I am shocked at how cowardly we played. I honestly thought Vieira would come out tonight and try to win the tie here. We were never going to keep a clean sheet at home so it was really important to at least get a goal. Pirlo was such a massive loss.
Shame really that he didn't put out a more positive lineup, also this game seems more suited to Tommy Mac then Mendoza. Now we need to win by 3 not easy but doable, I honestly don't like our chances but I'll be there on Sunday and barring us getting blown out I'll be enjoying it. I am excited about finally seeing Johanson and he's obviously superior to Saunders.
The exciting part of all this is that next season we should be even better than this year. Villa's coming back and Lamps and Pirlo should be gone and we'll have more players that suit the system that Vieira wants us to play. Plus looks like we've already had the better GK that this team needs and that is a huge plus.
Tonight was a definite head scratcher. How do you start a midfield of Bravo-Lopez-Iraola and expect something positive to come of it? Has T-Mac run out of gas? I know this has been asked countless times by numerous supporters, but has Mix fallen so far down the list he can't break into that midfield lineup? And with away goals in play, why pull Villa?
Mix is basically Mikey Lopez but way more expensive , he's gone after this season and I agree that I was surprised Tommy Mac didn't get into the game . TFC played physical and Tommy Mac is better in that style of game then mendoza or Harrison . The teams got the week to figure it out so hopefully they'll put on a good show offensively on Sunday cause we need 3 goals right continue our season .
