That should be looked at.
Last man!?
Clear red! He was past him
Clear red.
Fuck you Penso you better make up for that.
I don't blame Penso for that, I blame VAR for not even looking at it.
Very small sample size, but Kaye looks calm and composed as a CB.
This formation has Montreal somewhat confused I think
And our players too, judging by the amount of missed passes and hand waiving in the attacking third.
I agree. To me seems like him playing back, removes the pressure he might feel to make good attacking passes which lef to giveaways. Here he can focus on defense and make more simple passes, which is what he's been better at this seqson
He has the attributes to be a decent CB in MLS. Is an average runner, is tall and can make the passes a defender needs to in order to start an attack. Gotta see how he defends set pieces and his man marking when under fire though.
Chris Penso is ridiculous.
Handing out yellow cards like they are candy at Halloween.
Perhaps Montreal isn't taking it seriously because of TFC's weak lineup, but they really don't look very good so far.
Desperation does positive things to work rate. They're trying tonight, no doubt.
If had actually called the last five fouls before hand maybe guys wouldn’t have taken so many liberties.
Honestly super happy about how we have played.
I sorta dig this funky, super-mobile defense.
Same. Mabika is so long and rangy, Richie obviously has incredible pace and MAK looks so much better when not under pressure.
Montreal not all that good either.
Would be nice if Freda would occasionally make the obvious choice rather than the hard one.
I wonder if we could've turned Okello into something like what Mabika is
I appreciate JMR is still only 18 but they have to instil some more fight in this kid. Otherwise he’s going to be another one of these academy players in who might have great skills but get bullied right out of the pro game because they don’t understand the level of competitiveness.
I personally would move JMR inside, sub Kosi out and put Kerr on the wing. I will forever maintain that JMR is a central midfielder.
I don't think it's just fight missing with JMR. He's been quite poor tonight.
I don't think he is as athletic as he has been advertised to be. He is a smart and technical player.
Finally saw it, on the screen, positionally, the 5-2-3. Franklin had a solid half.
As a half of football that was absolutely awful, two bald men fighting over a comb, felt like a cpl game. For us? With everything happening I'll take it I suppose. At least we look committed
Well... I think that was pretty positive, other than the thre forwards still being largely out of sync. Good work rates, mobile back three covers a ton of space
Dare I say Bob may have found us a second look?
Broadcast feels like mashup of Rogers local channel commentators and CFL camera crew.
The only change I might consider so far.
