    You do have something right... it is tactics... I would put my money on Vitti under different coaching tactics as well...

    Unfortunately this game was not one for Gerba to start... not one bit. Was anyone surprised that Jadeosingh for PR did not start the game even though he was the dagger for TFC? The PR coach was not afraid to decide he was not the best man for the starting 11 simple as that... I'm sure Gerba will score goals... but putting him on tonight was a tall order.

    I love that play so much. Im glad we dont try anything else.

Unless you can get quality service upfront you can't do shit. Not even Torres could score with this midfield supplying him the punt it into the box service. When a team plays like Puerto Rico you have to be creative and patient. They were crowding the middle so you have to switch the ball and change your point of attack. If you hoof it into the box, well that's what they want you to do.
    Exactly. Gerba is going to poach you goals IF YOU GIVE HIM THE CHANCE!!!!! No service means he's got shit all to do.

    Vitti baffles me, and seriously...I want him gone unless he can go off those rails on a crazy train and go wild.
    Still possibly the only known RPB to appear on Masterchef Canada.

    Yup - it's time to move forward. It's not our first defeat, and it won't be our last. It's disappointing as hell, but I do feel that right now, in our 3rd season, we don't have the squad to play both CCL and MLS. Maybe next year. But the one fear I did have about the CCL is that we would have likely finished last, and then at the same time dropped the ball in the MLS. Now we can focus 100% on the play-offs, and then next year return to do some serious damage in the Canadian Cup, and then compete in CCL and the MLS in a better way.

    Yeah ... Mo's eyes probably lit up when he discovered that the concept of GM is very common in sports across North America. No wonder he scurried upstairs as soon as the second season ... he would have been unemployed by now had he not made that decision.

    I agree Barrett does have hart. But I still stand by my comments
    he has no touch and no Soccer sense.

    and I agree Guevara play like garbage. But he is still more creative with the ball and is a set play specialist.

    Guevara is more valuable to this team on the pitch and even more important ON THE TRADE MARKET

    Agreed. He certainly should not be brought in with what 15 minutes left. What is the point.

    LOL a Big Loss but to avoid getting pissed off at people on the boards calling for everyone`s head and BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

    I am not going to log back on for a while. But I will give my piece of mind and you can read if you want.

    We lost a big game yes! BUT to be 10000% honest I am not that gutted. My goal for the team this year was for the MLS cup and the Canadian Championship. Our team is not deep enough to go through TWO leagues

    We won our first cup ever and that is fucking WONDERFUL! Did anyone seriously think that we had a chance of going through TWO very competitive leagues and succeeding??

    We need to get to the playoffs and go deep into the MLS Cup Playoffs; If by a chance we win the MLS Cup we get a by into the group stage??? (If I am wrong I apologize).

    We make the playoffs there is a lot more money put into the revenue that TFC brings in. Improve our team and get better.

    FOCUS on what is achievable!!

    AND I know people are going to say ohhhhh we've been here for 3 years and we ahvent done anything e.t.c Is really not realistic because anyone who considers that first year of playing a actual season is truly delusional.

    Our team has gotten considerably better! Just give it time people.

    ZEN is your bestfriend!

    BOH! and that is my piece.

    Is it just me, or do our players have BIG problems bringing down a long ball while in motion? It reminds me of watching myself play. These a professionals, they should be able to bring the ball down while moving at the same time. This is why our counter-attacks are always so SLOW. The other team catches up while we're trying to settle the ball down.

    I felt bad for Gerba in the first half. Poor guy was winning balls, but had no support. The 4-5-1 didn't work as planned. I wouldnt mind seeing Gerba-Dichio up front for curiousity's sake.

    Despite crossing some ugly looking balls I thought Barrett had a large impact on the game. We were missing his legs in the first half big time.

    well the reason we do is because MO suck shit on the field... and since he is such a buddy buddy with MLSE... how could they let him go? are you kidding me... This guy will be in the organization for ever...if you think they;ll fire him even if we don;t make the play offs... keep dreaming...NOT GONNA HApPEN

    Well, nothing is forever. But I think you're right, MLSE will stick with him longer than they should.

    I never liked to get into this, but now I think it's a mistake to look to the UK to run an MLS team. Unfortunately, MLSE will probably stick with UK guys running the team for a long time (this is the same organization that should have made Anders Hedberg GM of the Leafs but didn't have the balls).

    How do you know? We haven't had the "best coach in the world" yet - or even just a "really good" coach. We've had John Carver, and his former Luton Town Academy coach apprentice.

    Mo didn't tell DeRo to go out there and play like shit tonight. Mo didn't tell Vitti, Guevara, or anyone else to go and lay an egg.

    We weren't let down by the "shit" players Mo has brought in tonight - guys like Velez. We were let down by proven quality players, and bad coaching.

    Gerba will score. He cannot score every game. He cannot turn a player but that is not his game.

    LOL ground hog day science experiments...

    But you're right, Gerba needs some work. He does have the talent and power to be a striker though. I totally expected this of him, to be perfectly honest.

    I have said it before and i will say it again....as long as Brennan is our leader and starting every game this team will never succeed...time for Gomez. i am tired of watching this team put crosses into the box at any given chance.....i could understand if we were good at it but we SUCK at it.

    Gerba is days away from becoming Fat Buddle v2. You can't look like that and not have a huge strike rate.

    While I agree that we need dichio 100%, it doesn't do much good when 90% of the crosses are 4' off the ground.

    I HATE THREE LIONS. WHY CAN'T WE PLAY REAL FOOTBALL? Seriously, gut these f-bags. Play on the ground, not in the air, we gave more balls to Puerto than their own team did.

    I do think this roster with a better coach would win more games. This team has controlled many games and then given them away in the last few minutes. Everyone here complains about the way the roster is used, especially towards the end of the games.

    Calling for the entire team and management to be blown up every time we play some shit games, isn't realistic.

    - Scott
    I agree, to ask that management and the team get blown up every time we play shit is ridiculous. But when the shit occurs on a regular basis, especially in big games. What than ? Should we keep taking this shit time and time again. Besides the tainted victory in Montreal, this team has never shown up when it counts. So you can keep taking the shit, in the meantime fire Cummins.
