Matchday 9: Toronto at Sporting Kansas City, 23 May 830pm

[cochrdoc]

How many goals has Henry given up in the last 2 years.From penalty kicks,fouls or bad passes.And they say this guy is going to Europe soon.I do not know how Nelson can play him.He does not learn from his mistakes.Haglund has come in and done a fine job.2 years ago this team said it needed 2 center backs.I do not think the problem has been solved.I do not understand Nelson`s decisions.Another goal given up in the last 10 minutes.We play KC`s back up team tonite and got schooled again.Time for management to find us a coach that can get this team to compete,because I haven`t seen it yet.Were we promised the play-offs

[tfcleeds]

Wow - a draw! Still we played like garbage overall.

[T-boy]

A point gained there.

Hagglund is looking better and better. And he makes Henry look clumsy!

Also loving Lovitz whenever he comes on, he really likes to run at defenders, not affraid to take players on and run.

[2mil4dero+santo]

Well I needed some comedy tonight and our back line never disappoints hehe...

[OgtheDim]

Something for everybody in that game.

Those who hate Nelsen can complain about his tactics.

Those who want to ditch Gilberto can say he was useless.

Those who wish we had Laba can say we lacked a decent DM.

Those who dislike Bekker can rail on him.

Those who don't like Toledo can yell at him.

Gosh that was ugly.


That must be what supporting Stoke under Pulis was like.

[Soccerpro]

TFC draw this game, but still not a great performance, I have started writing my list of which players TFC need to release or at least look at their position within the club if we want to go forward

The list contains:
Kyle Bekker
Dwayne De Rosario
Jeremy Hall
Alvaro Rey
Ryan Richter
Andrew Weideman
Doneil Henry

It's sad to see our Canadians being especially crap. Don't forget Ashtone Morgan played so bad earlier this year that he's been banished from the pitch (aside from ccl I think).

[Donald Duck]

happy with the result. the boys did fight hard until the end. But is time to throw Henry back to reserve team.

[SirBobSaget]

Haha how many times has devis said its a learning lesson for the youngster about Henry . It's true if he was American we would run him out

[Mak]

Nielsen is pissing me off....I get Gilberto has not had a good game...but bringing on Henry for a forward...wtf is he thinking??? Then Henry has almost lost a 3rd game for us.....he is completely shit and should never see the field again. Arguing now...what an idiot.

Careful, you're starting to make too much sense for some people on here to handle, expect some flak lol...

well maybe if we didn't trade issey...
ashtone didn't seem that bad. like nowhere near henry bad

[Lumpy]

I think Bradley Orr should start every game.

[defensor]

I think Bradley Orr should start every game.

no doubt. and hagglund

[ManUtd4ever]

Ugly point, but I'll gladly take it under the circumstances. I can't recall any team I've watched over the years coming from behind twice in one half while being down a man. That was a remarkable comeback.

Warner looked very solid in his debut tonight. As for Henry...

True these guys are pretty bad, and I was ragging on many of them during the game. However, just remember that Jacob Peterson won a championship with KC. The weakest link for TFC seems to still be the coaching & team composition. We have many good players, but TFC is not putting the right pieces together nor playing them in a way that lets them succeed.

Umm, we lost a centre half to a red card?

[Ruffian]

That was a very week penalty call.

[mitchf]

It really sucks knowing there's a pretty low ceiling for this team. Two absolutely unbelievable players and yet a few incompetent midfielders will hold us back from doing anything. This type of soccer is just awful to watch.

You can criticize Nelsen's tactics (and probably should) but his teams find ways to get points in these games. The TFC of old wouldn't. Old TFC would have packed it in in the 75th minute.

[LFC8]

Looks like we found a friend for Defoe and his names Luke Moore

[Oldtimer]

KC gives up the tie on a late goal while up a man. You can see it feels like a loss to them.

We know the feeling all too well, for so many years past.

I give Nelsen 2/10 for tactics, they were terrible.

Who cares about old TFC? This team isn't designed or built to be just ok and accept mediocrity. We've basically accepted losing money in order to please the fans and "win". We won't win and it's really too bad.

I'll opt for the first one today. Nelson's tactics are too predictable. We spend all game defending (leading to mistakes like we saw today) and barely create any chances.

But I'll take the point. We're pretty much just grinding out results until Bradley comes back.

[Couchy81]

I'll take it. 2 goals with 10 men while away, and coming from behind both times.

[Canary10]

Yet we keep getting points.

[notthesun]

Thoughts:

- Bekker regressed after a positive performance against New York
- Warner was ok
- Hagglund was great. Finally we get a draft right
- Rey and Bloom were both bad today, constantly leaving their side open
- It wasn't a penalty, pretty awful decision. That being said, what bothers me is that Henry made a clumsy challenge. Again, it shouldn't have been called, but regardless of the penalties he concedes it's the fact that he often makes clumsy challenges in dangerous situations that bothers me. He seems to panic when he has to make an important challenge. It's worrying.
- I feel like Nelsen cost us points today. He inexplicably waited to change the two most glaring problems from the first half (Bekker and Bloom/Rey not defending their side) and it directly led to us conceding. If you see problems, fix them. Don't just hope they'll go away. No idea what he was thinking.

[AlanO]

Warner looked pretty good. Hagglund and Lovitz were very good draft picks, both will be quality MLS calibre players.

Bekker and Rey.. getting subbed out in the 53rd minute has to be a sign that you're about to be cut.

[reggie]

take the point and run...this is the mls.

[Alonso]

doneil must have a record for pk s given up in this many minutes this season

My memory seems to be claiming Marvell Wynne would have given him a run for that title....



I think it's aTFC curse more than anything.
