Vancouver looks tired. We should attack
Bradley and Cheyrou have been much m ore disciplined about covering the back line this half. Made a huge difference.
Forget parking the bus, too much time left and we've all seen how that ends. The new park the bus is the Mourinho special: cramp everyone into the middle third of the field and the game just gets ground down to death. It's like the soccer version of the neutral zone trap.Originally Posted by Richard
Yup, the half time talk paid off
Haha. Was just kidding. But yeah Vancouver does look tired, we've seem to have settled down.
Agreed ... every time we try to sit back and soak up the pressure it never works.
Fuck we're looking good against a top 3 team in the west!
What?
We have a coach who can get things into the heads of the two most experienced midfielders on our team?!?!?!?!
Who knew.........

Here comes the cavalry, literally, for VCWC.
It's a weird combination that doesn't really make sense. The wide men in a diamond need to be B2B. Cheyrou definitely isn't, whereas Bradley is. So we have a wide man who wants to putt around spraying passes, and a DM who just wants to go forward. It would make so much sense to just switch them around
Is Mattocks wearing his mansier?
Crevalle has had a good game so far. He's all over the place.
Ok, I'm an Altidore fan now
That midfield battle with Koffie?
Me too lol
Altidore can manhandle anyone in this league, to top it off he's got good technique, perfect for this league.
Really like the new kit, too. Looks quite sharp.
For once, we look like the wiley veteran team that can get away with stuff.
Yes sir, and now another battle up top
Manneh seems to have switched sides. Don't understand that move considering the success he was having on the left against Creavalle and Caldwell.

It's kind of stunning to see the increase in the quality of play in this league, since even TFC joined the league.

I remember last year's first game against Seattle and the amount of Sounder fans who claimed we were diving.
Its going to be even worse after this game.
I'll say. Some of those early games were borderline unwatchable.
You mean Altidore and Giovinco are better than Welsh and Lombardo?!
Yes, you could say there is an improvement in quality there!
good move taking Giovinco off. Something we did not see enough with Defoe and Bradley last season
Not just with TFC, though. The whole league has grown so much since then.

Not just our stars though - the actual overall ball movement is a lot more precise and crisp than it was five years ago.
No more chaos theory and shin pinball.

At this late stage in the game I am glad that Henry is doing well in Blackburn
Matthew Doyle @MLSAnalyst 22s23 seconds ago We live in a world where TFC, on the road against a good team, are killing the game off with smart possession. #ThisIsTheEnd
We are controlling this game?!?
Well, game's not over yet ... we all know what usually happens (cross those fingers).
