    Now there is a name I haven’t heard in a while. Great MLS 1.0 striker. If we could find someone in that mould we’d be getting somewhere.

    Wasn’t as effective in his later years but when he started at FCD, man that guy could do everything.

    Bradley is definitely the odds on favorite in my mind to be managing here next year.

    Why? Why would they hire a guy who doesn’t even have his badges?

    dude, they make lazy, arrogant decisions but they’re not going to hand the club to an inexperienced coach. I just can’t see them being that dumb. Maybe I’m being naive but the bigger worry is they’re wedded to an outdated MLS 1.0 mindset and we’ll get John Harkes or Ben Olsen or some other guaranteed loser in tactical terms.

    I'm not too excited about it, but he probably means Bob Bradley.

    I’m not overly caught up on the whole licensing aspect of coaching, particularly for someone who has been around as long as Bob. I’ve certainly seen professional accreditation as being no guarantee of quality in my own line of work.

    I thought his work in LA has been okay, but not spectacular. They’ve played to their talent level generally, although they’ve flopped in the playoffs a few times. He’s an upgrade from Armas or any of the names we were linked with last off season. But… I don’t see how he makes us all that better than Perez.

    Leaving that aside, I just see this as a distraction to fans in light of horrifically bad performance. The press should be writing Manning and Curtis’s eulogy right now, instead they are staying silent in as cowardly of a manner as possible and spoon feeding the public snippets about Giovinco. Bread and circuses stuff, this is.

    I know nothing about coaching licenses, but Bob Bradley supposedly has the UEFA Pro Licence, is that worth something?

    Again not excited about him. Been watching some of his teams for a long time. Read some things about him. Not sure if he would really give this club what it needs.

    Oh! I somehow read that as Michael. I think someone just before you mentioned Bob as Gm and Michael as coach, so I was seeing that.

    Yeah, Bob Bradley is a real possibility. Not totally sold on him. He seems tactically very sound and an astute talent judge, but he doesn't seem particularly liked by his players and he seems to consider even the best easily replaceable, despite being proven wrong repeatedly over the last two seasons.

    Any one have any idea what formation they are starting with tonight? MLS always says it’s a 4-2-3-1 for TFC, regardless of what they are really playing. It’s strange, seems to be only TFC, I’ve seen lots of other formation for other teams.
    I’m guessing a 4-3-3 🤷🏼

    Looks like 4-1-2-1-2 that morphs into a 3-4-3. So yes, 4-3-3. Although could be 4-2-3-1 with Oso and Shaff either side of Soteldo I suppose. Gameday!

    The pitch looks in rough shape. It’s only going to get worse.

    What was that from Soteldo? Couldn’t be bothered to score on the rebound?

    Lots of great movement, but too frantic and no finish at all

    If Soteldo and Giovinco play together there will be sooooo many death stares at each other and teammates.

    I can’t stand Soteldo. I wouldn’t be bothered if he were no longer here next season

    He is only 5’10” but Lawrence may have a future as a CB

    I’m not terribly impressed when he plays as a LB, so I hope he does too. On the other hand, the more I watch Soteldo, the less I like him.

    Other than Oso missing that shot early on, I think he has looked terrific this entire game. Best player on the pitch.

    If we had a real striker it’d be 3-0 right now!
