Also, a misplaced pass is not the only way to lose possession. I feel it doesn't matter when IMO. One thing I haven't heard many people say is that Oso has a problem with the ball at his feet. I've heard about his poor finishing, simplistic passing range and defensive issues, but his ability to dribble out of trouble, pass and move is excellent.

Obinna Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Was subbed out for Delgado today in the 2nd half. Had a few good moments, one shot on target and one giveaway. Wasn't the worst player on the field for Toronto - no one was particularly bad, Columbus was just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I thought he had a good match, you just knew Vanney would give him the hook when he made his one bad pass, others made many more! It bothers me how critical Caldwell is of him while giving others a free pass, there was a play in the 1st half where Morrow had a brutal giveaway and Osorio hustled back to disrupt the shooter, Caldwell exclaimed "Osorio has to do much better there to get goal side" wtf?

Bradley was very much at fault for the first goal... ball watching, trotting back and lost his man (Higuain), who took the cross and buried it. None of the commentators willing to publicly hold him to account for it... only a very meek passing mentioned that he could have had better positioning. So yeah, double standards do exist. Sucks for guys like Oso. BenFisk'sBiggestFan and Bison44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 A friend of mine who was at the match in the South Stands said the guys behind him were just relentless in slagging Osorio, he will be the only Canadian some of the fans can vent on this year! I watch his game very closely as I'm sure many on this board do, what I've seen from the MLS play offs to the early season matches this year gives me hope he will be an important part to our National Team moving forward!

BrennanFan Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It remains to be seen whether he can raise his game to the concacaf level, but he deserves a run of games at least. With his style, he can either be a game changer with his passing or be a turnover liability. There is no middle ground with him. When he is playing with confidence tho, we have no one like him in the mid, quick feet to keep possession and those dangerous through balls...

I like him more as a linking player who can ghost into the box and get chances. He gets too much criticism when he has poor moments but he's also a guy, like Doneil Henry, who loses the plot mentally if things aren't going right for him. Maybe he's the perfect candidate for Herdman's philosophy and the new coach can get him to take his game to the next level.

I thought the whole midfield quartet were out of sync with their defensive responsibilities. That really hurt them today in giving away many chances including those leading to the two goals.

I can't think of one moment of the match where Osorio was poor defensively in fact I will say he was quite good on that side of the ball, he made a goal saving block which ended in a corner for the Crew and a couple of nice clearances to relieve pressure!

I think when the coaches break down video both he and Bradley will acknowledge that they had to be more aware of the movement and positioning of some of the Crew attackers behind them, especially Higuaín. The Spaniards didn't help much either. He showed great hustle in recovery defense, no doubt, but that's only one facet of midfield defending. FWIW, I thought Osorio was the best of the TFC mids today. Free kick and CNMNTPERUELIGIBLE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was losing it when TFC made their third sub and Altidore was still on the field. Osorio was probably the best player on the field, more or less, and gets subbed out. Altidore was invisible for the third game in a row, including a game where he threw up on the field, and yet he is un-subable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly to take Osorio off and why not put Ricketts on for his change of pace for Altidore who has looked like he is still hungover from the TFC victory party!
