Really bizarre to sub out Cornelius. He had a terrible first two minutes, but he is not THE problem on this team after getting a start in God knows how long. 

He is worried about the result because of his job and he thinks this will stop the bleeding.  It didn’t.

At least this will accelerate Biello's departure

Someone should have made clear to him he has no chance at the permanent job.

I dunno. Think a bit is about us making absolutely brutal mistakes. We had multiple chances to clear our lines and failed. 

I mean yeah, but that's about not being able to keep up with Japan because they are so in-sync and in form. At least that's my read on it. We do need to sharpen up though for sure. Can't use the excuse for being inactive in the 2nd half. They need to get up to speed. 

[canuckgbp]

Oh Vitoria. Like running on sand. 

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Playing out of the back is great when you have players who can actually do it 🤦🏼‍♂️

[JAVIERF]

phonzie Davies is an amateur player? 

Koné is awful,  the only one that had a good range of passes has been Piette ,  

[JAVIERF]

Why not a back 4 ?

It's the 49th minute. This is all about Japan being confident, clinical and on fire.

Japan is clearly an in-form team but our compete level is shocking, not to mention the amount of careless mistakes. Most managers would have made a handful of changes in an actual competitive match. This is a friendly.

And I agree with that.

We're waiting on the Argentinian or Uruguayan coach to make us play that way. 

[Obinna]

Don't mind that from Johnston. Got to try and change something at this rate. 

[Corazon]

Toronto FC has been preparing me for this performance and result all season.

[JAVIERF]

An Argentine coach is lurking after this demolition

 

Streetwise S T R  E E T. WISE football lads !!!

Some youngins here won't remember the days when we didn't have name bars on the back of the shirts.

Now that you bring that up. Great cost cutting measure to balance the books. 

[Obinna]

Man I dunno about you guys but Piette has been pretty good for me. 

[DeRo_Is_King]

This is better. Decent spell of possession. 

[Obinna]

We've had good spells in this game. Just need to capitalize. 

[Obinna]

Like these subs boys. Let's see what Paton and Choniere can do.

Yeah aside from that failed clearance on the first goal he’s played his role well.
