Not even anything about the goals. The lack of Vasquez is glaring. Passes are not crisp to a player's path, and not to dangerous areas at all.

Watch out!
The whole league will analyze this "to blood" to see how can be the shit beat out of TFC.
Ben Spencer? Bahhh
No kidding. Why make things worse? Put Hamilton in there.Originally Posted by pdubs
We never were THIS shit with the Limp Act at home, lol...
Idk you add our top three players back in and it is different. Doesn't explain the sloppy play and terrible passing. Altidore, Giovinco and Vazquez all are great at working in tight spaces and dealing with pressure. Our current forward line doesn't tell us that much I think.
And you can tell these guys don't know how to play with each other ... they're all bunching up and getting in each other's way.
Why are we putting so many crosses in the box? And the crossing has been horrible.
Spencer has been the least productive player on our bench. Why was he the first option? Hamilton, Chapman, Edwards have proven more productive then Spencer.
I just don't understand Vanney's like of Spencer. It's my only complaint about Vanney these days. What does Spencer do that Hamilton isn't better at? Hamilton's even been banging them in for TFC II. I truly do not get it at all.
It's not pretty but its a start. Great moves by Osorio.
Goal like their first
Touché
Can't be there or watch or even listen tonight, which is probably a good thing by the sounds of it.
Would Vanney choose to give us a lesson in humility here? Surely not - to have confidence blown at this stage is a horribly dangerous thing.
That said, having hated the schedule at the start of this season, bunching up the Columbus games at the beginning and the Montreal ones at the end, maybe it gives us a precious shot at redemption to play them one last time.
Hang about one moment though, we just might not need it...
I like that the goal was by Owen Goal, he's a peach.
If Vasquez is healthy enough to play 45 may be able to get a point
Would like to see Hasler and Edwards to start the second.
At least we've woken up a bit now.
Ref needs to start calling some shit. That handball in the box would have been big.
Spencer is 6'5". He needs to use his size to cause problems. That last corner he needs to be all other that.
Only thing I can think is that he just wants size. Montreal's CB are pretty big ... maybe he just wants to Spencer in there to bang with them.
I didn't once hear a whistle all half apart from the goals it seems
Osorio is the only player out there playing with any purpose. everyone else looked completely fucking useless. I mentioned before the match that these 3-6-1 lineups that Vanney trots out occasionally are a little suspect. None of our midfielders have any idea where their supposed to be. I'm glad we're playing two up top now but this is something Vanney needs to cut out as a back up option.
I never understood what Vanney sees in Spencer, with so many better reserve payer alternatives (I'm talking about all this season, not only this game).
I have never ever seen any enough MLS quality any time when Spencer has played.
My 2015 fan is back in full force. Vanney is playing too weak a side. Maybe not by choice though. Let's see what adjustments he makes.
The team did not respect the Impact enough and have a hole to dig out of.
At least we're having a game like this now and not in the playoffs.

To have a chance to get today a draw, in the 2nd half all the players in Red on the field need to play the equal to their best to date this season.
And even then maybe won't be enough because of the missing people, unless Montreal has a bad second half.
We need to stay positive. Obviously the performance has been horrible but that goal at the end of the half could swing the momentum in our favour. If Montreal can score 3 in 24 mins then so can we. I wouldn't be surprised to see Vazquez come on soon
Vazquez should come in at the half, set up 3 goals, then walk into Bez's office and demand a bazillion dollar raise.
On a second thought it's almost ridiculous how everything lined up for a huge upset in the 1 st half:
1. TFC trotting out arguably the weakest lineup of the season.
2. Too many guys having their worst or almost worst performance of the season.
3. Montreal playing great, plus being lucky up front.
You gotta be kidding me
