Rey looks good
So far it's his best match of the year.
Montreal posting Di Vaio and McInerney very high when we have the ball at the back, ahead of both our CMs. I'd like to see how Bekker and Nelsen adjust to this. There is space to exploit if we pass it past them and keep the ball central.
The Montreal midfield is making Hall look good.
Toronto looking good in the first 15 min.... having a good part of the run of play

I read that he's going to Europe and they wanted to get something for him before it happened rather than just let him go.
Basically $$$ issue and player ambition issue....
Anyone get a good look on a replay at the Montreal hand ball in the box? On a quick look, could easily have been called - his hand was up and it deflected the ball over the net.
Looked like a clear foul on Defoe at the edge of the box
I wouldn't complain considering how many we got away with in the 1st leg.
Moore is linking with Defoe quite well so far.
edit: Clear foul on Defoe from Camara, not sure why Gantar didn't call that
If any of our 4 midfielders could pass the ball....
Let it be known we have 60% possession so far.
Team shape is terrible. you can't line four guys flat across the field and expect to create many easy passes.
Yeah we're controlling the run of play for the first time this year...
EDIT: So far any way....
Team shape is weak but the movement is good. And it was encouraging to see us positionally set up on that corner without players having to bicker to each other about who was covering who, as in previous years. At least these guys seem to be being drilled in the essentials.
Stade Suputo slowly filling up and getting louder....
Midfield could use an Osorio in the 2nd half. Take one of the CMs off.
Rey has got to be the greatest mutterer ever when a call goes against him
Protect the ball Bekker ffs
Having a hard time telling which one is the last place team.
so sloppy as a team.
Nice dive Bernardello. Gantar calls it when he's looking the opposite direction
Gantar is oblivious as usual.
Bekker is losing his shine. Kid waits for the ball to come to him rather than go for the ball. Likes taking set pieces and shooting but doesn't like dribbling around opponents.
Well I guess we can call it even now?
bekker being lazy again. clear the fucking ball
Gantar always seems to be the difference maker in these games...sigh. Just glad he gave us the benefit of the doubt there.
