OK Priso, hotdogging in the middle of the field for no good reason, and then only jogging back slowly after coughing up the ball...

Auro....where quick ball movement dies.
Yeah, at half I would move Delgado back to the middle and bring Priso off for Gallardo.
Not sure Laryea needed to press there. Left the right side wide open.
Priso's workrate has been kinda shit so far.
Edit: although on the replay that was deliberate, hitting the player's sliding arm. That was clever and sneaky.
Bradley looks really good and fully recovered from his injuries
And this is a CONCACAAF referee ...
Great play by Omar, dangerous but great play.
Yeah, they're trying to use Bradley and him as co-trailers, one on each side at the bottom of a triangle to turn the ball inside. But he's not seeing the ball at all, and has been late when there have been chances there, with Okello and Shaffelburg 10 yards faster than him. So they seem to be trying to use him two-way as well, but it's not working so far.
Only 45 minutes so I won't be too harsh on him, but Priso wouldn't be the first 18 year old to believe the hype around him and stop working hard. Hopefully he is just learning the system and a touch behind so far.
Not looking good .
Didn't fee like 70/30 possession for Leon
They are playing smarter now, east to west. 1st Game at altitude, tire us out, but I am very happy with the 1st half result.
Vastly better than I expected and even than I dared to hope. Lots of bright lights.
Could still get something out of this.
Okay, bets in. Pozuelo is absent because
a) Covid risk.
b) Kidnapping risk
c) demoralizing loss due to 60th minute altitude burnout risk....
d) minor injury.
Hey I’ll take it. Honestly to play a team in mid season with 3 youth players and without your star... can’t complain.
I’d go to the subs bench early. These guys will gas and we might as well rotate a bit
Really impressed with Okello so far. Shaff looking more like his 2019 self that showed potential.
This game has way exceeded my expectations.
Jozy should have buried that Shaff cross in the first 25 seconds though.
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
This game has exceeded my very very low expectations
I will echo everyone else in saying I am very pleasantly surprised so far. TFC right now is not 1 brilliant strike away from being a good Mexican team. Try not to let it get out of hand and if possible sneak an away goal. Maybe you get Pozuelo, Osorio, Mavinga, (and dare we dream Akinola) back and we can shock these guys with some rotation with quality.
Imagine if Jozy's header had some power 25 seconds into the game? Or if Okello could have gotten his leg up for a volley? Panic stations if so for Leon. Keep up the work rate and be smart.
Wow Shaff with a tiny bit better ball control there could have had a goal as well.
Why was Okello subbed. I thought he was playing really well
Woohoo stop the counting start the car!!!!!!
I'll take that. Great press
