canuckgbp Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 First half thoughts- His passing as been good. Nice weight to them. Brought down a nice ball from the sky, held the ball up and put in a nice cross. Not much presence on defence. Doesn't have Shaffs hustle for example... Have to remind myself Shaff is 5 years older lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably just the age gap but now I realize why commentators and coaches talk about great young players who are fearless. JMR seems like he'd be a great player if he could be more like that. For example when Solteldo dribbled into 5 players near Jakeele he just stood still watching him without making any hard run or providing an attacking move. He just sorta tried to stay out of the way. I bet he'd be great if he trusted his instincts and realized they are probably better decisions than anyone else around him would make.

Seemed afraid to make a mistake. Once Priso scored his goal he changed completely, being more aggressive and making challenging passes. Might be a similar case here. Needs time to gain confidence. He will almost double his MLS minutes with this outing. Hopefully this next half he is more aggressive. dyslexic nam, saintjoes and Ruffian 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be frank, that isn’t just hesitation - he was really ineffective on that play because he didn’t make himself a part of It. But since that time he has been pretty positive. …and as I type he gets subbed out at 60 minutes. No idea why he came off. He has been looking good since the start of the 2nd half and just made a huge run and penalty box tackle to save a breakaway. What a dumb decision from Perez.

He hasn’t singlehandedly changed the game, but he was involved lots. He fed a great pass to Shaff, he has been making lots of give and goes, and he had just made a crucial tackle after tracking back 50 yards. I used to support TFC as my MLS team, but I am really starting to dislike this club. Nello, Corazon, gator and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 What the actual fuck…. Way to ruin his confidence… at this point his agent needs to get him out. canuckgbp, Stryker911, narduch and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckgbp Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) 2nd half- JMR with a great through ball to Shaff. Fanned on a shot outside the box. Great defensive play that saved a goal. Huge sprint from the halfway line. Great tackle in the box and won the ball with it going out on the attacker. Gets subbed off at the 61th min..... idk. Thought he was playing fine. Not sure what Perez is thinking. Poz coming on for him.... Despite what Perez will say this will jurt JMR confidence. The season is OVER. He was playing fine. Frustrating to see. Hope he keeps his head up. Edited October 17, 2021 by canuckgbp dyslexic nam, Dominic94, Corazon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should he ever get more than 30 minutes of playing time, he'll have more self-confidence and grow into a better player. You saw flashes of it tonight. canuckgbp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Two-faced Perez says at half time to TSN that is the time for JMR. Then he subs him off. dyslexic nam, Corazon, Bdog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I don’t know what to say, like why the hell is an injured and done Altidore even playing ??? And like look Poz is great but wth… move someone else, Rutty is the future not fucking broken Jozy, 40 year old Giovinco and 40 year old Bradley. Rutty needs to head to Europe and force a move.

Even if it was, Pozuelo is now playing centrally and Delgado has moved out to JMR's spot. There's no way that is by design. Perez got scared of losing (more) and thought Delgado would be a better option than JMR. That should tell you all you need to know. Edit: the smart substitution for Pozuelo would be Osorio, especially considering Osorio's workload after the last two weeks.

canuckgbp Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 After the amazing run and saving a attempt on goal you think he would have second thoughts. Poz or Altidore going to track back like that? If it was preplanned and JMR knew it was coming then maybe it is understandable. I don't like it though.

His agent needs to get him out and tear off Perez’s head, at this point man anyone still trying to win with this team of players who aren’t good enough has to go. play the kids.

Gian-Luca Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 It was planned that Pozuelo and Altidore would come on at 60 min but the wrong players came off. Osorio looked absolutely exhausted and naturally so, he was the obvious choice. And I would have taken off Bradley since he can’t defend anymore and neither can he hit the side of docked cruise ship if he was standing on the pier.
