Unfortunately we have no one other than Donadel who can play DM, and it shows in the 2nd half.

Williams isn't looking too shabby at all. Meanwhile Alexander isn't playing like someone who should be fighting for a starting role.

Fisher is in.

Yeah ambroise sans cheveux is weird. Didn't watch the first half but I find Toia a bit shaky right now. Romario is doing good things, but I'm not sure where he'll fit. Backup winger? JGL made some nice passes. Bernier and Bekker invisible so far.

Oyongo's channeling his Camara

Camara - Ciman - ? - Oyongo

that bald back line

1-0 NYCFC deflected off fisher

Toia might lose his spot to Camara if he continues to play like this.

2nd half lineup is not good though. JGL is not comfortable as a RM at all.

Very unimpressed by "Louis" Béland-Goyette and JGL. Who was that guy that came in for AJH? Nothing special either.

We sure got decent depth at defense and everything offense. Like others said, weakest link remains at DM. Donadel is fine, but he will definitely be supposed for yellow card accumulation a few times. Bernier is good as well, but I don't see him playing a full game very often.

We have a crazy logjam at the striker position. After Drogba, we have Porter, Salazar, Williams, AJH and that AJH substitute.

The depth at the backline is golden. Lefevre has this fighter attitude that I love, he will definitely see playtime with an eventual callup for Ciman for the Euro this summer. Tissot is great insurance, as well as Camara.

AJH substitute was Verso, he's a midfielder. Yeah he had some rough minutes, same with LBG and JGL.

AJH is good in aerial duels and is dangerous in the box, but outside of this he has limited technique. I don't see him other than a late sub when desperately needing a goal.

Was mostly disappointed with Alexander and Bekker, those guys brought absolutely nothing. Especially for Alexander who should be fighting for a starting spot.

Idk how is Bekker still in MLS.

Useless players wasting space/salary : Bekker, Mallace, Venegas (slowly getting there, I hope he proves me wrong), AJH, Alexander, Tissot (improving tho), Kronberg (he is good but we have Crepeau).... but we'll keep all of them haha it's how we are.


Put back Toia at LB ffs, he looked so out of position at RB, same for Oyongo on the LB. Never realized that Oyongo is very average defensively, he'll have to work on that.

Very Impressed by Salazar. Only saw a few glimpses as I had it on split screen while studying, but definitely interesting.

Oyongo shaved his hair. I miss his yellow head. He looks like Nyassi now

Shipp really looks like he would do a great job in the future castings of The Hobbit

Whoever came up with the idea to switch out Toia and Oyongo should be slapped behind the head, even if it's Biello. They're BOTH having brutal camps, Oyongo can't use his left foot to full use and Toia looks lost in his marking.

Totally agree... why mess with what worked last season? I'm hoping he is just giving them playing time in each position to familiarize in case!
