of us.....
Really enjoyed Cheyrou on the ball out there. Very smooth, composed, never panicked. Seemed to me like the polar opposite of JDG when he was in town - get ball, run around in circles like a headless chicken, pass backwards.
Caldwell can't play the high line anymore.
A team who presses can exploit that (I like Robbo as a coach, but his team doesn't want the ball enough).
NER are going to make his life miserable.
so why play it them, I don't think any of our backline can play the high line, 1st half proved that
Tired of dude in general, seems really petty (dont ask me why, i just get that from the podcasts), definitely feels like TFC did him dirty in some way and hes never ever ever going to forgive or forget it
We won't play highline and NER will exploit Caldwell with their press and weaving central focused passing.
Actually, I think Perquis and Morrow can play highline. Not sure Hagglund can. Maybe Zaveletta or Simonin.
we did 1st half, that's how they scored their goal
He seems to focus on how teams treat local coaches and run their academies. Thinks the world of VCWC and their set up. Went absolutely ballistic over the hiring of Nelsen without badges.
Why he wasn't complaining about Robbo's tactics today I do not know.

Man, what a great game tonight. To be honest, I came into it a bit apprehensive. There was no doubt in my mind that we were by far the superior team on paper, but Vancouver has typically played very well at BC Place (they only lost three matches at home in 2014) and had a sell-out crowd backing them for their home opener. Vancouver did show quite a lot of energy in the first half and our back line was playing very reactionary, but you could tell when things started to click for TFC after Rivero's goal. A 3-1 result for the first match of a 7-game road stretch is an incredible accomplishment - nevermind the fact it was a come-from-behind win as well. Very happy with the result today.
Three things:
1) Altidore's capabilities really surprised me. Was good to see him making those attempts and really putting an effort in. 2 goals under his belt in his TFC debut match? Great start to the season!
2) All the new guys who haven't had much experience on turf looked pretty confident playing on the pitch. Cheyrou, Altidore, Giovinco, and Perquis all looked pretty comfortable on the BC Place pitch.
3) Is it just me, or was Vanney make those substitutions at just the right time? I'll never forget previous seasons (and coaches) who just did not time the subs right and we would pay for it in the dying minutes of a few games. Vanney did right by that tonight.

Hopefully it won't be as blatantly obvious against clubs without as much pace as the Whitecaps, but Caldwell was the weak link on our back line today, and he was exploited several times in the first half. I would not be surprised if Hagglund is a regular starter by mid season.
Huh. Minute by minute coverage in the guardian.

how was caldwell our weak link
Disagree,Yeah Caldwell looked bad few times in 1st half,but our weak link in 1st half was our tactic to defend high,and that was main reason why we got exposed so many times,2nd half we dropped back a bit,and that was a difference maker in this game.
Vanney out-coached Robinson today.

By the way, today's result was only the third time TFC has ever won a season opener and had the largest margin of victory of all three.
2015: Vancouver Whitecaps 1 - 3 Toronto FC
2014: Seattle Sounders 1 - 2 Toronto FC
2009: Sporting KC 2 - 3 Toronto FC

And what possibly the fourth or fifth time we've come from behind to win I think.
^this, i love hearing de vos talk about bpl, etc but as soon as he talks tfc or canada in general he gets a hard on for the shitecaps and trashes us to no end
Errr... he did reasonably well in the second half (after looking pretty poor in the 1st) but he sticks out like a sore thumb on this team with our renewed style of play. Doesn't have confidence in his passing - put a few hospital balls into the midfield tonight and took the negative pass a little too willingly. Issues with his speed when playing the high line already covered, so I won't harp on those.
In the end it's one game, but if this is the standard I'd be worried for him.
who looked good in the 1st half.
who gave the ball away for the 1st goal
Wow, tenth-most popular football story in the Guardian on a Saturday? Go figure.
I don't know who looked good, but there was hardly anyone who looked worse than Caldwell during that period. I can't see who it was on the replay who gave the ball away but that's a 40+ yard pass to Rivero, followed by a CB getting turned around and left 10 yards behind the target striker which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.
Probably still bitter about not getting the TFC gm job a few years back.
It was a tense opening 30 minutes but once Vanney made some adjustments in the back TFC took over I was impressed with the play of our 3 dps and Kudos goes to indlay with his goal.
Giovinco gave the ball away in their half and then stood there looking at Montreal player as he played the long ball without challenging. Perquis and Caldwell weren't in line to play offside, they scored.
should you be commentating on a goal u didn't see fully.
Thrilled with the result, and very happy that it was Altidore and Findley with the goals. Two players coming off rough spells in need of a fast start to get that boost in confidence.
THIS.
Also maybe DeVos hate for TFC has to do with him being former Montreal Impact player?
Not only that, but TSN/Bell is main sponsor of Whitecaps so that might play a part why TFC doesn't get much respect from TSN crew. The fact next TFC game is going to be on TSN2 while Whitecap games is going to be on main TSN channel says it all (they both pretty much play at same time next week).
Huh??
great answer pal
And you're chirping those who comment on your posts? Also, good English please speak. Or not write.
Im so confused lol.
Oh I saw it live, I just can't see based on the highlights. I stand by my point. Caldwell is left in the dust either way.
