On another note, I'm thinking the lack of a real RB these two games means that something is up with Bloom - has he got a knock?

Bendik with cat-like reflexes
nice reflex save by bendik on that deflected shot

I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

TFC getting ripped apart on right flank. Boss needs more help from Lambe

Vintage Bednik, great shot stopper, woefully inaccurate distribution.
Until Nelsen is gone TFC will still play long balls and not keep the ball and play through the ground. It's again too direct. Old England tactics.
what a terrible giveaway by Bekker.

I think they would actually like to keep the ball & build up play, but they don't have a clue what to do when the other team crowds the midfield to stop their buildup. Just like vs. Columbus.
We have absolutely nothing going forward.
Orlando is playing 5 in the midfield and choking out Bekker's ability to pass. TFC isn't getting enough players in the midfield to help out at the right time

Worked the ball well out of the back there.
About a minute ago, he had 40 yards of clear field ahead of him to the box ... and he pushed it wide.
Bekker is making the right passes most of the time when he isn't getting crowded out though. encouraging

That's what training is for. Pass and move. It's not that difficult. It's about positioning and finding open space. Look at other MLS teams. Look at their possession rates during the regular season. They usually win.
I looked on the Twitter feed, I'd be interested to know who's on the bench?
Why are we sitting 15 yards behind the half life defensively? Man, so far this looks like last year's team. Cohesiveness, schmohesiveness.
this Boden guy for Orlando is having way too much space on right flank. Boss needs to be more aware of him

LOL at all the TFC players just standing & staring at Jeremy Hall when he had the ball a few minutes ago in the midfield. So of course Hall gets the ball stripped, didn't have anywhere to go except maybe way back.
If we played like this against an MLS club, we'd get slaughtered. ANY MLS club
nice bit of pass and move there between Weedman and lambe

Well, this is kind of a B team for us.
Thank you to MLS/TFC/Orlando or who ever is responsible for the proper stream.
Is this too much to ask for?
A preseason game with the B team out there is not going to tell us how we are going to play during the regular season.
That and with Bradley and Osorio, we didn't do this.
We did last game. And indeed we got slaughtered, despite what the scoreline said.
But why even keep some of these guys when there's not a whit of improvement from last year? Our movment is awful, our work rate shoddy;
Good thing we're not going to start our reserve team in MLS
But you would think that even our reserve team should be comfortably ahead of the D3 team that is OC.
For real. I don't want to jinx it but I think this is the first TFC stream I've ever watched that had no issues.
Concerning that two entirely different groups of TFC players seem to face similar tactical obstacles in getting past a team that crowds the mid.
