Club Linesman Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Bradley needs to go now. We have arguably 4/5 players who are the best or among the best in their positions in MLS. The results even with the injuries are deplorable. The older players he brought in were shit. They get a new manager and maybe when some of the guys get back they could sneak into the playoffs.

Dominic94 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 This team is so poorly built and he doesn’t trust his depth. Even with the injuries they had more than enough to win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckgbp Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 He is also the Sporting Director. You fire him from both positions? And who do you bring in? They aren’t far off in points from a playoff spot which is still crazy. They really need a couple of those ties to be wins and they would have more of a cushion.

Club Linesman Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Yes both. He’s been useless. Who don’t know but there are hundreds of people who cut off their left arm to manage the talent we have. The zero depth is on him. narduch, Stryker911 and TOcanadafan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t want to rush that. Have a summer transfer window coming up, so if you fire BB now then you would need some kind of plan for that window. Unless they have a shortlist already. Go into that without a GM/SD doesn’t make much sense. Unless Bill Manning takes the reins, who hired Bradley as his guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastPros Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) The "zero depth" is everything. Is it because the young talent wasn't good enough to be developed into supporting roles? If so, where was the backup plan of veteran guys to fill the gaps until youth could take over? Was the youth talent not properly assessed? Were they never good enough? Etc, etc. As I said before, I enjoyed last year's pre-Italian hot mess just because it seemed like it was for a purpose (e.g. developing young, Canadian talent)... but clearly, I was wrong.

An Observer Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 They are really bad. He got rid of his young depth, then brought in more old players to go along with the old players they already have and then never uses subs or rotates the squad until injuries force him to which is largely down to the lack of use of subs or rotating the squad so they are forced to rely on players that have zero confidence as they haven’t played much. What a shit show. But more than that, he has failed to integrate Bernadeschi and Insigne into the squad. They basically play with each other which is something when they are on the other side of the pitch from each other or they frequently run into dead ends or loose the ball. Actually, TFC looks better when they are off the pitch. I don’t know how many times Rutty was standing there open or made runs and Insigne just ignored him. That kills a young players confidence and then the result is he doe stupid things. kacbru, costarg, Corazon and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 28 minutes ago, phresh said: Anyone wanna guess how long JMR's suspension will be? Difficult to say, I'm not sure if they take youth into consideration for these things, or what the rules are regarding coming on to the field after the game is over if you have been tossed from it - they normally fine you if you don't leave the field right away, but JMR actually did that. Also there is the "Chris Penso is an asshole" factor, but I suspect that they probably won't take that into account. Still, not good a good look for the ref to become the focal point for a match and be the source of a post-game fight, I suspect that will be the last time you'll see him ref a TFC game this year if the league has any sense (which probably means that he will officiate their next five matches in a row).

I'm not fully versed on every team in MLS to know their relative standing (plus they play in positions that I don't think any DP spots are used across the league), but compared to what TFC had in those spots in previous years probably just makes it seem as them being so much better in my mind. They're definitely in the top half (top 15 at the least) narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
