Impact thread - Saputo n'est pas Briand Edition

[Stanley Cup]

and now Petrasso

and this is when I turn it off. Good night ladies and gents

Martinez's positioning is impressive, the amount of headers he wins because of his reads is astonishing. He's only 5'7, btw.

It's amazing how he wins high balls being smaller than pretty much everyone. And he's very good defensively. He always comes back to help his mids win the ball back.

just a mediocre team, incapable of competing with the elite of the league. it's ridiculous, piatti is alone out there. the shit-show of this week with briand, basically shows saputo couldn't give a f*** if team makes playoffs or not

Man, great game from the boys in the circumstances. They never quit.

But for the love of Christ get us a CF and a quality mid.

 

[Luigi Habs]

We did our best given the circumstances.

Atlanta did not play their best though. They didn’t impress me.

The team was clearly out of energy with so many games played lately. Piette, Krolicki and Lovitz were all terrible. Mancosu as usual as well.

 

[Adam Michaels]

There were flaws, yes. But considering this was their 7th game in 22 days, IMFC did well against the best team in the league. I don't think Atlanta was all that great and Montreal held their own. While I can't say Atlanta didn't deserve to win, I will say IMFC didn't deserve to lose.

I think you're overreacting. The team gave what they could after a huge amount of games in the past month. You can criticize Saputo in many ways, but certainly not that he's a fan of the team and that he wants it to succeed.

I liked what I saw today. There's something good to do with this team.

Upgrades on ST, CM and ideally RB are essential to take the next step.

I like Krolicki but he's not starter material yet. Needs to make better decisions in the last third but potential to be a decent starter is there.

Nice to see the Atlanta fans celebrating with the IMFC fans there.

lack of depth, lack of urgency to secure quality pieces to drive offence. They looked ok for a tired team, but way team started year, they can't be giving up points at home. i still think they're going nowhere without reinforcements

Nobody is saying the team is perfect, if you hang around this thread, you'll see most of us (read here ALL of us ) want improvements at the forward, right winger , defensive midfield and Fullback positions.

Vintage Nacho goal

Silva if we don't acquire anyone: 2G 12A
Silva if we acquire a legit CF but no mid: 4G 16A
Silva if we acquire a legit CF and legit mid: 4G 20A

Vintage Nacho goal

great goal but can't help but think with 3 defenders on him, if he had another finisher, we'd score more

Good news is outside top 4 in the east I don’t think there are any team that’s better than you guys.

As much as I hate them, Toronto is much better than their record. With the injured coming back they should climb more than a few spots in the standings. I think the team, with a few additions, will be good enough to make the playoff.
