Toronto FC 2-3 Spurs - Mauricio's verdict

[ginola007]

In fairness to him, he's come to a new County played football under three different managers using three different systems.

I watched the entire ninety minutes last night and could not remember a single cross coming into the box from either byline (please correct me if i am wrong). I did not see a single pacey run down either sideline either?

I did see Poch shouting his head off though for Lennon and Townsend to do as much. Early days i know but i did feel that everything went very narrow, and through the middle last night. This does not bode well for either Soldado, Kane or Ade but could just be a system that Poch wanted to try as a one off?

There were crosses from Rose and Hotby in the second half, but they sailed over everyone in every case.

Whilst I do agree that bringing in an experienced CB would and could probably help a whole heck of a bunch if we get rid of daws...
I can't think of any that would be readily available without splurging on a CB and I don't think we "Need" to do that.. If Jan comes back with a clear head. And Kaboul doesn't break * please don't kaboom I have defended you so much I would look like a jackass if you just broke again *
And chirches as a solid CB
And velk whilst still almost an unknown in terms of how he would fair is decent enough as a 4th over daws. As shown by these last two games.. And daws is prem quality probably around mid table. So I think we have a very good player coming up in velk he looked crazy solid next to Kaboul...
The question is do we need a 5th ? Or as you put a more experienced 4th as fighting on all fronts we may need to use the 4th quite a bit. Honestly I am torn
I would love to give it to velk and say we are done. But the other part agrees thinking we will need backup

problem is Verts and Chiriches are ball playing Center Backs and needs a solid reliable Center Back to play along side them. Would definitely not play them together as I think both are often out of position and lack concentration.

Could just imagine it now
Look at this jan and chiriches are playing 1-2s up the pitch to each other... They are on the edge of the box oh dear been dispossessed and the ball has been launched into the vacant space left by those two marauding up the pitch and they are down 3-0 by identicale play
