Life's busy, ain't it? Rather than go into a full match report about Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Impact, I figured I'd just give some quick thoughts since I'm already two days late. Here we go...
- We were much, much better than the Impact. We outshot them 16-3 and hit the post at least three times. I would love to see a possession statistic from the match. I'd bet it was around 65%-35%. That's almost a worrying stat though, because we only scored once. Montréal could have easily nicked a late goal and came away with the point due to our poor finishing. The fact that we hit the post at least three times makes our finishing at least a little better in my eyes, but we have to put them in.
- I think Rocco Placentino's goal was onside. The play was right in front of me and I was pretty surprised to see the linesman's flag in the air.
- Stefan Frei needs to get in front of shots that are going RIGHT at him. See a replay of Placentino's non-goal or Chris Pontius' goal for DC United last Saturday if you want to see what I mean. They weren't exactly stunning strikes.
- Starting Marvell Wynne at the right wing position in a 4-3-3 is a bold move, but something I liked. With Nana Attakora in good form, we can afford to move Wynne up and let him run at guys. He'll scare the sh!te out of anyone running with him one-on-one. It's too bad he went off hurt.
- The best play of the night was DeRo shushing Rocco Placentino after the former decided to shush the Toronto crowd after scoring an offside goal (and we thought Cunningham's celebration after his offside goal against the Caps last year was bad...). How much does DeRo love playing in his hometown? Enough to jog 75 meters to mock some no-name French guy.
- I lied about the best play of the night. It was Chad Barrett's goal. Was that the best goal we've ever scored in open play? Probably. He went and bowed to the Montréal supporters - kinda like saying, "for the first time in paying to see the Impact play, you've got your money's worth." Unfortunately for him, he botched one of the best chances he'll ever get later on in the match.
- The "USL 4EVR" banner was awesome. Some Impact fans probably appreciated it though, because I've seen a few talk about how it's actually better to be in the USL than MLS. Right...
- With this win, we are now unbeaten in six in all competitions. 4-0-2 (CHV W, KCW W, CLB T, VAN W, DCU T, MON W).
