Toronto FC Discussion Thread

Carver is really getting exposed lately.

The moment I saw Ibrahim come out for Rickettes I knew it was trouble. Ibrahim was the only consistent midfielder coming back to defend. When he left we got exposed down the flank.

Also, what is with this long ball, no possession soccer. We used to make fun of this kick and run soccer in highschool, let alone the professional level. We have some talented midfielders with the ball at their feet. Take that to your advantage.

Also we know that our Defense is not as strong. Our midfielders need to do a BETTER job coming back to defend. I find Guevera does a very poor job at times coming back.

Frei again with a great job in net. I have a feeling this kid ll be gone in the next couple of years.

We should of won that game.

A tie in the last few minutes of a game in no longer acceptable, but it's becoming the norm...

I have no faith in our defense to keep a clean sheet. God knows Frei deserves a ton of them but our defense as a team, we all know about our back line, is atrocious!

We have to outscore teams to win. We have the players. We have the chances. How many more gimmes do we have to miss? Carver should play with a Barcelona tactic.

.......................GK........................
LB...........CB..............CB.............RB
........................DM.......................
.....LM..............................RM........
.....................F/AM......................
...............S................S.................

At least this way we can keep the ball in the enemy territory. Play Dero as a striker and Guevera as the playermaker (f/am) because god knows they are useless defenders. And put a Dichio/Barrett/Vitti paired up with Dero. That is a skilled front line that could hopefully keep the ball up in the other half as much as possible. After you pop a couple in, you have the necessary players on the pitch to switch tactics and not have to make changes.

Whoa, since when did Freddie Ljunberg start playing for Seattle?

Since Drew Carey started sleeping with men.

A win! How fun!

Let's get another this weekend.

We started to lose confidence once again late in the game but still managed to hold on.

Adrian Serioux is a beautiful man! He was god on that pitch last night.

BTW, Carver finally listened to me and played a 4 3 3!!! we kept possession, long balls were kept to a minimum. it was beautiful.

Lets get another this weekend, Common You Reds!

What a sudden end to his career with TFC.

I can't believe he's gone. I didn't really like his coaching style, but I thought with a new young team he was exactly what we needed at the time.

I'm guessing Mo will take over until the end of the season.

I don't understand what happened.

I know he likes to blame losses on his players. Did he lose the clubhouse? Did the players have something to do with it? Did he get a better opportunity we are not aware of?

I just dont understand it right now

Are there any young stars in the MLS this season? After Adu, I don't remember any young talents from the U.S.

Well we have a nice young talent by the name of Frei in goal. I cant see this kid sticking around the MLS more than two years. We better accomplish something while we have him.

Especially since he may qualify as a Euro national.

Good days for MLSE - they have two interim coaches coaching. Mega savings.

Should be a good game and I hope some hockey fans watching on the CBC stick around for the game.

Good way to grow the sport in Canada.

Turned out to be a horrible game to watch but I'll take the tie.

Vancouver is up next to start the Canadian Championship, I can't wait.

Wow 260,000 people watched the TFC game on Saturday.

It beat out the Jays game and Boston vs. Chicago!

Any ideas on how we can generate more of a discussion here?

Tonight's game is on Sportsnet and should be a good one. I think the Canadian Championship is very important for the team to win this season.

MLSE would also probably love the extra games so they can sell more tickets.
