His expectations outstrip his talent level. Yeah, bringing in Cesar for 4 months was dumb but in general Bednik is a guy who has below average fundamentals but occasionally looks good making flashy saves. Always appeared his communication with his defenders was poor. There's no reason why he shouldn't have been pushed for his spot - he never played consistently enough to be an everyday starter.Originally Posted by molenshtain
I'll take either of our current guys or Frei over him.
Agreed. That was bad timing for Bendik we got that opportunity but if we were to blame all his inconsistency on that aquisition we'd be given him too much leeway IMO. He was challenged most of his time here. I'm happy he found a top spot home with the Mickey Mouse/Snowbirds. He's prolly loving the new digs and the weather.
FORMER FULL TIME KOOL-AID DRINKER
playing and learning from ceasar is never an opportunity an MLS keeper should pass up
Knowing our history with former TFC players playing against us, Bendik will probably channel MLS Cup Frei tonight. And someone needs to make a sign "Welcome back Will! Please don't score on us."
I'm thinking TFC could lose this one 1-0.

If Cesar had been a coach, sure I could get behind that sentiment. But he was here for four months as a marketing ploy. If I'm Bendik and I see the club values a marketing ploy over letting their #1 actually play, I'm gonna be pretty pissed.
That, and the fact that the club and and many fans blamed our disastrous 2014-2015 defenses on him. His form fell off a bit, but it certainly was not as much down to him as everyone thought. And it didn't help that we kept pulling him and taking him out at a moments notice.
He's played very very well behind the first semi-organized defence he's had in his career. I don't think it's a total fluke.

Bendik is a great shop stopper which is why he looks so good right now and last year. He's still poor in distribution and can't communicate worth beans in Libbyland.
Bono is better and Irwin is a significant upgrade.
I don't disagree.I think both of our current options are an upgrade. I just don't think he was treated completely fairly by many.
I wanna see TFC curbstomp Shithole City tonite!
TORONTO FC, 2017 MLS CHAMPIONS!!! (Still the greatest in league history!)
No changes to our starting lineup.

As for Orlando, theirs isn't quite posted yet but it looks like we won't have to worry about Johnson potentially haunting us.

The Mickey Mouse club is going to freeze their, butts off tonight. Larin doesn't perform well on Canadian soil, should be fun to watch!
Interesting about no Johnson ... certainly ups our chances.
It's so weird; I know we should be feeling pretty confident here (on a good run, at home), but there's this feeling something could slip up.
But I think the ream needs to set a goal of going undefeated at BMO this year. It would be a huge challenge but it's doable.
So I'm conflicted.

Before people start moaning and complaining on how empty the stadium looks at kickoff, blame the typical Toronto weekday traffic congestion.
Not everyone can plan to be there 30+ minutes before kickoff.
All right, I'll say it. When Moor comes back, do we actually take Edwards out of the XI?
The guy creates goals.
Edward's wont be in MLS much longer.
Excellent start.
Team is on fire right now. Playing amazing!
Yes! Great awareness from Vasquez.
Vazquez is serving up a feast of excellent passes.
That was a gift to Orlando. Quit playing before the whistle blew.
Damn, that's a soft one to give up. Orlando haven't done much, but that was a good ball in and Zavaleta couldn't handle Larin.
What a shitty way to fuck up a very nice first half, and now to make for a tension full second half.
With 2-0 at break time we would've been 95% sure of victory today.
Yeah.. we go to halftime up 2-0 Orlando I guarantee it's nearly game over.
Unfortunate lapse but feel we can see this one out.
I think someone else on the backline gets dropped and Morrow stays on the left side. If not we'd see a fair amount of rotation, which is not bad as both guys could have a lisence to really blaze up and down the touch line creating issues for the opposition.
Edwards is progressing a lot with this game time, it would be a shame to interrupt that. He's got a young man's confidence to try some things that more experienced players might avoid. Good to have some (but not too much) of that.
Too much defending. Need to retain possession more.
Wake the fuck up, we play like shit all this half!!!!!
Anyone have another stream? Youtube one went down.
I can understand Vanney wanting to preserve Vazquez a bit for the Seattle game but that's a risky sub.
