I can agree to disagree, of course.
And kudos to you for breaking it down, though I don't really think Hart's 'record' is that much better.
Look, I'm not saying Mitchell is the answer. But making a change now does nothing.
With the exception of the debacle in Montreal, Canada still applied pressure to finish out the game (didn't see the end of the Mexico game last night but from what I've heard/read, chances were there).
Does anyone remember how frustrating it was to watch Gerba/Occean play up front in the Gold Cup? They couldn't hold up a ball played to them at all and their first touch was shocking. There is a wikipedia article on this, check it out sometime: Black hole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If Mitchell has them start that way, why isn't it being recognized more? Seriously, think about what the inference is. So far, in all 3 games played, Canada has either been winning 1-0 or tied 0-0 at the 60 minute mark. Each single game has changed at this point with opposition goals. At that point, players tend to start to 'panic' and because of the lack of depth, long-ball is going to win out.From what I remember watching, Hart had them playing the ball around on the floor, attacking and using the short passing midfield that Yallop could never get them to do. Often times these days Mitchell has them start this way, but they end up playing kick and run by the 60th minute.
