    So clearly not our first-choice squad, but not quite TFC2.

    Let's go TFC 1.5!!!

    you obviously have to wait until lineups are announced before you place your bet

    also, to Portland Timbers fans
    sorry but this is a fu game by TFC to MLS by scheduling this game on this day

    if you win it doesn't prove anything, you beat us without 6 starters
    if you lose you guys aren't very good
    They wouldn't have known the lineup 3 days ago. Obviously dealing with some borderline injury issues, so they would have made a late decision who to take on the charter. They might even have a couple of extra players along, and have decided about the full 18 even later.

    Plus TFC's only advantage tonight is surprise. I couldn't care less about the impact on betting. And many of the lineup changes were clear in advance.

    The team looks better tonight than in many other games with a more normal lineup. Best chances on goal; good workrate & pressure all over the park. Still unlikely to get a win out of this; Portland is bound to score at some point. But so far so good.

    Bakero is really struggling. The timing and place of his runs is totally off. And his passes. Everyone else doing ok. EDIT: except Marky

    Boyyyy oh boy did Delgado get away with that one. That's his third counter-attack stopping tackle and all three were on Chara... he should probably be off.

    Definitely agree with Caldwell, Delgado needs to be off at half because he's guaranteed to get a yellow for any challenge because he should've gotten one there. But who comes on? No midfield on the bench

    Bring on Zavs and go with the horrid Hagglund - Zavs combo with Bradley moving to midfield? Or Morgan for a 442?

    Often I'm a Delgado defender, but take him off now.

    Vanney you have a discipline problem, not for the first time in the last few weeks.

    Janson's not playing like a guy worthy of DP status

    He's causing more harm than helping. Plus, he looks frustrated. Put his arms up at Telfer for that shot, but it only went a half-foot wide, and if he'd been going to the back post he would've had a tap in.

    You move over to four at the back and shift Chapman. Or leave it five, bring Morgan on and shift morrow and then Chapman. There are options.

    He's TAM not DP. And I think he's looking pretty good; we don't have much in the way of attacking support right now.

    He's not a DP, is he? He's on loan to buy, but I doubt he'd be a DP.

    His movement is good. I actually rather like him so far.

    i sort of feel bad for him, but he looks totally lost from a positional perspective.

    Chapman has to stop playing it so damn safe. Take on the man on occasion, take some risks.

    He’s just cycling the ball backwards every time.

    If we do buy him he'd be a DP due to the 3.7 million transfer fee

    Not a bad first half considering the circumstances. Obviously lacking some game breakers up top so getting a goal is looking like a real challenge.

    Fraser looking real smooth in the middle.

    He's DP if we pick up the buy option. Every game he plays is an audition to unseat Jozy or Seba in my mind.

    Considering the lineup and the location (and timing) of this game, that was about as good a half as we could have hoped for....and yes, Delgado needs to be taken off now....

    Great half all things considered. Very impressive.

    I like him too. Good work rate, drops back to pick up the ball in midfield, etc.

    Not having Osorio or Vasquez or Bradley in the midfield and not even morrow attacking hurts. Fraser is great but he’s the first pass, it’s the second pass to the danger areas that’s missing

    It’s a posted price on a lark. No way they are getting 3+ million.

    It's a contractual option. If they don't get 3.7m USD we don't get Janson.

    Chapman doing the old Osorio of passing back each time. Kid needs a confidence boost. Bakero and Janson have been moving well. Pretty composed performance overall.

    Marky has a horseshoe up his ass. We should be down to 10.

    I think the guys need to change up their boots. So many guy losing footing, or not catching up to errant passes/deflections.

    Agreed that Delgado should be taken off. That was one of the few times a ref break given in TFC’s favour. Impressed how TFC has held up, but odds are Portland will win.

    It’s a ceiling price. 3.7 million we guarantee we get Janson. We don’t pick up the option we can still negotiate for less. Happens all the time.
