With a capable stikeforce, OK, but this one is not capable. Miller needs a partner, and Mattocks just isn't the guy.

Regs with out bit of Euro porn all the older men would die. No way they could play golf with blisters. Manne might be a twenty minute nan I don't know but I do know he can play ball. That's why Baba still manages.

20 minutes does that include the drink at the bar.

Manneh is still learning but of all the young players I am most excited about watching him develop. Mattocks on the other hand even though his play has improved this year more than I thought he was capable of I am most excited to watch him develop into decent trade value.

There is no need to trade Mattocks slowley he will like this city. Trading away all the young guys will hurt you in a long run. In my opinion it's more about splitting time for a team to win. High tempo brings better results. Both Manne an Mattock have it. By adding one Lationo striker will bring the best out of all the strikers. See the way I see it Mattock and Manne share time. Miller and a new guy split the time. Way higher tempo for ninety minutes.

Three one drops two stay. It forces the other team to mark them with three guys. If they don't mark them with three guys chance is two forwards will out play two D. It is a chess game to see where the weak link is.

Mattocks and Hurtado have proven their lack of quality tonight. So if it's that obvious to me, why not to Robinson?

Final score was two two boys. Reason was Hurtado lifted the pace of attack. Forced Utah boys to defend more. It opened up middle of the Park where Caps took over. Latino boys woke up and took it to Utah boys.
Good second half. Hurtado and rest of them rock. Miller was lost out there. Lacks foot skill in close. Good tie away speaks allot about youth wanting to win. Robbo is begining to see who the players are.

I think Hurtado was good off the bench tonight, not sure what everyone else were watching. And what a final strike by Fernandes

Good morning! Last two games the key was taking Teibert off and thanks to that Whitecaps salvaged a point in both games. He is a liability every single game but obviously there is too much pressure to see a Canadian player developed by Whitecaps so no one wants to admit a big mistake.

RL Teibert is nothing more than an NASL player. But thanks to Robbo he still has a job with CAPS. Guys coming off the bench are better than kids on the field. Robbo knows all that. All he try's to do is to get the best out of every one. Teibert should be given fifteen twenty minutes at the end game to close the game down with pace. Manne is not a midfielder. He is an all out striker. All is well team got a point. Bob will make a move or two to get the guys to focus more. What a dam shot.

Base...wow...I agree.

Except, I'm not convinced right now Tiebert deserves 1st team minutes at all. He wilts under pressure.

Now, on the subject of Manneh...he needs to be the featured striker. Mattocks, if any, has become a very good winger, and he played quite well once moved there in favor for Hurtado and his bull-in-china shop routine. Mattocks took players on, beat them, and created off the runs. Mescita (sp) did well to follow that shot, a great nose for the net and skill, but Mattocks is full value for creating it w/ beating his man and that shot. Up till the point he was moved out wide, he was junk.

Miller...everyone sees his heart and his effort, but he looks 34 out there. RF, he'd be a good pick-up for the LFC Masters squad next season, get on it, would yah?

Aye - We'll get right on it.
Our name is Rangers too so it should be a good fit.

Agreed with the comments lately on Tiebert.
Especially with subs like Nigel Rum & Coker on the bench.
That makes no sense to me at all with the guys pining it and Russell getting the minutes he is.
I'm all for promoting Canadian talent but he's not quite there IMHO.

Another great quote for Davie Norman today on the morning show...

TEAM 1040: "...after his incident with the bike rack earlier this season..."
DNJ: "Sure, let's just call it that..."
:D
