Good things for TFC have lead to good things for soccer in Canada. I love their ambition, i wish Joey wasn’t fucking cheap and toxic. id love to have one of your DP’s, but hey Atleast if you have them I can see them play when TFC comes to town. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s where me and most of my buddies who follow soccer differ. They’re all to a man bigger IMFC fans than Canada fans, so any player who wears the red shirt is the enemy, it’s hard for me to have that level of hate, even though… it’s Toronto. my friend warned me not to bring up Ballou Tabla in his brother’s presence, since he’s still miffed over Tabla wearing a TFC jersey at some practice session some years back and ever since, he’s prayed upon his downfall. johnyb and Jack1997 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Starting tonight for TFC (game is on TSN 4 at 8:30). Interestingly, FotMob has him striking. I assume this isn’t accurate but it does suggest he isn’t playing in the back line. Left wing maybe? Edited April 22, 2023 by dyslexic nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Observer Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I thought he was pretty good in a poor match for TFC. He is very smart with the ball and was one of the few that could break the pressure in the first half with the few touches he had. In the second, he was better especially when moved from LW to RW. Made a few nice passes, drifted inside a lot to get more involved and just showed more energy. I think he has to played with more urgency and fire. With Insigne and Bernardeschi on the wings, I really think they need to play him as a 10 in the middle as he is so good on the ball, keeping it and making small passes. But he will need to be more aggressive to play there (he seems to drift a lot). His path to regular minutes is blocked by the the other two, unfortunately.

I think he gets open well but needs that last through pass which Richie didn’t give him often enough. i see him as RW/CAM. An Observer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I only watched the 2nd half but last night was my “oh, I get it” moment with JMR. Even in games when he’s won MOTM in the past I wasn’t overly impressed but last night he played just so damn smart and shifty. You could tell that he’s up to speed and was TFC’s most reliable player on the ball late on.

It's a waste to limit him to being an attacking minded full back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Just bumping this because he has been on the bench for the last couple of matches and didn’t get on the field at all tonight (and only in injury time in the last game). I suspect he plays in the V-Cup game against CFM but he needs more reps consistently at this point. narduch, costarg, Nello and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Don’t think there’s a good reason why he wasn’t brought on, he has shown he can help them.

frmr Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I can’t think of a single reason I would want to play for TFC as a young, talented Canadian. Anywhere Else FC. dyslexic nam, Jack1997, SF and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that I find ridiculous is how poorly run this club has been (for years) but there will always be fans and media preaching patience.

InglewoodJack Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 It’s funny to complain about JMR not playing, and then you realize it’s not a JMR thing, TFC straight up doesn’t use their bench. You’d think a team struggling for wins would be a bit more creative with their subs. narduch and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is damming because he built the team too. johnyb, Dominic94, Club Linesman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley seems like someone who has given up. He just doesn't look interested or like he cares. Only thing he seems passionate about is giving his son all the minutes possible. I'm getting serious Conte vibes here, like he just wants to get fired and pickup the cheque on the way out.

canuckgbp Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 At a certain point the onus is on the player to force a move, whether that be a loan or something permanent. Maybe he and is agent still feel like he can win a regular place on this team. Shall see what the summer window brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What power does a 18 year old under contract have to force a move? Can you give an example of someone who successfully managed what you propose?
