    I...I just can't with Nelson. I know people on here say he's doing good stuff but the guy is a black hole when it comes to passing the damn ball.

    Very dynamic but not a smart player yet. Still young, though.

    Struber is likely our next coach. He is bald and has coached the Red Bulls.

    Priso comes in and immediately fights harder for a ball than any player on our team this game.

    He definitely needs minutes over Nelson and Kerr in the midfield.

    I'd like to see a midfield duo of Priso & Osorio & see what happens ...

    Priso & Bradley are playing as dual DM's right now.

    Our midfield just can't play through this pressure, they squeeze us every time and we can't unlock anything to get through it.

    We had a handful of chances. If we don't score any of those, we can't win or tie.


    But same old same old, kids, mistakes, switching off etc.


    Reinforecements soon, please.

    We're lost without Oso connecting the front and back.

    We aren't very good and the kids were always gonna get destroyed by that Red Bull press.

    Pretty much - that was supposed to be Okello & Priso's role this year if Oso went down.

    Some of these kids are really not taking their opportunities. Don't know if it's bad coaching or what but very very dissappointing.

    I think a lot of that disappointment comes from a lot of overhype by fan blogs like WTR who believe every decent player for TFC II is a Real Madrid level talent.

    what we're seeing here is why teams don't bed in 5/6 young players at the same time.

    they need experience players around them to guide them.

    i reckon only 4/5 of the starters today will start most the 2nd half.

    Could be the case. The amount of minutes some of our players are getting would be a dream come true for some players in Europe who are awaiting their chance. Need to show something.

    Frustratingly you see the talent but when you're the direct result of 10 goals against this season (or so it feels like) it gets very hard to defend him

    He reminds me a bit of early years Osorio where there's clearly a lot of technical ability but the decision making and packaging it all together isn't quite there yet. As frustrating as he can be at times, I can see why people rate him and think he can become a force in MLS in a few years time.

    Missed the game. Usually I watch the replay game then read the comment section here but decided to read here first. Looks like I can save some time and not watch at all?

    It was pretty rough.

    We had four or five chances all game, lots of poor passing, kids being muscled off the ball. Luquinhas, Amaya and Morgan pretty much ran over Kerr and Thompson, Nelson had his usual panoply of misses and awful decisions. We played a diamond but Poz spent so much time in our end it looked like double pivot.

    You know this, I know this, so why did The coach and GM get rid of basically 75 percent of the roster at the beginning of the year? Yes I know this team was more then awful last year, but could they not of kept 2or 3 guys around like Auro and Delgado ?
