Was in 124 but moved to 132 at the start of the second. Might’ve crossed some of you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Pretty harsh 2nd yellow there on Iliadis. Glad to see Montreal get a win in front of a decent home crowd. As bad as their season has been so far, they are 3-1 at home in all competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Good work by Montreal according to Bogert at the Athletic. Most confusing trade: Miami fleeces Montreal I have never got more texts from executives around the league asking if I made a typo in my initial report than when Inter Miami and CF Montreal completed their deal earlier this month. You must have it wrong. Miami couldn’t have gotten Kamal Miller *AND* $1.3 million GAM for Bryce Duke and Ari Lassiter, right? Best managerial hire: Wilfried Nancy, Columbus Crew The total package of what Wilfried Nancy brings to the Columbus Crew, and the complete shift of the culture he replaced, makes him the best 2023 hire so far. Nancy has the Crew playing some of the most aesthetically-pleasing soccer in the league and they are picking up results already. His player development expertise has resurrected Alexandru Matan’s Crew career as well as building up young players like Aidan Morris, Will Sands, Mo Farsi, Jacen Russell-Rowe and more. All of this adds value in the literal trade/transfer sense, but the fact that all these players are on relatively cheap deals. also adds value to the salary cap. The cheat code in MLS is getting more from less. https://theathletic.com/4455608/2023/04/26/mls-transfer-window-superlatives/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 3 wins in a row (all comps). Mathieu Choiniere looks the real deal this season and Sean Rea is at the very least earning his minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 They're not world beaters yet but perhaps it makes sense that a team with a new manager that turned over half of its roster would take a bit longer to get rolling. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely look better in every sense, playing a few games at home seems to have done them a world of good. Lassiter and Duke have brought a whole other dimension to the 11. That Miller trade isn't looking so terrible a few games in. They stand quietly at 4 wins now.

Bison44 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Man they sure take a lot of heat from Kilbane/DeG though. I missed the first half, started watching at halftime but caught it on replay this am. From the tounge lashing they got at halftime I thought they were down 3 goals and not in a 0-0- game against a club above them in the standings. They were shaky and got outplayed in the first half, but they also frustrated Orlando and kept a clean sheet until the subs came on and did their thing. Slowly building the confidence to grind out results, and turn their season around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Orlando looked a very dangerous side and this was no where near the performance Montreal had compared to their Stade Saputo home opener, but perhaps the broacaster wanted more of an edgy narrative from the commentary. Sometimes, when things aren't clicking, you've just got to keep grinding and eventually things might go your way, as they did here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe all they needed was a coach who was dedicated to getting their asses in shape? Have heard from multiple players who've moved from the MLS to basically anywhere in Europe that MLS training doesn't even come close to the same intensity. Anyways, early days still but definitely seems like his young (and cheap) squad is responding quite positively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked so slow and groggy the first games, it was very alarming. I didn't see how they'd cope with two matches per week. Glad to see I was wrong here, hope it continues. Losada also understands he needs to use his bench, which is nice when you demand so much from your players. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the history of violent attacks outside the stadium in Montreal, I'd expect that this is partly out of safety concerns for Toronto FC supporters, as much is it is about punishment. That said, there's still a lot of publicly available, surprisingly cheap, tickets on their website - so there's nothing stopping anyone who is travelling, and not wearing bright red, from getting to the match. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been more than one incident when a couple of non-involved Toronto fans were attacked. But that's not the point. Stuff has happened. Safety says don't create a situation 4 days later that could lead to injury. Everyone needs to stop the blame game, and name/shame the filth on both sides. Who did what first doesn't matter. Toronto fans don't need to react violently, even if a couple idiots do something idiotic. And vice-versa. jonovision and Bison44 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
