He has some clear problems as a professional player, fair enough. And really sorry to have to say so. Nice win tonight, we are actually still alive.

He needs a manager who can help him add some soccer smarts to the mix. He IS improving this part of his game, but it is not unusual for guys like Doneil to resort to all-guts as they grow tired, which is what happened here, and on the own-goal in the Canadian championships etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 That is the second time this year he has given up a sort of OLE red card with his hands over his head like he was at a drake concert. I am big Henry fan but shouldnt a coach have sat him down years ago and told him to keep his arms down. Dont they have some sort of bungee cord they could attach to his arms in practice so he physically cant get his arms over his head?? I thought he was having a good game. HA HA to all the guys on the board who said he couldnt be trusted, then he pulls a bone head play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Classic Doneil Henry..with these mistakes over and over he shows that hes not good enough to be a starter in a strong mls team and shouldnt be starting for the national team..would be fun to know how many penalties hes conceded in his career..probably 10-15 in +-120 competitve club pro games + around 15 goals that he was directly responsible for 2014: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s our weakest position at the moment but Henry is getting regular minutes in the best league of any of our CB’s. Need a couple guys to develop but right now we need him and James. The elder statesmen can be there to support. And finally in his defence Henry has had a horrible run of injuries so he has not had the hundreds of games that CB’s need to solidify the intellectual aspect of the game to go with his physical abilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Henry's overall play has been fairly solid with the Caps. His biggest problem is that he still tries to force a big play, either a higher risk tackle or block and in doing so opens himself up to a big mistake. And that's a problem that several physically talented defenders have had over the years. He might eventually grow out of it, or might not. At least he's healthy, which is a big positive.

toontownman Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Also baring in mind he is probably in the worst team in the league for making rash hot headed decisions and I'll discipline. Hopefully whomever comes in can put him on the right track, provided he wants to keep him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Apart from that error, the team was pretty well in its usual line of play, with great talent and potential, but lacking hardcore work on the training pitch and in tactics. All the best to the sub coach, but he is not doing anything revolutionary nor do I see a thing altered. Maybe that is unfair, but still, there are plenty of cases of interim managers shaking things up. I hope they hire someone able to evaluate what is wrong and then with the backing to pull out the lash and flail away. We're the only Canadian team at all close to a even or winning record this year, in all competitions; with a decent coach, make that a few more results, and maybe a different overall narrative for the team.

I like Rusty getting forward a bit--judiciously. But, yeah, the new manager is just holding the reins till the new guy is hired. Having said that, this just shows how crap TFC has been when they lose at home to a pretty mediocre Caps side. (I blame Osorio, the lazy bastard ?)

BearcatSA Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 TFC's attacking play has been pretty good all year. The defensive side of the game has been another story, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its seems to me the new coach has changed formation from a 4-2-3-1 to a 4-1-4-1. Ghazal has been holding by himself and Teibert is higher up the pitch. Farhan Devji @farhandevji FollowingFollowing @farhandevji More The main difference I've seen from #VWFC under Dalrymple is how aggressive they press. Look at how advanced Teibert was today. Made life difficult for Bradley and TFC's back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 TFC missed two huge scoring opportunities (Janson, Auro) whereas the Caps were clinical (Teibert, Kamara). The defensive play/pressing was not dissimilar to the road win in Columbus very early in the season. They played a similar upfield pressing game last week against the Galaxy but got burned by brain cramp penalties and also no key save. At least this time against TFC I didn't have to watch the Caps let them play passes around the park and revere to Nick Hagglund on the ball as if he was Franz Beckenbauer.

SkuseisLoose Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Why didn't we push at the end there, I know we would've had to make up a goal differential of about 10 on the final day but it was possible. Though on the plus side Davies looked really good today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Disappointing but the damage wasn't done today, it has been a long season of sub par performances and it will take considerable investment on and off the pitch and moving of players to get back looking like playoff contenders. There is certainly a core of players to play with but it depends who is brought in. Too many players need motivating but if we get the right coach that will save some considerable money on the players we have. Still need starting fullbacks on either side, a solid CB, two decent strikers, a replacement for Davies and likely a new central midfield. So many players also need moving on.

Unnamed Trialist Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 In the end, it comes down to two results: alter two games in your favour and you are in the playoffs, more or less. Losing three straight at home is the key as I see it, as you have to be able to compete in the crunch. And we didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
