I feel like this system is designed to produce a million half chances, but rarely a direct shot on net.

we need to give the club time, how much time; i dont know, but time fixes all
OgtheDim is right, I don't believe it.
Shades of last season that.
Fuck this shit, it’s over, sub in the kids
Holy smokes, is this an all-time bed-shitting? Someone wake Bob up.
Why is McNaughton higher than the center half on the ball? Jesus Christ that's bad positioning.
We are just getting shredded. Our midfield is non existent and Rosted/MacNaughton might as well just leave the field.
Richie defensively is not interested but why he has been the last guy 3 times now... that's an issue.
I wonder are the Italians not fit and out squad depth is just so bad that we had no choice but to trot them out anyway? This is far beyond any reasonable expectation of how bad we could be
For those who complained about Bradley and believed that an Oso/Kaye tandem were our future today should prove that 1 Bradley works harder then both our Canadians. Both our ball watching, multiple giveaways and chasing Union players towards our own goal. Never a good sign if you ask me.
If I am the manager I am subbing off MacNaughton for O'Neill, Alonso for Oso or Kaye and Kerr for Insigne.
Misery has found TFC again. I blame the rain, the kit, BB…
Let’s assume most people care about a hockey result more than this nonsense at this point — I’m more upset that we waste one of our precious TSN games on this garbage instead of it being on Apple TV and the joy that whole process brings for me to get the game on my TV. Why anyone would keep watching TFC tonight is beyond me. I actually bet on us to lose 3-0 or 3-1 — clearly I underestimated our level of ineptitude tonight.
kaye with another straight turnover pass...osorio is either clueless on proper defending or just doesnt apply it...you cant have both insigne and bernardeschi at forward in a 442...gotta have insigne in midfleld...got frustrated and started dropping back himself...this is when we realize how much bradley the best performer of the team is missed
Hey we out possess them......
**********
McNaughton regressed tonight & I think it might be because there is not decent DM in front of him.
The folks here desperately looking for an individual to blame on the pitch. It's clear to me that the issue is the complete lack of preparation. It's a Bob thing, we aren't ready for these games.
All I know is we've had mostly the same players (minus Servania) in the midfield and at forward for nearly year now, and they cannot move the ball cleanly and fluently.
We never switch play quickly. It's all just one touch advance the ball, one touich advance the ball.
I see LA play this system and they have players working at a higher rate, passing accurately and it works for them. There are still moments, when the ball is stuck to one side or the other, when it looks precarious. But it's not that the system can't work.
It just doesn't fit our players. And I don't know if that's going to change at this point.
There was a story yesterday with Tata Martino saying he fancied coaching in MLS again. Lifetime winning percentage in the top 20 all -time.
We're just so slow and uninterested defensively.
On most of the pitch, we're static, telegraphing everything. When the ball is delivered, the only two TFC players moving are the man on the ball and the guy he's passing to, so everything is easy for Philly to defend.
Nobody's holding up the ball, forcing Philly to foul. We just dump the ball as soon as we're under pressure because that's basically how this tactic is designed, for quick, short passes.
But it doesn't work unless the guys doing it are working at a high rate all the time, and we don't seem able to do this.
I'm not sold on Tata but at this point I would take him. I'd even take Berhalter.
Or Petke.
Toronto sucks at sports……a solid day all around…..
There was a 3 minute stretch there before the flood came where we got the ball out wide to Richie & suddenly had space. (this is why I don't think this game is a mark of how things will always go)Originally Posted by jloome
The centrebacks seemed not to recover their composure after the double own goal. Really chaotic. And yeah, there’s no one playing reliably in front of them.
Insigne is not a striker of any kind and not surprising under the circumstances that he’s dropping deep into the midfield to attempt to be of help.
Not sure who you put on in midfield. Coelho hasn’t looked comfortable when being pressed in any game he’s played. Though I like him with MB as a steady outlet who can play the ball forward reliably.
o'neill and translator in for macnaughton bernardeschi
Perruzza goal incoming, surely.
Berhalter would be a blessing from soccer Jesus at this point. If Bradley goes, Manning goes though. Curtis was Bill's meat shield. This is his last call.
kaye makes a five meter pass straight to the opponents feet
Rush forward
Stop turn
Play ball back to covered defender
JMR is being Nelson tonight
kaye makes another 2 turnovers in 30 seconds
Almost! Almost.
I hate this though. Manning will want to make Richie our third DP because he is Canadian. We already overpaid for Kaye because of his birth certificate. Selling tickets should not come before winning games.
