Dunfield still has a better player CV than one of Insigne"s ptevious coaches(Sarri). Nobody knows how Dunfield will do as a coach. I have my doubts about him , but to judged him even before he's started is not fair. A lot of people had doubts about Vanney when he came out of TFC Academy to take over the first team. jonovision and Kingston 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Did Manning just appoint Jason Hernandez as GM so he has somebody else to fire when these next moves don't work? nfitz, narduch, kacbru and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't be judging him but a player CV doesn't translate into a coaching CV, either (and his player CV is better than Arsene Wenger's, too). He's strictly an interim guy here but we'll see how things play out for the remainder of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckgbp Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It seems ever since winning MLS cup, injuries have just been brutal and reoccurring. Doesn’t help that the team has trended older I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t help that the team has trended older I guess. Plus relying on older guys coming off of significant injury layoffs. A few posters may have been deceived by the mirage of a few positive results here and there but you could see the train was going off the rails even before they were eliminated from last year's playoffs. Disjointed, individualistic play, no compete level, underachievement: a lesser pedigreed coach would have been sacked after last season's performance and I think this season will be a write-off as well.

I doubt Bernardeschi will be there by the time Bradley returns from injury. The MLS transfer window opens next week. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Watching TSN pregame, Manning is so full of shit its not even funny any more. Hernandez as GM...he is talking like its not just a caretaker position to finish the year...ugghh. Dunfield walking around the field looking like he is going to the firing squad. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 2 big keys for this club going forward are injury prevention and recovery and getting the right DPs...way too many injuries at the same time this year...the most in mls a lot of times and DPs havent been good enough...with well performing DPs (and in the right positions) the crew around that is good enough to at least make playoffs over a full season...for this year though playoffs seem a step too far narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack1997 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Stefanovic and Franklin have to stick around at least for this season they might not be here for long, Ranjitsingh is absolutely horrendous he made a few good saves today but saving that ball that was clearly going wide at the end lost us the game.

Poorly constructed, poor in execution, tough to watch. The silver lining for Insigne's injury is that he could call his agency and press them to get him a move out of town 😉 The play at striker is abysmal. Not sure why Dunners left Kerr on the bench to start because the other three used are not capable of playing there at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turning the page and ignoring what was going on is not the way forward. It's more than just getting rid of the coach. It's changing the curtains, if practice was in the morning, you make it in the afternoon, completely flip the routine, process and habits. Complete and utter reset. You cannot blame the DP's here, the leadership was polluted and arrogant. It's not up to the DP's to fix that regardless of their salaries, they are not management, cheerleaders nor strategists. No one on the team is playing to their potential and expectations (edit: except Laryea - and he knows he's here temporarily). narduch and Kingston 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one on the team is playing to their potential and expectations (edit: except Laryea - and he knows he's here temporarily). I would find a way to part ways with Michael Bradley. You need a clean break from both coach/td and son. I don't necessarily agree with your point about the roles of the DPs. In this league's set up, the better DPs are the tide that rises the rest of the supporting cast boats. I don't get that feeling with these guys at all. Of course, their signing is down to the vetting of management, which I do agree is a 🎶sh*t show 🎶 Laryea has been their best player but to get him permanently (and if he feels that he wants to be here longer term), someone else needs to take a haircut here, so one of those Italian guys is likely to move on. I think Kaye finishes the season with the club because I see no takers for him and his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
