Why an attacking formation, on the road, with 2 hour time change, against a team lead by Schweinstager, with 2/4 of your starting fullbacks missing? Robo is clueless to tactics. 4-5-1, plug the middle, take away their forward movement, muck it up.
Great long post, but sometimes it's ok to look at what is in front of you, available to you, and adjust tactics.
Watson at the back has been a fearsome beast. Williams has been a revelation at RB with excellent defense and great timing going forward. Up against time change and a great, high scoring team on the road. Adjust the game day responsibilities to give your undermanned squad a chance.
We've all been there done that and had success doing so. Part of being an intelligent footballer is knowing how to adjust your game and responsibilities with the intention of getting a result.
Definitely agree on all counts there.
You won't say it, I will: falls on the manager.
There are a lot of reasons I'd like to see a change. Too many to thumbtuoenon my iPhone.....
You've identified some, but basically, this trip was a clear indication to me he's way out of his depth.
Thought the league really dropped the ball yesterday. Would have been an event to host Toronto on Canada day for number 150
It would have made more sense for either Toronto or Montreal host another Canadian team, as they get better crowds than Vancouver.
But, I agree, they slipped up on not having 2 Canadian teams playing each other on Canada's 150th. Birthday.
the way that game progressed, it's almost as if Schweinstager is miles above anyone else on either team...
Many years ago New York Cosmos signed a German player named Franz Beckenbauer, he wasn't a bad player, but played as a sweeper. One of the Cosmos Directors asked why he didn't score many goals for the price they paid for him.the way that game progressed, it's almost as if Schweinstager is miles above anyone else on either team...
Agree. Watch Toronto play and see how Bradley pulls the strings. He's on everything. We don't have that player.When I look at Chicagos roster I see 4-6 players better then any WhiteCap player. Bastian, De Leeuw, McCarthy, nicolic. They actually play small ball with confidence. The caps are garbage, no composure, every 2nd or 3rd pass is a long hopeful ball. Sure Robbo can improve with the tactics but we need better players. We are fixated on South America, every guy I've seen is OK at best. Get some fcuking cornerstones of the franchise. Where is the talent, who pulls the strings?
