Free kick Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, Metro said: I'm having an endless debate with a friend of mine where I DO believe he is capable of playing at a DP level but the lack of support from his teammates is really killing his game. One example was last night in the first half when he was able to create space for himself at the top corner of the box but when he looked up to see who was making the run, all his teammates were staring back at him, marked and motionless. For me, that's just poor preparation from the coaching staff. I think its a bit of both. On the one hand, its looks like he needs time to integrate and develop that chemistry with his team mates (and vice versa). On the other hand, we have seen other DP talents (or international talents come in on TAM contracts) fit in much more quickly. We can see that the talent is there hence, for now, its more of a wait and see IMHO. Therefore i hope that they dont throw in the towel too quickly and give him a chance to see what he can do next year. This season pretty much a write off anyways.

canuckgbp Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Do we think TFC eggheads will buy out Altidore for next season? I know they get one that doesn't count against the cap. Not sure Omar's contract status but he would be another candidate. $3m plus is a lot to buy out tho for Jozy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic94 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 There’s more than I would like but that last one is damning…. I think it says everything on where they view their youth, and how. Basically… we don’t think they’re ready and any better than what we have now. Also, we’re insane, we believe that we can still make the playoffs using these current players who haven’t been good enough and are also the reason we’re in last place. At this point it’s safe to say Perez and TFC Brass are delusional, either Perez is having his buttons pushed, or it’s both he and Curtis, but accountability is needed. I don’t see how Ali Curtis can be the GM going forward and even Manning’s job should be in question, for Perez it seems like he’s willing to try and shake things up but why is he not willing to try youth at CB ? What’s going on there ? Clearly there’s something else at play because he’s been willing to use Priso and Okello over Bradley.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Maybe TFC need to lose in the Voyageur's Cup for something to happen. I find it very odd this guy, Pérez, has so little character. If you get your chance take it and make a statement at least. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 While he isn’t exactly Mr Personality, he does have something of a resume. Frankly he is a caretaker in a disaster of a season and as I think he will go along with whatever party line is being projected, he will finish the season and a “real” coach will be in place for next season. Hopefully they will use this opportunity to give some of the youngsters playing time and give Poz and Soltaldo some rest occasionally. Gear up for the Canadian Championship and let the kids cut their teeth in the MLS. Is there a top defender available in the draft next year?

mtroads Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I don't understand the lineup tonight. You're up against the 2nd worst team in the league and playoffs a long ways away, why is every mediocre veteran starting tonight and none of the kids they claimed they were going to play this season? I get they left Dunn, Singh and everyone else with TFC II, but it seems like a weird decision. The team just looks lifeless. narduch, Ruffian and baulderdash77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 If you've been watching TFC the last few years..you totally expected this and are used to it. Its not even arguing about anymore.

Maybe next season they will look at the league for some value. With the shortened season last year not enough to showcase the young talent. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I stopped watching at the half and went over to montreal...(i know i know, what can i say..die hard tfc fan). Did anything good come out of the second half? I'm sure Delgado played well..ran around a lot? Both top choice CB's were in there...must have been good defense eh?? And our wonderul retread/rehashed american strike team of Dwyer(hes on a multiyear contract..woo hooo) and Mullins..are they still on their goose egg for the season??

Gian-Luca Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 At this point I think it’s time to assess which non Canucks should stay for next season. I am thinking Pozuelo, Achara and maybe Soteldo if he can be made a TAM player. Maybe Bono and Lawrence as well. Every other non Canuck needs to go. baulderdash77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baulderdash77 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I tuned into the game- saw the lineup and thought “WTF this is stupid” and tuned out again. I don’t understand why the team is rolling out proven mediocre or worse vets and expecting anything other than losses. Wake me up again when they start playing the young guys. This team is just sad. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroArrow Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I saw a lot of players going through the motions and that was it. I think the commentators were spot on when they said that these games are now a measuring stick for who should be kept for next year and most of the players were failing the test. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit a poor match upon which to base my opinion but last night I saw him have good passing options yet he just tried to do it himself. This team has no heart and is a disgrace to the supporters. It needs a complete renovation, not a rebuild on the fly. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
