75' and 76' franklin sharp in for etienne spicer
Well shit.
moore does it...1-0 for nashville 81'
That feels an unlucky way to go down a goal.
Looks like Franklin lost his man at the far post. Would Spicer have suffered the same issue?
Ugh. So close to a result. This is where we really need Insigne to do something.
Mabika probably shouldn’t have been chasing out that far. Needed him in the middle there.
A yellow for the foul but not a free kick? Weird decision.
Sharp is a battler, no doubt.
Lots to go around on that goal
Gavran trying to make that save from 2 feel inside his own net.....
Mabika ball watching
Franklin not following his man
Rosted did well to harras Zimmerman but when he wants a header, he gets it
……And there's the annoying loss and any good efforts from the evening get us squat in the end.
…..yes, I expected nothing from this game for all the obvious reasons, but to basically watch them bungle a goal into the net in the last 10 minutes is just such a frustrating way to get nothing from this game - I predicted a 2-0 or 3-0 loss before the game but the sad part is they had a chance to ugly their way to a 0-0 game and just couldn’t get there.
no one - including me - saw this team with 19 points at this stage of the season so in the big scheme of things this is a very small annoyance….
Ridiculous.
That whole breakdown happened because Flores directed the ball to be cycled back when it didn't need to be, with a minute left in regulation, and us on the front foot.
Fuck me.
FFFFukin crap
boyd to bunbury and the subs put it to bed...2-0...6th career goal for bunbury on tfc...it was always gonna be him
Wonder if we will ever see how that play started....
But Mabika gave up on that one - he let that ball go past him without trying to stop the pass
The result sucks, but the effort was outstanding. They just had way more depth.
2-0 final score
Good effort, two late fuckups. Bah. On to Montreal.
Nuts. It was a good effort but we let our guard down ever so slightly in a few key moments and that’s all it took.
This team still needs something though. Be it a higher quality AM to play in the hole or a striker up top. Goals just feel a little too hard to come by.
Forget the result, all things considered with the injuries and suspensions and with our bench depth, that was a brilliant away performance. Way exceeded expectations going in.
I am pretty much done with Mabika now - I see him working well when things are easy and in front of him but he switches off
AND...he could have stopped that second goal - watch it again as he actually goes to jump on that pass then decides "oh I can't make it so I'll just hope my keeper stops this". No, dude, that's your job at that point to dive in and block that.
I was looking for a $14 million dollar player and couldn't tell with the $100,000 player was any different than the big star. Kosi looks to be a waste of space to me. The ball is a hot potato and scared to keep. Kobe has the same restraints on him so the 2 never advance the ball to danger places always momentum killers. Gomis should be green lighted to create from the back.
I thought Thompson was really good tonight. He advanced the ball, he found space between lines, he defended well.
Franklin defended poorly on the Moore goal and the Bunbury goal was laughably bad on Mabika.
Insigne was invisible. Just doesn't have the athleticism or fire; but he is coming back from a long layoff so maybe that's unfair.
Sharp worked really hard. Spicer was really good.
There were lots of upsides, we just didn't lock it down.
Didn’t see the match but from the comments here it sounds like a good effort. Liked the lineup, more or less.
+1… it is unreal to see that at this level. This is stuff that gets you cut from high school teams.Originally Posted by OgtheDim
Seeing that just made me mad about MacNaughton, all over again.

He is 100% on my do not renew contract for next season. We can and should do better.
Hard to argue with the Mabika sentiment. It's also hard not to remember that absolute catastrophe last season from him. He just seems to completely give up at times. I've never seen it to that extent before. He just...stops.
Yeah, totally agree. He’s the physically gifted guy who is too lazy to try. Some of the stuff he does is unreal but as a CB your ability to avoid the worst moment is more important than your ability to produce exceptional ones.
When a player makes $15M+ a season and has the production of a sub-TAM level player over the better part of 2 seasons then the criticism is deserved.
He should 100% be the summer buyout. Or else we have the highest paid sub in MLS history here because he can't stay healthy if he starts and is useless as a sub.
What would that be, $45M?
You think Manning lasted this long doing things like that? It'll snow in the Mojave Desert in July before Manning does that.
Even his replacement wouldn’t do it, no matter how “justified”. Nobody is taking that to their board. Nobody.
