    Bradley starting attacks from the Food building like he was redoing that old commercial with Bird & Michael Jordan.

    I hope that FCM don't score an early goal. I get the feeling if that happens the team will just... implode due to a fragile mentality.

    Must say, the depth of the team has improved massively.

    Have to say, really glad to have Bradley back.

    Now about scoring a goal…

    Agreed. It’s just hard to see it as such when we don’t score / win.

    Don't love that lineup but also don't hate it.

    Mailula for JMR the obvious sub. Want Insigne and Vazquez to get at least 30 minutes

    No way Bradkey should get 90 min after being out for like 4 months...

    Happy to see Bradley back. A lot of us wanted him to not play every game but if we learned anything it's how poor our depth was and how much we lacked leadership. Here's hoping we can see a positive result tonight!

    Michael Bradley playing the deepest of the midfielders so far.

    Hmm...Prince telling the group "somebody has to back post" - almost like they don't practice corners.

    Back to the Michael Bradley on set pieces days. Surely Petretta, Bernie or Servania can do better

    So Mtl takes a flyer on a random youth player, he comes in and takes a better crack at goal than any TFC striker we’ve seen in 6 months. Long day…

    Imagine having a 20 year old Canadian stirker who can shoot, a 24 year old left midfielder who can play anywhere on the field and a 19 year old stud who's silky smooth. Montreal is really doing something right with their Canadian academy kids.

    Yup...defence still suks

    O'Neill letting a guy get behind him after biting towards him on a free kick?!?!

    Shot taken & you let an opponent get past you to that rebound?!?!?!?

    Positional awareness and responsibility awareness

    Those mistakes are easy to address if

    a) you use film

    b) you actually coach during training

    No worries, we'll bring in Pinball and DeRo and everything will be fine.

    I think the first coach we should get is the guy who knows how to pass the ball to the striker.

    Service on this team is atrocious

    Also, Bernardeschi can take a hike. Zero effort yet again.

    Mabika, you HAVE to beat your man to that ball - your main responsibility is that man, not the pass to that man.

    Again...film...coach this situation during training.

    Geez....

    This is miserable so far.

    It's like they've learned very little with all that time off.

    The pressing has been better but the defence... man, Shane O'Neill is just a bad defender. Bad. We almost gave up a goal because he didn't even think to get inside his man when JOGGING back to his position pending a throw.

    Just too disjointed, too direct. We have no shape, and we don't use the pitch well.

    So depressing.

    If nothing else this should put the boots to any notion of Terry having an imminent management career.

    Making Montreal look like 2011 Barcelona.

    This club needs to be relegated to the CPL.

    We should steal Mtl’s sporting director. They sold everything last year and they are battling for a playoff spot this year and have a team with upside.

    We spent 3x as much and have jack shit to show for it.

    What the fuck is WRONG with them? Two players are trapped along the sideline and NOBODY is going over to support.

    Speaks to how bad the coaching is. You can at least me hard to break down if you aren’t skillful enough to play beautiful football

    Nobody at this organization knows anything about soccer, everyone should be fired and go coach a Timbits soccer team or something.

    Mabika looks lost. Like, he's panicky, he's so lost. Should get him off at the half. O'Neill just looks like he was cursed by a Stephen King character or something. "Lamer!", with a wave of her hand.

    Bernadeschi out there getting owned by two young Canadian kids, who somehow haven't gotten a sniff with the national team. Meanwhile Oso is out there doing f' all.
