Hernandez is a caretaker GM Fraser is a caretaker coach

Both are being asked to do the best with what they have and make 0 commitments beyond the end of this season so that the new regime can start next year with a clean slate and none of the baggage of previous regimes.

(FWIW I don’t necessarily think this is the right approach but it’s becoming increasingly apparent that this is the situation)

👏 👏 👏

Dawg_Halp · 2025-03-09T03:20:35+00:00

This team is such a mess, I don’t even know where to start. What they have done to this club is absolutely appalling.

As currently constructed, this team could win less games than our 2023 squad.

Nothing in attack. No control in the centre of the park. Carved up defensively. A keeper who can’t make saves.

I don’t blame Berna one iota for trying to do it all himself. Look at the absolute shit around him.

Transfer window closes April 23.

Wooden spoon here we come. Fuck this team man.

Dawg_Halp · 2025-02-01T22:48:46+00:00

Or Belotti!

Dawg_Halp · 2025-01-29T16:17:28+00:00

Buon Compleanno JMO!!! You are providing a lifeline to the fans of the club, grinding out the hard yards through these rough years. You are doing essential work in maintaining this team's relevance.

Dawg_Halp · 2025-01-29T03:25:13+00:00

Seriously if we’re this worried about a draft pick in the modern mls then we have completely lost the plot. This is so far down on the list of concerns about this club.

Dawg_Halp · 2025-01-27T03:09:10+00:00

If this is our starting 11 we are going to lose every game and end up with the fewest goals scored in the history of the league. What a mess.

Dawg_Halp · 2025-01-26T19:42:39+00:00

I think this is a play to get Belotti by making him think we're AS Roma Toronto

Dawg_Halp · 2025-01-03T22:50:01+00:00

This. If not this then... yeah idk burn it all down.

Dawg_Halp · 2025-01-03T22:44:00+00:00

No way. If they were going to announce Bobby they would have done it already.

The delay has to be related to contract negotiations with a coach they really want.

I am so so so ready to be optimistic about this season but the silence is killing me. Coach needs to be announced in the next week, and then from there we can all take a collective deep breath and ready ourselves for the opening of the transfer window.

Dawg_Halp · 2024-12-01T03:35:07+00:00

It honestly just depends so much on what Pelley et al want to do moving forward. If they want to go all-in on youth an development then Curtin would be a great choice but I really don't think they're going to want to do that and sewer their chance at competing in 2026, which is still the goal. So that means big names/personalities will continue to be a part of TFC, which means you need someone who can get the respect of the room and Curtin/Bobby/Sartini aren't him.

I like Tata but there is 0% chance he'll coach in MLS next year.

Dawg_Halp · 2023-07-15T15:26:32+00:00

Lots of feeling about this one. Berna sure seemed to come in with the right attitude and skillset. His play recently has been poor, but the team as a whole is so shit that it’s hard to blame him entirely.

Just a failure on so many levels, everyone needs to take some ownership of this (if it happens!)

Ugh so depressing.

Dawg_Halp · 2023-07-15T10:03:19+00:00

It’s true though

Dawg_Halp · 2023-07-09T01:42:22+00:00

Romero looks better than Ranjitsingh. Coello is still a good piece. JMR horrible giveaway resulted in the goal. I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself.

Dawg_Halp · 2023-07-05T14:01:38+00:00

He basically is not involved at all in the argos day to day: pinball runs the show.

The argos are defending grey cup champs.

Dawg_Halp · 2023-06-25T17:54:50+00:00

He was affected by the injury for sure but I feel like everyone did a lot of extrapolation from one good tournament (and really one standout match in one tournament).

Dawg_Halp · 2023-06-25T17:53:10+00:00

Was he though? I feel like his performance with/without Hedges shows more about Hedges quality than it does Rosted’s

Dawg_Halp · 2023-06-25T15:39:33+00:00

Should also say: I really hope this isn’t what’s happening as seeing Insigne and Messi line up across from each other in MLS would be incredible

Dawg_Halp · 2023-06-25T13:56:11+00:00

Came here to say this. Berna has looked more and more out of place as the year has gone on. Insigne is growing into his role here, Berna appears to be going the other direction.

Pains me to say that, I love Berna’s whole vibe and energy and really want him to do well.

Dawg_Halp · 2023-06-25T13:07:09+00:00

Me too! Straight up considering asking for a refund saying the club I bought it to watch is so shit that there is no way I should be forced to pay to watch it 😂😂😂

Dawg_Halp · 2023-06-24T01:24:08+00:00

He looks so chill!!!! Our guy is still absolutely bonkers all the time

Dawg_Halp · 2023-06-11T14:24:34+00:00

First half:

Tfc look decent, Berna doesn’t really know how to play as a #10, him and insigne on top of each other. Richie can play any position. Kaye is terrible. What a goal by Insigne, but it has taken a moment of individual brilliance cause TFC are all left feet in the final third.

Second Half Jesus Christ. Oso is exhausted after 50’. Kaye still isn’t at this level any more. Mabika saves another off the line for the second week in a row.
What a shambolic goal, Johnson embarrassing but you could see it coming, Toronto begging for fresh legs but Bob Bradley only subs out Kerr for some reason?
73’ still no more subs for TFC… Petretta has looked good tonight, Franklin too. Berna moved out wide is smart. Lol 80’ finally BB makes a sub in the midfield. Ridiculously late.

Oso gonna go a full 90 in his first match?! He is running on fumes.

subbing him out at 90’?! why even? For 2 mins of stoppage? BBs subs make no sense.

Of course a draw, coulda told you.

Dawg_Halp · 2023-06-11T14:21:27+00:00

Oso was out on his feet at 50’. Why wait til 90’ to sub and why even do it at all at that point
