    This team isn't finished. We can see where pieces are still missing. As long as we continue to progress and beat teams who are lower than us, we are on the right track. We are still a lot further ahead now than we were a year ago.

    He blows. Hall is limited but has the tenacity to challenge for balls. Bekker barely offers more in attack and lacks all defensive edge.

    You know.. put issey and osorio would have been a huge help.

    I'd like to see us pull one back anyway.

    DeRo seems reluctant. Not taking any charge.

    Bekker gets run over even faster & more often than Hall. I think Bekker has no chance vs RSL, he's not aggressive enough.

    Yes.

    Bekker is a bust.

    Issey with dangerous cross! So far, he looked decent out there.

    Nakajima-Farran has looked half-decent, at least.

    He has rough games, but potential is there.

    But really, we are beating our head against the wall with Mark Bloom out of position or Jeremy Hall... Not exactly any different.

    +1

    Score is misleading. We deserved to lose, but it's not like 2012.

    It would give Bekker a chance to show if he has any grit at all. With Hall we know exactly what we will get. He has reached his cap. Bekker I would argue has more upside . He needs minutes. Would a sub at 45th minute have been so bad? Now at the 77th minute a little late IMHO.

    Morrow almost got lucky. Let's see what Bekker can do.

    0 possession. if they lose two more games in this fashion ie dumb fuckers starting and 30% possession, I bet nelson is fired. Not that I want it, but this is Tim 'no excuses' Leiweke's baby. and he knows his name is on it

    Bloom has been positionally awful, even when at rb.

    think this game was always going to be hard; but tactically, I have to wonder how sensible it was playing a two-way tactical game with a central pairing that is so defensive-minded. Again, speaks to the lack of depth and lack of confidence in Bekker.

    Disagree. We need to see more from Bekker. Hall is NASL. Maybe Bekker is too idk.

    Some positive play in the past couple of minutes. Nice activity from Gilberto.

    hindsight, but on a game where you know you're going to be outmatched defensively in midfield, you don't put in a guy even more of a liability defensively than Hall. Bradley is not superman. he isn't going to hold centre mid all by himself. (not that Hall helped much)

    Bekker, in the mins he got for TFC and Canada, haven't shown the level of defensive ability and work rate needed to succeed as CM in MLS. and he's 23. going down Luis Silva road very fast

    Oh come on Bradley that should have been in. TFC looking bad tonight, but could easily have scored a couple of goals.

    The more I see of Bekker the less I like. He should just make short cameo appearances.

    Bekker has the skills to play in MLS, but his lack of athleticism and perhaps workrate is holding him back.
