I partly agree with this but here is one problem (among many) that TFC has always had.
TFC inflates the importance of their mediocre players and stifles their best players.
TFC (management, coaching staff and supporters) have made players like Jim Brennan, Carl Robinson and Marvell Wynne focal points with this team. Guys that you just can't win with, with them at the helm. These guys should be soldiers for you. They should be taking orders, not giving them.
If this team had been built around a player like Amado Guevara or now, JDG, you could have a bunch of "left wingers" so to speak, and still be successful.
The problem is that TFC is reluctant to play this way. TFC doesn't want to look like Seattle who, in their first season, built a ball possession based team and have found success. TFC is stuck in 1985. Kick and run...pace, pace, pace...bullshit.
The reason: Mo Johnston and whoever the hell it was that hired him.
sorry...should have just said that i kind of agree with you Cretan.
First rant of many, I'm sure. lol
