TFC vs Dallas post-match rant

[TOBOR !]

My avatar curse better fucking work soon, if he plays one more game I'll become an Impact fan, much less painful.

Well...actually nevermind. Fuck Montreal.

thanks man. you made me smile.

[Heathen]

There`ve been too many games this season that people have been willing to write off but if there ever was one to sacrifice it`s this one. 5 debutants it wasn`t worth investing too much hope. What I will say is that Frings looks a class above anything we've had at TFC.

[sully]

You're not going to consistently win with Ty Harden and Danliegh Borman playing. Your just not. End of discussion. Any other improvements are pointless.

Yes absolutely ^^^

[TOBOR !]

go Venezuela!

[Oldtimer]

Meanwhile in Seattle...

Not looking out of place just yet vs. Man. Utd.

Man Utd. is barely trying. YAWN

[bigtfcfan]

Iro and Harden = Fail
Frings = highest quality player we have ever had
Yourass = needs to play at LB instead of Borman
Ecks = very missed today

[Serb_Star]

Preki>Winter, at least he knew ho to keep the team organized.

Frings had some great moments.

[TFC07]

Next week we'll be significantly stroker with Ecks back, and Dunfield fit. That means Youra at right back, and Ecks at left back.

I can't believe Maicon Santos missed that wide open header.

I think you mean this Saturday.

TFC vs Sporting KC.

Pretty much what I expected, I said this team would need 2-3 games to find their way and losing to a top club in MLS shouldn't surprise us. These guys are after all MLS Cup finalists. I thought there was some good points to take. The DPs did show flashes of their superior quality. I thought Soolsma did well coming on as a sub.

But the D. Oh dear lord that D. And the space again in the middle of the pitch could fit several small houses.

Overall, better. But better from shit is something along the lines of average, and considering the payroll of this roster, average is not good enough. Let's hope that with time, it goes well above average.

I saw some promise. We knew going into this game that it was going to be a few weeks before the new guys gelled with the existing team, but with that said, there were good things.

Frings was fantastic, for his first game as a Red. His set pieces were generally great, and every touch he had was sublime.

Koov showed some cleverness, but was a bit rough, as well as clearly not match fit.

Viator and Iro were all over the place, quality-wise. Considering Viator just signed today, and was playing out of position, I'm willing to give him a bit of time.

Yourass, Sturgis, Borman and Harden were all total garbage.

Hopefully with JDG and Ecks back in the lineup, we look a bit more coherent going forward next time up.

Agreed. I was hoping for a positive result, but Dallas definitely played like MLS Cup finalists tonight.

As for the new acquisitions, Frings played as advertised, Koevermans should be a force once he is match fit, Johnson was creative on the attack, and Iro and Viator were fairly solid defensively, although Viator seems more suited to play in the central defence.

It was a disappointing result tonight, but the additions of Eckersley, JDG, and Dunfield should make a noticeable difference next match.

[TFC USA]

Ty. Fucking. Harden.

[TOBOR !]

go Venezuela!

0 - 0 after 90.

[Stryker]

The reason I hate Harden so much isn't even because he sucks so badly. Its the way he lazily jogs back to or across the box when he could easily challange for the ball if he just busted his ass once in a while.

[PopePouri]

It's always nice to know Vancouver is there to make us feel better.

"the DPS', dont know about that.....Frings no doubt showed some quality and heart.... Danny..... first game and all but I didn't notice him at all

[TFC USA]

It's obvious we aren't making the playoffs, and if you think otherwise you are damn near demented.

So as much as it pisses me off that in year 5 we're looking for improvement, we have no choice but to look for improvement.

Agreed. I think we have all has pretty much accepted that were not going to make it yet again.

Holy shit Shite Bulls are 4-0 down to Colorado.

[TOBOR !]

0 - 0 after 90.

Paraguay down to 10 men in 104th mimute. just FYI. Still 0-0.

[ArmenJBX]

Dale Venezuelaaaaaaaaa

That's why I said flashes. By the end of the game, both DPs were fairly neutralized.

Danny K however had that one moment where I jumped out of my seat. That blister of a shot from 20 yards out was something else.

Exactly what I meant when I said that NY was having defensive problems.

fair enough.....I know its early on but I think we will enjoy having frings.... and regret losing Gordon just my opinion......

[T.O TILL I DIE]

Remove Borman From Toronto Fc Please.

[TOBOR !]

interesting that the referee's gear manufactured by a company called PENALTY.

[jloome]

I saw great promise tonight undone by the fact that we have a patchwork first team.

Frings was exceptional, easily the best midfield performance in terms of completeness I've seen from this team since Amado's better days.

Koevermans was OK. He looked unfit and the service was just awful. If Borman could hit the broadside of a barn door with a cross we might've had a goal. He's truly a terrible back. Should never start. Speed player for later in the game to menace from midfield? Sure. But his soccer brain is shit and he should never start.

Sturgis was defensively invisible. Yourrasowsky had the opposite problem, trying to do too much; Viator was OK, couple of coverage fuckups and his crossing wasn't so hot. Iro looked leadfooted for this system but also nervous. Certainly looked more solid that Harden. I just can't understand how two grown men with their pedigree can't see how truly dreadful his positioning and foot speed are.

Defense was generally shit. Iro spent most of the game trying to bark at the other guys to keep shape. I thought he was going to have apoplexy.

Still, stick a fit Koevermans up top, get JDG or Dunfield behind him in the hole, and retool the backline with, perhaps,Eckersely remaining as Iro's central partner (he just reads the game really well, and two central defenders who maintain proper positioning will solve a lot of our problems) and it has prospects.

It wasn't embarassing tonight, more frustrating.

[KRO]

Iro and Harden = Fail
Frings = highest quality player we have ever had

Ecks = very missed today

Yourass = needs to play for some other team!

[v00d00daddy]

I agree with most of whats been said so far although I didn't think harden was as bad as he usually is.

The most irritating TFC player tonight, for me, was plata. Lost the ball on the same 1 v 1 attempt over and over and over.

[Serb_Star]

Penalties! come on Venezuela!

[ag futbol]

Yeah I agree , he over did it challenging the defenders tonight.

It's one thing if you're running at Jonathan Leathers, another if you are taking on a decent back and coming out on the wrong end all the time.
