I think we need to take a special look in taking a look at all values and contributions of players, by now we should have a clearer idea of who needs to take a cut or leave or who stays
The commentary by Terry Dunfield is that their legs were gone. If that’s the case, where was the third sub and 2hy leave walking Vasquez on post 3-1? Despite Bradley’s horror show, those decisions are on Vanney.
these dropped points are all on vanney
If those lost points are on Vanney is it time we think about looking for a new coach
did you not see that delgado was responsible for the third goal for sure
and did not help at all on the second goal
i have noticed this in other games delgado costs us goals when he comes in the game late
is there a stat of plus minus goals when marky comes in games late
i know its gotta be bad
So with only the players currently available, how should we be lining up at the back then?
i don’t think that is correct. It was 1 - 0 when Ricketts came on and he hustled on defence. Vanney needed to bring Hasler on for Vasquez at 3-1. Vasquez was hurt or gassed and not contributing. This is on Vanney, Bradley and Victor. Aand I support them all, but we need to be honest.

Because we had no more subs to make.
Osorio goes out injured at a really bad time. None of the midfield guys on the bench can go 70 minutes. Neither can Hagglund. So Vanney really only has a bunch of kids or Ricketts he can put in. He puts in Ricketts. After that, we were destined to have VV, Seba & Ricketts up top towards the end of the game. Why? Because its either Delgado or Hasler coming in the midfield if we have a lead & its ALWAYS going to be Hagglund coming in around 60-70 minutes. With those 3 up top, our midfield was going to have serious issues handling them. And you could see them make line breaking pass after pass through VV & Ricketts.
Berhalter used his team pretty much perfectly after that - add in Bradley brain cramps & I fail to see where exactly Vanney could have done anything else.
We got beat by bad play by our captain & injuries.

do worry all these injured guys will be fresh in july
i think realistically speaking 6th place is the best we can hope for this year.
if we get in at 6th place, we have showed we can kick ass in away games
we were up 3-0. if we had a healthy mavinga, and moor and zavaletta this would not have happened
then say we win the one game playoff we are the same as everybody else, no one has any advantage over us at that point

Just to add to the general moroseness
https://www.prosoccerusa.com/mls/col...-toronto-game/
i just watched the highlights, bradley responsible for all 3 goals
Why did the last 25 minutes of tonight's game feel as if we were being returned to an island that we had escaped from in 2016?
Couldn’t watch tonight and I last checked the box on this crap when it was 3-1 in the 80th minute. WTF
A 5 million player that did nothing except ship 3 idiot goals. Vanney is not untouchable give any mls coach the tfc budget and they would win 1 mls cup in 3 years as the top spender.
I think that was probably the worst game Bradley has played since he came to Toronto. I'm wondering if age is catching up to him now. I can't see how Vanney can keep using him in the CB role after this if the other CBs are now close to match fit.
Chapman was crap and why oh why was Hagglund in the midfield and Bradley still at the back after he came on??? Tough two points to lose, but I still think we end the season with 54 points enough for 5th or 6th. The boys did look tired. Hernandez played a good game and until the other backs are ready he, Hagland and Vandaviel should be the back 3. We need full points in next two games.
It's really unfair to have Bradley as scapegoat here.
After Columbus made tactical changes at 0-3, the game completely changed and it was clear it was just a matter of time until they score. They did, but Vanney still didn't adjust because he hoped we'll somehow hang on. But the pressure was so overwhelming that everyone was making mistakes, it just happened that Bradley was the last one and most visible. Watch carefully their last two goals, it's a comedy of errors.
The lack of tactical response from Vanney lost us two points tonight, not Bradley.
we had a dream season last year ..we had a dream season last year ...we had a dream season last year... we had a dream season last year.i feel better now
Couldn’t agree more, not a great game today for Bradley. Gave it away for the first. Too casual in the box for the second. And too careless for the penalty.
I just finished watching the game on PVR and I don't agree with not calling out Bradley's play. He was generally not that good tonight and he was involved in all three Columbus goals. He went up against Zardes on the header from the corner and was beat. He made a high risk move on the Crognale goal, and got burned. And then he gave away the penalty at the end. Yes, it was Delgado's giveaway that caused the goal, but Delgado wasn't at fault in all three of the goals. it was painful to watch. I would agree that Vanney can't seem to get it through his head that Bradley is a terrible fullback, but Vanney isn't on the field making all those mistakes. Let's not pretend that Bradley wasn't brutal tonight, and has been brutal for the last few weeks.
He shouldn’t have been playing the position, but he was still shockingly inept.
