Same 'old from last year.
No playmakers in midfield + speedy forwards = long balls. I was hoping the new coach would change this a little, but apparently not.
Either way, this team isn't going to be scoring a lot of goals. Mattocks is flakey at best, and nobody else is a proven finisher. The midfield is fairly balanced but not very creative. Could be a long year.
The Whitecaps and the MLS have been frustratingly silent on this whole debacle. I'd think a little more communication is in order when the number one player and lead goal scorer in the league is embarrassingly poached by a random Mexican club. It seems like they're hoping it will all just go away.
I'm closing this one down for the foreseeable future. Please don't create any similar threads.
You guys are getting way too heated about this, and way too much speculation and baseless accusations are being thrown around. Take a step back from fanaticism and media hype.
