Wear pink.
Fede off. Anyone else wondering if it was an ugly locker room at half time? Or maybe they just don't to risk injuring him before a move can be done.
Shane O'Neill played right back earlier in his career.
first goal petretta doesnt mark chanot, second goal osorio no where to be seen third goal bad pass by blessing
nycfc brought heber from croatia in 2019 who scored 24 regular season goals for them in 4 seasons and now bakrar from croatia who has a goal tonight...we have perruzza who would probably be a serie d (d4) or eccellenza (d5) player in italy, diomande who is always injured and sapong who is ok
way too many bad signings...and to think hernandez with no experience is the one who is expected to turn this around is scary...hopefully succeeds but theres a high possibility of failure
dunfield from day one it was clear hes not a head coach at pro level...hes the in house guy you bring in as assistant to learn how to coach at this level...good thing about him is hes very neutral so will do everything to ensure that theres no more problems in the locker room
mabika kerr mbongue in for bernardeschi franklin and translator perruzza at the break
Omg 😭😭😭
The Apple TV commentators just buried Bernie.
Pbp guy - "Are you surprised they subbed out Bernardeschi?"
Color - "No, he looked like he would rather be anywhere else than on the field"

If that doesn’t speak volumes. Your DP is taken off. Manning doesn’t get an escape clause with him that burdens the cap for the next 3 years. I just don’t get why he hasn’t been fired yet.
Who in that group on the pitch or the bench would have a go at Fede? Maybe Oso....cause everybody else is a fragile wet noodle.
The fact that Dunfield still has us trying to build from the back, but not correcting the vast separation in our lines, and not creating consistent supporting movement, says he's just not the guy.
He's looking at this as a philosophical exercise, and these guys need on-field coaching that is rigidly disciplined, high work rate, consistent and decisive. All the things we're not, basically.
The more I think about this the more I get angry at Michael Bradley and his yearly "we need more men" comments.
If Dunfield stays, we are going to be down 7-0 starting the second half vs. Maimi & he's still going to be having us pass out of the back while letting Servania lollygag around Busquets.
Petretta nearly did something!
I think Fede would initiate by pointing out the futility of football when played so poorly and how he can't do anything about it. Then Dunfield would yank him.
Something like that.
We sure are playing with more life since he left.
Maybe he's just a cunt and they hate him.
osorio mbongue

petretta puts a header on the bar
Tata will scope our spread and the lack of supporting movement and just press us back in a mid block as we cough up ball after ball and Busquets feeds him over and over. Record bad scores on that day, possibly.
jasson scores and its 4-0 at 56'
The only thing good about TFC now, is betting against them to try to recoup some of my season ticket holder money that I have simply flushed down the toilet this year......"TFC - catch the excitement".....LOL......
Lawd, Rosted is a shit defender. I'm done defending him.
Doesn't even attack the ball there. A solo man, lining up to shoot, and he moves to a marking position instead of trying to get a foot on it.
Just fucking woeful.
If we can't shed him, they should just make him a hard six, an anchor. He's good with the ball at his feet, he can hit a long pass, he tackles and closes well... usually. But without a backline leader he's just tentative shit, like O' Neill.
Just trust in the process boys…
Let's have a Bill Manning post game instead of Dunfield. He needs to be fired before Sunday and replaced by a soccer architect. No more MLS lifers.
Lose by a dozen. MLSE needs to be made aware of what is happening.
I was gonna air this out in the transfer thread but this is what pisses me off the most about the academy and how the clubs been run. Clearly alot of the deficiencies in the club have been covered up for years and now that all the band-aids are getting ripped off and exposed its painful to see how messy it is.
Like OG said and to go maybe one layer deeper - it isn't just the high level technicals. The academy products and other guys who are quite raw appear to have never been properly/gradually evaluated on the IQ and motor skill development as they came up through the various ranks- the movements and technique that get drilled over and over again to perfect various skills and player movement on and off the ball so playing in all areas of the game looks casual (ie Coello who's clearly had that experience). Quite frankly - doesn't look like these guys have ever been told they have poor technique in certain areas, and its never been corrected incrementally week after week to root out the terrible habits.
I spent some years in Holland for work for a few years- and got a chance to see Heerenveen, AZ and Utrechts youth clubs in some tournaments and got into a few chats with coaches at the time- and if you saw these youth products towards the end of the pipeline vs. the guys into the top club, their skill/technique on various pass types/controlling the ball, positioning to win duels and take away space etc. etc... all those fundamentals were virtually synonymous with first teamers in time and space- the guys who were basically ready to make the jump that is. Where the first teamers separated themselves from the B clubs and youth products was their ability to perform those mechanics at faster pace under faster processing. But ultimately... Each of those academies have a set of criteria and a matrix in motor/cognitive/various football abilities from a young age and the players need to hitting those marks... regardless if they score 100 goals in the youth clubs or are the best ball winner in the system. It isn't about the goals/assists... its about the process of incrementally improving these kids, rooting out bad technique with repetition and if they can't do basic shit- they aren't getting pushed up into the first squads.
And we are god awful at preparing not only academy kids, but younger first teamers' for these basic fundamentals. Like The peruzza pass out wide to Bernadeschi last half. He had time and space to set the ball and hit it accordingly in a basic drilled pass outwide leading berna just a slight bit to run into- and he just shanked the fk out of it; and that type of terrible pass/cross happens what feels like 85% of the time these days lol with any of our guys. A kid playing in a proficient academy and first team with proper coaching should be drilled enough to come in and hit those passes when not pressured. Hopefully this is part of the awakening and modernizing how we do things with Hernandez
Amen to that. Just a fraudulent process up until now, it's been so insufficient.
rutty in for blessing at 63...great sliding block by rosted
My only concern about this loss is:
- it should be seen as the final nail in the "Dunfield can stay the year while we look"
- they may impetuously rush into somebody
I am hoping that JH has decided that the right coach in 2 weeks is better then the not quite as good coach in a week.
So can we say Bob > Dunfield?
I have zero issue with sending Dunfield back to get destroyed by Atlas. We'll have nearly a month afterwards to find a manager.
probably but this feels like part of the recovery/rehab process lol of airing it all out. Bob made shite decisions and hid the teams lack of quality real well. I'd rather we rip all the bandaids off, air it out, swallow the pride and get an honest assessment of how trash we are - so we can build up lol. Hopefully they have a few ambitious coaches in mind up for the task of a culture rebuild.
If the next coach can turn it around along with hernandez on the ops end... lol their gonna be upping their stock more than they can believe lol
They should really refund the rest of the season at this point
This is pointless. Go forward, you cowards.
