Yeah I'm going to blame Courtois for tonight's loss. Sort of.
Choiniere and Lassiter were dogshit all game. There was no reason to keep them on past the 60th minute when we had other options.
Unless Pearce was taken off for energy levels, that was a bad sub. You bring Edwards on (left foot fine) and have Lassiter (left foot) stay on as a right back as well since you took off Bugaj. You also have Opoku and Yankov play their off sides so they can cut in, which almost never works out.
There was also no reason to use a defensive sub on Sosa knowing you're likely going to a back two anyways being down one.
Also, Duke played well, despite having a couple of chances he should have buried. Again, no reason to sub him off.
Plus, we probably could have used our best and most consistent player this year in Martinez.
He's a veteran. He may or may not even be here by the next time Montreal plays since why the hell would he want to be here given the shit show. Figure it the f*** out. This screams to me young coach trying to maintain authority because the leadership in the locker room isn't there.
We saw that happen last year. Well see where this goes.
