toontownman Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Really fun half. While I have ragged on Valour ownership and ambition, full props to Dos Santos. Valour are almost always better than I expect. Today they have been really well organized, drilled and a great high press. Probably the better side but very even and enjoyable first half.

I think he's one of the best managers in the league, given he has to start each season with one of the least talented squads. toontownman and K Edgar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) 2-1 Forge. A Cela special. 2 screw-ups on the same play. That's game. I hate Forge so much. Nothing redeeming about them. Edited May 13, 2023 by jonovision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Forge bring on Poku, Pacius and Choiniere, all of whom are better players than 7 or 8 of the Valour starters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 The surrender flag (inserting Ulloa) going up from Phil dos Santos. Good effort, but Valour simply don't have enough healthy bodies to compete with the best. K Edgar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Other than Yesli and Gutierrez, every Forge player is better than every Valour counterpart. Just dispiriting trying to win games from this situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second half was silliness but the game was over by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take Poku, who rides the bench for Forge at LB, over De Brienne. If you look at goal #1 today, De Brienne isn't marking Borges (who has the ball) goal side ON HIS OWN ENDLINE. Borges then turns in towards the Valour net on the end line and passes to his teammate which is the beginning of the sequence for Forge goal #1. There seem to be some fans who think very highly of De Brienne. I am not one of them. He's a defensive liability. Whatever people want to say is his natural position, he's playing LB for Valour.
