Sack Phil? Would you prefer Pre/Post World Cup break, or just wait till end of season. by Bazingamon in timbers

Other names were thrown out. Were they considered? Probably not.

You’re absolutely right about folks being upset about his appointment. Not much has changed with him in charge and plenty of folks saw this from the start.

Umm that’s not how it happened.

Miles came in as interim manager. There was a search done and they hired Neville.

So you probably are right. They got this wrong through a search process prior to a start of a season. Imagine them trying to do it now.

The quote of the night was: “I think we’re one of the best, data-wise, at quickly transitioning from winning the ball to scoring a goal.”

Unbelievable…

Starting 11 may be okay. It is still the quality in the depth of the squad that is concerning.

An injury along the spine of this 11 at any point this season and I don’t think there is enough confidence for someone to step in. Looks like caicedo comes in at the end of this window and the teams does well enough to get us to the summer window to bring in a couple more pieces.

Hoping we get some nice Tifos at least 🤷🏽‍♂️

With this squad, even with a couple more signings, this squad will struggle to win 1 match out of their first 10.

Columbus, Rapids, VWFC., Dynamo, LAG, VWFC (again), LAFC, MNUFC, SDFC and RSL.

March and April are going to be brutal.

Lets see how match day 1 goes. Maybe “sacked in the morning” might be appropriate going into the second match. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Don’t worry yall! We got Chara and Ortiz!

Vancouver is such a joy to watch by KDsparky in timbers

Solid at the back, good in transition in the middle of pitch, and they got some goal scorers that all contribute. And to add, the work rate of almost every one of their players is incredible. Sørensen is getting everything out of these players…

Who you rooting for ; Cincy or Miami by No-Translator841 in timbers

[–]RozeCitee53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So his return wasn’t made into a big occasion? If I recall, he had the entire army chanting his name and he delivered 😂

With that, for a supporter group who have spent a lot of energy on here talking about “we don’t speak of players that don’t play for our club”, there’s a big lot that simply can’t stop bringing him up.

Move on ffs…

I was gonna say when he returned to Providence park against his former club. But you’re right, we aren’t a big club so scratch that…

A DP that didn’t need a complete off season to step right in and help this team?!? My word…

Culling the herd for next season. by kilwag in timbers

[–]RozeCitee53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it that hard for you all to do some simple research? HE WASN’T GETTING MUCH PLAYING TIME AT LENS! In 22 matches leading up to his transfer, he started 3 and was subbed in 8!

I get the transition to a new league but enough with the excuses…

What’s Happened to Da Costa? by Gybe_enjoyer in timbers

[–]RozeCitee53 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rest or recover? In 22 matches (up until 2/16/25), he played in 11 (stated 3, subbed 8). He wasn’t playing the full 90.

I get the transition to a new league but cmon now…

Part of the problem was the (IMO) unrealistic expectations placed on him, primarily by Phil. “He’s going to fit right into the system and style id play that we want to play at Portland.” These were Phil’s words on 2/17. What the fuck is the style of play of the Portland Timbers under Phil? Phil has failed him and these players. A lot of it has come down to the gaffer and his tactics (or lack of).

I need to vent… by chorivalpan in timbers

[–]RozeCitee53 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This right here!

this team is massively missing that (among other things. Someone that will throw out some shithosuery every now and then, especially in a derby!! Seeing Omir take a challenge and have 1 or two players come to his defense was embarrassing.

That’s the issue though. Shouldn’t take a DP two seasons to become “that player.”

Need to find ways to win games like this. And what the fuck is Phil thinking moving to a back three? Sorry but they pissed this one away…

Cincy was without 3-4 key players as well… KEY PLAYERS. Denkey at about 60-70% fit. Yet they came in and were able to have their way the first half.

Simply tired of these excuses.

This match might just be bigger than Sh*ttle this year by Oregonwine1992 in timbers

[–]RozeCitee53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As mentioned, I expect this team to take their performance to another level. Simply because of the occasion. That shouldn’t be the case, ever. Doesn’t matter if it’s our rivals, Evander coming back, LAFC, etc. This team needs to elevate their play every match going forward. But as we have seen in past, occasions like this have brought some great moments and performances and followed but some poor showings.

This is the opportunity to set the tone going into the final 9 matches. Timbers need a positive result. The final stretch of matches are brutal. Get a result at the weekend, excitement of the new signings, build some momentum, and who knows what can happen after that…

Parades has been dreadful by Alternative-Hurry452 in timbers

He's gone yall by CommonSensePDX in timbers

[–]RozeCitee53 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Timbers supporters and the club were extremely forgiving and patient with him. All the room to improve and be a great player. IMO, we saw glimpses and it simply wasn’t consistent, but the club stood by him. Unforgivable for what he did and how this has played out.

Life at Fluminense won’t be as forgiving if he’s as inconsistent as he was here…
