Altidore and Osorio need to come in for Nelson and Delgado at half time
Whole team looks out of sync...but give NYC credit they are working hard.
Delgado so bad.
I'd switch Laryea & Auro around.
Vanney pissed about width & speed - I suspect Piatti comes off.
I wish Gallardo was better. This game is crying out for a player with his alleged skill set.
any links? the youtube link doesnt work anymore
Bradley with one of the worst halves I've seen from him. One good ball to Nelson but slow, hesitant, and not sharp. Credit NY press but with all of the passing quality in this squad you would think we could break them down.
Endoh will come on for Nelson though, I feel confident in saying that.
I think we are half way of seeing our boys arrive back at YYZ, most dreadful half this whole tournament, and to pay 6.3 million on a bench player, there is no way he is further behind playing at least an hour, i think if we continue benching him we need to cut the contract and sign a new DP
While it sound like heresy, I would consider taking Bradley off (and if we had any CBs, Gonzales as well, he is also having a pretty terrible game). But to be honest, no one has been good. We definitely don't deserve to win given the way we are playing. I hope Vanney is able to give them some backbone in the break. I do think some changes are required. Agree that Delgado needs to come off if you are going to keep Bradley on. Not sure why the put Nelson if they won't play the ball to him. Vanney complained on TV about having no width, but Nelson has been wide open all night on the left, and I don't think they passed it to him once.
I hope the second half is much, much better.
Because the way NYC is playing and how motivated they are, TFC needs to put together it's best half by far in the tourney for the next 45 mins to have a chance in advancing.
With both Jozy and Osorio not playing, that will be extremely difficult to do.

Piatti has played so far like a nobody being paid $200,000 per season.
We playing so predictable. Either try the right side or boot it up. No build up on the left so NYC clogs the right. Need to play on the left a bit to open up the right side. Laryea has tunnel vision to me. Just goes straight up, then gets to the line and has no space. There's been times when he could just cut to the middle either a pass or him cutting (but I think it's due to his left foot being weak). I need to see the replay again but I think his shot Nelson was wide open for a backwards diagonal pass but he's always looking straight.
The team doesn't trust Nelson at all. I feel he was put in a tough spot starting. Best for me is to ease young guys in as a sub, when they benefit from playing against tired players. Playing from the start against full strength players is tough without experiemce

We will dominate the second half and win. Jozy comes on and scores the equalizer and winner.
Why wouldn't you make changes at the half? Why would you go with an 11 that played absolutely terribly? Maybe he thinks that his half time chat can lead to a 180 in terms of performance. I hope he is right!
Ok I've seen enough...sub time
Also, who the hell are they crossing to? Pozuelo is not gonna win many headers.
Pozuelo needs a Pozuelo to pass him the ball. He made a nice run but Delron didn't have the vision to even attempt it
Are you kidding no changes? We have 5 subs what is Vanney thinking??
Wouldn’t want to change it up or anything - after such a well-played first half
Guys, the subs will come soon. He wanted to wait and see what NY did first.
I guess if we have no intention of actually winning the whole thing, then we may as well take the 3 week vacation starting now....maybe Jozy will be fit to play a whole game by mid-August.....maybe....
beat 'em thrice when they were better
karma won't forget pozuello's panenka
go tfc !
Extremely lucky again, that coulda shouda been a penalty against us.
Vanney will wait until after we’re down two to make a sub. We could be down two already.
EDIT I guess he’ll do something soon.
