    I'll take Mavinga over Ciman any day.

    I would have accepted that better yesterday if we had guys like Gallardo, Schaffelburg, Fraser, etc. starting and fighting it out.

    The roster we had out there shouldn't be applauding good efforts and steps in the right direction at this point of the season.

    Agreed, although not so much a yesterday thing in isolation as something i’ve noticed throughout the season.

    True. I have grown tired of hearing Vanney and Bradley repeat how we did all the right things in losses/draws and how we were the better team and would have won if only ......blah, blah, excuse, blah.

    Bingo. Very smart actually. That’s in the back of the net if he doesn’t. With penalties looming in under 10 minutes, that’s what I was thinking he should do when Lappalainen burned the high line (wasn’t Mavinga’s man btw).

    On the penalties, Jozy’s Penalty was stupid. If your going to go down middle (smart btw), you don’t need to kill it. Just get a little air underneath and your good. If he stands there, he would save it anyways. Mullins pk was just poor. If we go to penalties in the playoffs, I’d like to see this order:

    1) Poz
    2) Jozy
    3) Endoh
    4) Benezet/gallardo(whoever is on)
    5) Mavinga

    I’d probably go Morrow after that. I don’t want to see Bradley, Osorio, or Delgado take a penalty for the rest their careers.

    The players were gassed by the end. Why not DeLeon and then Gallardo instead of auro and Mullins? As much as TFC had significant chances they missed, Vanney lost this game
    Auro was looked instantly bad.
    He looked less fresh than layrea coming off

    We had no impact subs, infact we had negative impact subs

    Oh well, can't win it every year. We need to address the PK situation.

    On the bright side, that was the pinnacle of Montreal's season and we are going to the playoffs.

    Why Morrow? I don't have anything against him generally, but he did the exact same kind of PK in MLS Cup 2016, as Jozy did last night.

    I am assuming since our players never practice penalties that our keepers don't practice them either. That lining up and firing on the fly pre-match isn't the same as learning to read a players body on the PK lead up and I am unsure that's something we bother with. Doesn't look like it.

    Vanney said last night we haven't stop a single PK in PK shootout and that this needed to be worked on.

    I get the feeling its being added to the roster of regular things to work on next season.


    *******

    Just an FYI:

    Playoffs are not straight to PK's - the regular 2 x 15 minutes and then PK.

    More of a he’s ahead of Bradley, Osorio, Delgado, then he’s good. Those 3 have proved more than once that they can’t take penalties.

    So it only took losing 3 cups in penalties to figure that out. Great.

    i agree..he looks slow and lazy lately.he has like 1 goal in his 8 or 9 games and he is trying to kill the ball.boy do we ever need a second scorer.he cant do it by himself.

    That's the problem with the single striker in a capped league. Don't want to waste too much on a back up who may never play.

    According to the MLS site, the league’s penalty success rate is around 76-79%. In all competitions, does anyone know TFC’s cumulative penalty success rate?

    Found it. In MLS regular season (so it excludes playoffs/shootouts) we have a 69.1% success rate. All competitions we are 71.5% (57/80).

    I am not being critical - you asked for the source that they did not practice much and I gave it. Interesting though that England practiced them with innovative techniques - like incredible noise turned off for silence just before the kick, at the end of training when players were mentally tired, etc - maybe TFC needs to do that.

    5/6 MLS cup; 3/5 CCL; 1/4 CC - from memory.

    Not sure about regular season. Gio was perfect until Red Bull out guessed him.

    Thinking about it more, given VAR is increasing the number of penalties, it does need to be worked on.

    I think we've all been blinded by THAT open play Delgado miss against Chivas since the only penalty I remember him ever taking was the one he scored in a shootout against - wait for it - Chivas

    It wasn't a challenge, I was just curious. When I took OSA coaches training there was zero on penalties. I was wondering how much the pros do it in general? I know that David Beckham was renowned for spending hours practicing them and it was something unusual that he did so.

    I suggest reading "Pep Confidential" by Marti Perarnau, a journalist who was given pretty well unhampered access when he was at Bayern Munich. You'd see that one of the most brilliant football minds this generation has his players play "his" style, and Pep is very rigid about it. He's won everywhere he goes using his style, "smothering" the player's natural way of playing (it was very hard for German players to play his style, which is not at all typical of the Bundesliga). You'd get a better idea of what Vanney is trying to do. Vanney is no Pep, but he's a student of Pep and others who is trying to learn the lessons.

    As far as the players passing back this game... that was mostly Morgan, who as I pointed out Vanney substituted early, and a lot of people called Vanney out for making that substitution because they didn't see what was going on, but Vanney did. That's why there was much less back-passing and much more attacking play in the second half of the match. Vanney has been pushing a fast attacking style this season instead of the more methodical method that took advantage of having a Giovinco, and when the players do it, it unbalances the other team (like it did LAFC, TFC is really the only team that took it to them this season).

    MLS Cup was 4/6. Bradley and Morrow missed.
