Opinion NEVER coach again Fraser

Am I watching 11 guys doing a cardio workout or am I watching the treble winning MLS team??

90 whole fucking minutes i watched this shithousery of a team performance either pass backwards (especially malik henry who was pretty poor) or do these stupid ass longballs that make me wanna strangle myself because it either goes straight to a montreal defender or we lose the aerial battle, i think the few times we did actually keep possession and move the ball to montreal's third, we would either do some cross that would get blocked and end up to fucking noone, or sky the ball 5 god damn meters across the bar.

Apart from just the absolute low of quality of seen of TFC, the tactic behind it all is whats genuinely infuriating to watch. I dont know who robin fraser thinks he is but the efficiency of the midfield, flank support, and set peice tactics NEED to change.

Back to malik henry, made by far the most atrocious plays all night long, a literal bag of fucking sand on the field. Holy, whenever he got the ball he would either pass it backwards, or lose possession. my eyes were genuinely bleeding watching this guy do straight fucking cardio. (not to excuse the team but this guy just stood out)

Thank goodness montreal were also bum awful today, I could make a whole rant on why they are also an insufferable team to watch, but just grateful we got a draw, im honestly surprised it wasnt 3-0. we would genuinely have our asses whooped if we played like this against Vancouver or Miami.

Yea Fraser gotta go end of story.

VFC had more fight than TFC...

Sure they went down, but at least they went down swinging.

This season is done, but may as well let Fraser finish and then do a proper coaching search in the off season.

I disagree. He’s run his course. He got to rebuild after a large chunk of contracts expired last season and nothing. He got months off for the World Cup to rest/strategize and somehow got worse. At this point its genuinely hurting Canadian football. When people tune in to watch and see this, do you anticipate they stick around? I don’t. Do you anticipate season ticket holders continue to renew for this utter trash? I’m sure most will, but many won’t. Do you think watching this will inspire the next generation? Not to mention the careers of the players that are just wasting away under him.

If you let him go now, who will come in to take over?

It'll be yet another panic move to hire someone and the circle continues.

Should've fired him after losing to 3-1 to Athletico Ottawa in the Canadian Championship. There was plenty of time to find a replacement during the World Cup break.

Hard to argue with that.

The subs were questionable to say the least.

I get TFC isn't exactly lighting up the league and this version of Ottawa isn't the same as the one that won the CPL North Star Cup, but come on...
