    After a particularly tough day at the office for the TFC back line, a few thoughts on a player that Toronto FC should be looking into bringing to the team.

    McKenna the answer for TFC back line

    back to reality

    tough loss, but not really about coaching or players doing poorly, though both certainly had issues, more about the failure to build a squad that can handle so many games. 7 points in 7 games is about right really with the current bunch.

    Do you really think constant starters like Dunfield, Lambe, Emory, Hall and Avila are that much better than Stinson, Soolsma, DeGuzman, Silva and Williams? I don't see much difference in quality so I don't know why he doesn't use his full squad to keep the players fresh. To complain about a congested schedule and then never change your XI is stupid. The season is already done and Mariner is just trying to pad his stats in the short term rather than move this team forward.

    TFC Back To Losing Ways On The Road


    http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2012/07/losing-ways/


    When you are playing the same starting eleven game after game on three days rest this is what happens as TFC loses 3-0 to Philly


    In this video look back at the game I talk about the likely end of the Richard Eckersley at Centre Back experiment, how the brutal two games a week schedule is exposing for all to see the true lack of depth on this team and I address the increasing apathy that we are starting to see in the support around this team.

    Not good enough.

    TFC's short term fix needs some duct tape. Results under Mariner will not see MLSE realize its goal of promising hope at season ticket renewal time:

    Earl Cochrane says TFC has been talking about loaning Plata for several months. Did Winter know?

    I stop by WakingtheRed to ask.

    in some ways, Cockring is more damaging to TFC than Anselmi. Ambitious as hell, and all this posturing is just Cockring trying to prove to the brass that he's a big shot in TFC FO, regardless of what damage he does to the team. He wants Player Director job really bad

    Pre game previews, this could be a dull one, so let's hope for a feisty edge.

    know your enemy, looking at how the emergence of mattocks and introduction of Robson have changed things around a bit for the caps.

    Anselmi's Reds: Taking a Step Backwards?

    I look at the movement to adopt Klinsmann's model with the US Soccer Federation and all aspects of its development program. Their competitive, perfectionistic state is moving all of its resources into the plan we had but abandoned. What does it say about the future prospects for this team? I offer a guest blog on WakingtheRed.com

    This weekend marks another friendly, this time Liverpool FC is going to contribute some additional profits to our beloved owners.

    However, if you want to use the term meaningless to describe it, Gabe Gala would most likely respectfully disagree.

    Recalling what might be a personal story for the ages from the now Mississauga Eagles' player.

    I get why we traded for Hassli. What I don't get is why now?

    I agree with almost all of this.

    The lack of contingency planning is pretty striking. Is it really so shocking that Koevs, a 33 year old with an injury history that was being used like a rented mule, went down?

    I really don't understand why we can't just sign the best available DP striker, and keep the first round draft pick.

    TFC 3:16 says Mariner just whipped your ass!

    looking at stats beyond merely the 3 points to 16 points after 10 games of mariner to compare to 10 games of winter.
    passing, possession, throw ins, shots for and against and a whole bunch more and what it all tells us.

    Another stop by Waking the Red this morning to review a number of things that cross the mind of a TFC fan after a weekend

    http://www.wakingthered.com/2012/7/29/3200992/musings-from-a-toronto-fc-weekend#comments

    Inside:

    Where are all the people?
    Hassli is NOT Koevermans Replacement so could this turn out to be the worst deal ever if Hassli becomes a rental or a scary tandem for 2013?
    No panic from Mariner? Ok, what was Hassli about then?
    Koevermans - Frings Importance Theory
    Ryan Johnson on Mariner's lack of complexity
    Mariner owes fans an explanation on Mellberg
    Possession is 9/10ths of everything
    Did you know, CONCACAF group stage this year requires us to win the pool
    On the plus side

    Lacklustre Home Loss – TFC 0 – Dynamo 2

    http://viewfromthesouthstands.com/2012/07/lacklustre/

    Some brief video thoughts on a lacklustre display Saturday past by Toronto FC at home versus Houston Dynamo that saw TFC go down to defeat 2-nil at home. I also address the recent controversy surrounding TFC Front Office staffer Earl Cochrane and take a look ahead to the possible debut of Eric Hassli on Champions League night this coming Wednesday.
