Get in, great effort!

[VinceA]

THE WRIGHT STUFF

[dyslexic nam]

Well, a little bit if a lucky deflection to put it in a position where can one it on net.   Now, can we build on this and be solid in defence? 

[trc2014]

Why were the 3 other Canadian players just standing outside the box watching?  It’s wild

York United representin’

Well one was levelled from behind that made me wonder if penalty would have been called if not for the goal

[Lurker]

Nice!  I was just yelling at this guy a few weeks ago at the Wanderers Grounds (hoping he wouldn’t score haha).  Great work on that one, big physical guy, nice finish.

[toontownman]

WHY did he pass!

 

[trc2014]

Is it just me or does Franklin seem to not want anything to do with the ball?

[narduch]

Great save by Alexander on the Fk

He also just stood outside the box wide open on the goal, it was odd.

Speaking of Wheeler at least he is interesting compared to the guy doing this game. Bland 

[VinceA]

What formation are we playing?

[toontownman]

They are carving through us like butter!

I've always got time for a bit of 'Saftey first' belt it into the stand. This feels very David vs Goliath though so far.

The "get the f****** ball out" one.

But a kind of 4-3-3 I think although the wingers are often deep and 3 in the middle seems fluid lol

The one opponent where the Latino ref likes Canada more.

I said it looks like a 352. With where Franklin and Poku are positioned.

Hard not to wet your short as a Montreal fan when you look at Ferdinand

I was thinking otherwise.

He looks…outta shape(gassed)? 
Or maybe it’s he really playing a RCB and not expected to get forward .

Yeah, Ferdinand has looked great.  Franklin has looked terrible.

[VinceA]

Both Fullbacks being unwilling to bomb forward on counter attacks is driving me nuts. They pass the halfway line and then slow down.

[Shway]

Smith is a gem.

His touch on the ball has been amazing.

 

Won't look at the positioning in a system in Internacional duty.
