    Exclamation POST GAME THREAD: Columbus-2 vs Toronto-0



    Well Here's my player ratings to start:

    Frei = 3
    Attakora = 5
    Brennan = 5
    Harden = 4
    Garcia = 4
    Gala = 3
    Cronin = 5
    DeGuzman = 5
    Saric = 5
    White = 4
    DeRosario = 6
    LeBrocca = 5
    Sayang = 3


    Horrid game, I hope every game is not like this. If they wanted frei to come out often they should of being playing further back, but that goal was Frei's fault.

    How can you give Garcia a 4?

    Give him a -55.

    Just what I expected. Garcia is shit. Not even smacking around Big Bird makes up for his shit play. Preki better sit his ass down or any respect I have for him will evapourate.

    Same problems from last season with Frei, he can stop a shot in close (which God knows we need with this backline) but makes extremely stupid decisions that lead to chances when not needed...

    Frei lacks "control". If he can get his head staright and make the right decision to attack the ball, even 70% of the time, he'd be a much stronger keeper...

    On the flip side, I can't blame him for not trusting our backline, and therefor challenging for balls he has no business challenging - as they're terrible...

    Yup, that's right. he's worried what you think of him.

    That photograph is all too appropriate. A terrible game, but no one should be surprised. The back four are a mess; we were controlled by Columbus; the strikers had too few opportunities. The roster is completely lacking in talent, our off-season transactions were, on balance, to our detriment. Looking forward, can we expect to score against New England, and to at least salvage a point?

    The supporters groups need to work together, and make it our mission to get Mo fired as soon as possible. Seriously.

    He should have been fired for the sins of the past three years, let alone the salary cap debacle this team is now, or his inability to get us a competent central defender or striker yet again.

    This is it. The SG's need to make their opinions known, as loudly as possible. It needs to happen ASAP, so the next guy can have as much time as humanly possible to start clearing out the rot.

    He should be ashamed of himself, giving Preki such a crap, lopsided roster to work with.

    Nick Garcia is to defending as Taco Bell is to people.

    They're guaranteed to make you throw a shit fit.

    I'm surprised with most people's reaction to this game ... we played a lot better then I thought we would. 10x better then those preseason games ... especially in the 2nd half

    There was some over exaggeration on the overall performance in the other thread. Other than the CB's the rest played well imo. We kept the ball at times, did provide dangerous chances (which I can't even recall doing in previous seasons in Columbus).

    I don't know if Gargan is good or not, but if we put him on RB and move Nana to replace Garcia, we could be a lot more solid.

    Attakor was out of position to much today.

    Btw I am a little confused as to why Gala started at the right, and Cronin started on the left. Shouldn't it be the opposite?

    I thought Brennan had a really good game.

    Columbus controlled the game and maintained possession for the most part.
    TFC showed a few odd flashes of brilliance but the was no finish (big surprise).

    I'm not a big fan of kneejerk reactions, but after THAT shit, they had better give us a damn good showing before they return to BMO, and if not, I'm all in favour of a huge 'sack Mo' banner.

    Garcia's clearance was brutal on the 2nd goal......at least in the post game interview he admitted he did a shitty job at his clearance. Regardless, so far my prediction of no wins this season is right on track

    TBH, Dero was awful in the first half and it was like playing with 10 men... he did play better as the game progressed...

    Regarding the second goal... sure Frei gets fouled, but as a goalkeeper anything outside of the box is fair and knowing that - Frei should put himself 150% through his man on the tackle... just as the columbus attacker did... and to make matters worse, the ball falls to Garcia who botched his clearance off Frei's back...onto the foot of GBS..

    The thing about the Garcia clearance is he had a lot of time to actually put his foot on the ball, control it and pass it or punt it. The columbus player actually thinks the ref will call a foul so he is walking in the opposite direction to Garcia and the ball. That doesn't matter to Garcia though who despite having a entire pitch in front of him he panics and blasts it off of the keepers back, what an idiot.

    for the first time I am not that upset about a loss. I guess my expectation was so low that us losing by 2-0 I considered to be not a bad game.

    Some observations:
    - Frei is coming out more, because he doesn't trust his defense...that has to change....or Frei will get hurt (similiar to the 2nd goal)
    - Harden played well early on, but then got a case of the Garcia's and started to play like him
    - Garcia was horrible, hopefully Preki can see that finally!!!
    - JDG was asking for the ball to much, which kinda took the other players out of the game (Cronin). On a few occassions when Cronin was in posession and trying to move up the pitch, JDG called for the ball
    - the front 2 got better as the game progressed. OBW looks much better than he did in pre-season.

    I just found it extremely ironic that one of the only players we had linking play going forward (Gala) was subbed on 60 minutes.

    Saric works hard. raw, raw raw. He made numerous bad passes, wasn't dangerous taking on the man, and overall is nothing but average.

    If this is the kind of guy we're pulling for, we might as well fold up shop right now. Working hard when your 30% as effective as your opposition is a formula for failure.

    Garcia was that bad. A back pass that almost went for a breakaway, not clearing the ball out of bounds on the second goal, pinching up into the midfield and leaving the fullbacks with a 30 yard sprint to catch his mark.

    Here is the positive:
    - LaBrocca looks like a tidy player on the wing.
    - Our team defense wasn't bad positionally
    - Nana and Brennan looked very comfortable.
    - Harden got better but needs to get up to the speed of play.
    - O'Brian White got better when he used his size to shield the ball
    - Both DeRo & De Guzman looked better when they were deeper in the midfield
    - Saric looked alright.
    - We all competed hard right to the end even after we were down 2-0.

    Frei is like Tim Howard on the USMNT.

    The defense is so fucking terrible that they'll make risky decisions and take matters into their own hands. Some times it works, other times it doesn't.

    Stat box had it 45 - 55 in favor of columbus at half.

    The first 10 minutes were ok. We had nothing going forward however. about 25 minutes in Columbus started pressuring up top and we looked useless.
