Folks, 2012 is a write off. 0-0-9 to start has a way of
doing that.
TFC, for once, made a prudent decision to accept that and
start preparing for next season early.
The way I see it, the idea, popular in some places, that this is all a
panic move to save season tickets renewals couldn't be more the opposite of
what's going on.
No, it's not tweaking.
"Tweaking", depending on how you define that, was at best
going to get us non-embarrassing results after the international break:
"Danny and Ryan, you two go play up top.
Everyone else defend deeper and get the ball up to them quickly so that
we're not playing with fire in our own end. Try and win some second balls in
the opponents end to set up the offense.
Midfield and defense move forward as a unit and don't get
stretched." So far IT'S WORKED!
What's going on now is Paul Mariner has been given the
liberty to make the hard choices, is taking flak for it, and moving towards the
team he wants.
