3. Frank De Boers strategy without Barco in the lineup continues to be boredom-and-hope-for-Josef-magic


We were pretty awful without Almiron in 2017 and 2018.

Josef is 6 games away from equaling the world record for consecutive games with a goal.

Which doesn't bode well IMO for when we likely sell Barco in January.

Unless we bring in someone better than Pity, which shouldn't be that hard.

I think we're going to have a lot of new faces next season.

We can protect up to 12 players for the expansion draft. I assume certain players will be exempt (homegrowns, etc.)

So since the game is on a shitty network I don’t get the game, but please don’t tell me that De Boer just destroyed our King.

Pity actually did it. Knocked the hell out of Josef and Josef had his foot trapped under him when he fell. Looked pretty nasty.

And we clinched a home match in the playoffs. Guaranteed at least 3rd place.

I actually think Hyndeman can step in and fill the gap if Josef is out for awhile. Nuts...I know, but he never got his chance at Fulham...could have made a difference.

What do you mean by "fill in the gap"? Pick up the slack? Maybe, but Hyndman isn't going to play striker.

I think Vazquez is going to have to start on Wednesday.

Parkhurst just announced that he's retiring at the end of the season.

Looks like Josef didn't tear anything. Hurt both his knee and ankle. It's possible that he can return for the playoffs.

Barco will miss the NYC game, but they plan to have him back for Montreal.

De Boer’s favorite step-son, Brandon Vazquez, contributes zip zilch nada on the pitch if he doesn’t have the ball at his feet.

I've heared Nagbe has put his house on the market couple that with his supposed interest in leaving before this season and I suspect he will not be back next year.
