed Amado bigtime.. Vitti couldnt fill his shoes.. DeRo was playing wide..
the coach should have adjusted earlier..
It is insulting to Cronin for you to compare him to Robbo.
Cronin can actually cross the ball.
He created probably our best chance of the night with his header across the box to Gerba.
If Robinson didnt have his Welsh accent he would have been gone after year one.
Finally a thread that makes sense. I have no idea why some people on these boards think Amado is so easily replacable. The fact of the matter is, when we are without him (EVEN if he is playing like shit) we are still a better team.
Take a look at what Puerto Rico did. They shutdown Dero because they could afford to close him down with multiple players at a time. Put Guevara on the field and he'll hurt you if you give him all the space Robbo and Cronin had in the middle. I was sitting there looking at the gaps PR left wondering why the fuck we didn't attack right down the middle. Only one reason, Amado wasn't on the field.
This is what I observed also. Barrett's crosses are poor. Gerba was finding the right spots in the penalty area all the time, but Barrett couldn't get him the ball. It took Cronin to do the job. Too bad Gaudette saved Gerba's chance.
I had this very thought last night. People that can't see what Amado brings to the team need to get their heads checked. Not only is he a creative force through the middle but he is one of the few players that seems confident enough to shoot from distance and with accuracy.
Not to mention that his presence doesn't make DeRo's desire to be a peripheral player as conspicuous.
that was Vitti's job
