    Cue internet meltdown over TAM wide attackers vs. 2nd striker/DeLeoan

    Shaff not in the lineup because he is starting in Richmond with TFCII - as is Akinola.

    ******

    I'm OK with this lineup. We've had dribs & drabs from Benezet & Gallardo - until they show they are saviours, lets not deify them quite yet.

    Refusing to start either new TAM guy has to be a fuck you to Ali Curtis from Vanney. This actually pisses me off. Whine and whine and whine and finally get what you want and never use it. Childish. I have no sympathy for Vanney's shitty display prior to either players signing.

    Midfield & attack is narrow & lacks speed. Mullins & DeLeon will be energetic. Only guy on the pitch who will slow down the play is Auro.

    Our best defence though. Note who didn't make the trip.

    FWIW, Hamilton not even on the bench for them.

    Terry Dunfield: The expectation for this team is to make the playoffs.

    In other words... don't be one of the worst teams in the league. What a low freaking bar.

    This is a bitter pill to have to swallow having waited for wingers for an extended period of time. We now sign said wingers and are in need of reinforcements to make a playoff push.

    The reinforcements are either not yet ready to play or aren’t good enough (what other explanation is there?). Meanwhile, other teams we are chasing for points have signed players and they are already on the field making an impact.

    The list of excuses from management as to why things aren’t quite yet working yet is becoming increasingly long.

    Guys, FFS, if Benezet and Gallardo aren't starting there has to be a reason. Maybe slightly injured. Maybe they haven't fully learned the system yet. Plus how do you take Endoh out right now? He's earned his starts.

    Vanney has made some mistakes this season, yes, but this is not some conspiracy, some fuck you to management. It's obviously for a football-related reason.

    Let's stop the nonsense please.

    EDIT:

    I see Endoh isn't starting tonight, but the point is, him and Shaffs have earned their places too, so the new guys can't just walk into the team. It will take a bit of time to get everyone into their roles.

    It’s hardly conspiracy nonsense. It’s a direct comparison of where other teams are with their summer signings vs. TFC.

    Unfortunately this matters.

    Gallardo played excellent against Ottawa , yes inferior but his speed and blistering crosses were excellent , enough for Vanney to not start him . Vanney couldn’t create a momentum if he was the drummer in the New Orleans parade .....it’s like he wants to over think and analyze every schematic . When do we sign the robots . Yes let’s keep Shuffling on the bench because he’s young and this’ll be another prospect in Vanneys history that’ll be hard pressed to get his wings . Hopefully he comes in later when they’re tired and not at the 85th minute . (Instead of the usual defender)

    But Vanney is in on the transfer decisions. Curtis doesn't sign Benezet or Gaillardo without Vanney's okay. So if they don't work out that's as much on Vanney as anyone else.

    So them being bad signings is certainly possible, and that's something worth talking about. But please none of this 'Vanney is sticking it to management by purposely not playing the new guys as a form of protest.' Because that is nonsense.

    Not suggesting any of that isn’t true. No idea what Vanney’s motivation is on the lineups but I’d think it would simply be winning every game (even if we don’t agree how he’s trying to do it).

    Watching this game so far, I think we are clearly the better team (even without our wingers) and should be able to win.

    Only question is will these guys show any desire to get 3 points? Pretty casual through the first 30 minutes.

    Right. But these are the real questions. We shouldn't be distracted by red herrings.

    As others have mentioned, Vanney seems to like starting guys who can play a strong possession game, and keep the fast guys on the bench for later in the game once things start to open up. Is this a good strategy? Maybe sometimes, other times maybe not. That's a good discussion to be had (this game is a perfect example of that so far – the starting lineup is extremely slow, we have over 60% possession and only 1 shot on goal, from a free-kick no less).

    So this may seem weird or wrong to us, but remember they've scouted Columbus ... maybe they feel this is the best strategy.

    I've learned my lesson. This is why I don't say negative stuff about individual players during the game.
