    Kocic just did what Frei has never done.

    Kocic does what Frei has never done before! Saved a penalty.

    Harden is a numbskull, it's not piling on him, he just isn't good enough.

    Takes one penalty for Kocic to save one. Ahem, Frei.

    the one frustrating part about plata is that he has every single tool in the toolbox, but can't seem to put it together for the finish.

    IS it just me or is this Crew goalie falling too much.

    Kocic is awesome.

    Well that will leave me with a bit of a good feeling at the end of the half.

    Hugely lacking a catalyst up front. Our attack looks incredibly mechanical.

    Bullshit. It was a dive to save a cross or shot on target. Stop blaming Harden.

    seemed to me he went to ground trying to block any cross that was coming in. the replay shows that his legs didn't touch the columbus player.

    Eckersley is completely owning their left winger.

    JDG controlled the midfield really well. Dunfield needs to be crisper on his passes.

    Koevermans has been pretty dangerous, his first goal feels like it's coming soon.

    Emory's doing fine too.

    Ty Harden jumps in when he had the opposition player in a position which posed no danger to TFC. Of course opposition forwards look for the penalty. A smart defender would never do that. Stop being such an apologist for Ty Harden.

    You can tell that Frei never even tried on penalties. His body language always seems to be 'enh, what's the point?'

    People are blaming him for going to ground when there was no need. If he didnt go to ground, there would be no penalty.

    I have to agree. His incremental improvements since coming to Toronto are not enough to have him anywhere other than the bench... if that. Winter needs to ship him off in the summer if Logan Emroy steps up and Cann is back.

    Decent half, but we gotta create more goal scoring opportunities. We lack movement off the ball.

    I don't think it was a penalty in the first place too.

    Yes the 6 yard box with the ball in play poses no threat. Are you blind?

    How often does Plata have that bad first touch, often running backwards? Jesus.

    Koev needs to be more clinical. That one where the ball fell to him should have been hit better.

    Back to the play, ball rolling away from goal. Yes. Just pressure him towards to the corner.

    Let's face it he has been poor, nevertheless he couldn't do much avoiding the penalty.

    It seems to me that a lot of our penalties are converted in the blindspots, right beside either post, away from the run of play, as the ball is leaving or is on its way out.

    Traditionally this is because the centre defender isn't thinking two moves ahead - there isn't a lot you can do from that position, so what needs to happen is, the fullback needs to make himself available, and the centre defender needs to make sure he's blocking the route back into the middle of the park, leaving the opposing player with nowhere to go except outward, where Morgan/Eckersley is awaiting to make the next challenge.

    Instead, we're slide tackling and causing penalties, time and time again, from this very same position.

    Also when does player diving and going to ground constitute the defenders fault. That's just shitty logic.

    Which he did and should have been the call.

    Bad call by the ref, but the blame is also on Harden for giving the Columbus player an excuse to go down.

    People seem to be thinking that you must pick a side and be either a Harden apologist or a anti-Harden.
    I just want people to give criticism when it's needed (and not blind scapegoating), and also give praise where it's due.

    A balanced view on my RPB forums? It's more likely than you think.

    We need some movement and we need Silva's trickery.

    Both Plata and DK have been busts so far this season (all official games and even preseason).
    I hope they will play sometimes VERY SOON at least close to what they have shoved us in 2011, because right now they are light-years far from that.

    He gave the player an excuse to go down. I'll bet if you're a parent it's never your kids' fault when they get in trouble too, right, it's always someone elses fault?
