Match Day 14 - DCU @ TFC Wednesday June 13 8 pm Lets Turn It On

[OgtheDim]

Just out of curiosity, where is Inebriatti?

There is a banner out saying "Football without Ultras is nothing".


I'm seething at that about as much as the game.

Déjà vu back to our glory days. Should have been 5-0 based on that performance.

[NK Toronto]

I must have missed the announcement that tonight was "Retro Night" at BMO Field...... a return to the Aaron Winter era.

[PizzaEatingYeti]

Vanney being punished for starting his non-professional nephew Zavaleta.

Even when TFC were terrible they didn't play this bad at home, maybe we just suck again.

I was thinking the same.

[InDa_110]

Is this because of Columbus and the "flare fight"? No inebriatti?

[SKB]

There is something wrong in the dressing room. With this team. Giovinco’s goal scoring is dropping off dramatically. This started last year, he kept his totals up via free kicks, but his goals from open play are almost non existent. He wanted to renegotiate his contract this year for a LT contract but TFC has passed. He is playing like he does not care anymore.

[Oldtimer]

This is 2012 bad. Never expected that against the bottom feeder of the East.

[SKB]

Our back four looks just terrible, like a second grade unit. I know we have had injuries but the look so slow and out of position. Bradley looks like he has lost his confidence and lost a few steps. Is he injured? Or has just aged quicker than expected. When the US team missed the WC a lot of blame went to Bradley, is there some validity to that now?

[jloome]

You know, we've never been the fastest team out there and it's starting to feel like 1 year older and many injuries later we've finally reached our tipping point in that department. We simply cannot press anybody with effectiveness in midfield or recover like we used to. The other team passes around midfiled with abandon and nobody makes the hard run back to cover off attacking threats. All of the goals were atrocious, there wasn't anything particularly special from DCU.

The defending from the fullback positions has been putrid. Bradley looks like a regular midfielder rather than super human. Giovinco can't score from open play to save his life.

All year. Bradley and Giovinco look like they've regressed a step, Auro isn't a good enough defender to start despite his obviously good wing play, Van Der Weil doesn't move well on the left. Zavaleta clearly is not ready to start at this level, making slow decisions and covering ground poorly.

Osorio, Bono and Telfer have been our only consistent performers.

We should make the playoffs easily with this lineup but I'm starting to worry, even with 2/3 of the season to go.

[ag futbol]

We fans and supporters need to realize injuries arent why we are performing poorly, and the team wants us to accept status quo, i think we should show our displeasure at the next game and take a stand

I think this a curious statement. The team just came off a championship season and went out and spent money on several new signings and maintains the highest payroll in the league.

We're not failing because we're standing still, we're failing because the moves we made have not made the best use of our money, guys on our existing payroll have generally trended downwards, and injuries have reeked havoc with the roster. The third one is a to a certain degree chance, although we've generally been willing to take a chance on guys with some red flags on the grounds it wasn't going to continue to flair up and be a problem.

In summary, we've been trying but this plan appears to be going down in flames and it's going to be back to the drawing board pretty soon.

[SKB]

We cannot continue this way, we cannot wait for people to get healthy. Changes need to be made.

[benito]

Just out of curiosity, where is Inebriatti?

they posted a message on Facebook.

Inebriatti was sanctioned, once again, due to our pro-Seba banner (which was not cleared with the club prior to it's display) and our use of flags during match play last home match. We felt that after both sets of sanctions that we have endured affably this season this new punishment is unnecessary and unjust.

No VAR review on that Telfer penalty, all righty, sure

Agree but back to the drawing board doesn't mean cleaning house.

[jloome]

Why don't we just play the fucking 3-5-2 all the time? It's clearly our best formation.

Good to see the team show up tonight, albeit only for the second half.

[ag futbol]

Well agreed, not at that point yet.

[OgtheDim]

Seba not burying that chance used to be surprising.

[Tdot_LFC]

Yes! Excellent movement

[OgtheDim]

Uh..OK

We seem to have decided to play with pace again.

[wopchop]

FINALLY. Some fucking heart!

[Hamilton_Red]

Wow what a difference Morrow makes! We have really missed him.

[jloome]

We need to pick it up.

[Tdot_LFC]

Still time to go for the winner!

[Hamilton_Red]

Vanney...coach of the year. Blames the wind for the first half and a differnt team comes out.

[tfcfans]

I think that sums up the season.....

[ag futbol]

For fuck sakes. I don’t know what happened there but 6 guys somehow got outfoxed by 2

[OgtheDim]

defence...what defence?

I think that's about the 4th goal against this season where we just let guys walk through everybody.

[tfcfans]

Crazy.....just a ridiculous game.....

[urdiub]

Just end me.

Edit: Hagglund my saviour.

[notthesun]

Dude fuck the analysis. This game is just dumb.
