Every manager has his blind spots with certain players. For Neville it’s his Canadian internationals. He still thinks they are the player they were from his time with the national team. Not who they are today. #rctid

I said it a week ago and maintain this tonight: Phil not going for it against Queretaro was a huge tactical mistake. In such a tight tournament, GD really matters and Timbers left a lot of goals on the table last Saturday. #rctid

At the very least it messes with the other teams heads when you bring on a “specialist”. Crepau also should have totally refused to do the penos with the laser pointer.

Follow up: I went and looked it up. Crepau has saved a total of 5 penalties in his entire professional career for both club and country and given up 30. Pantemis has saved 4 and given up 5. #rctid

Not going for it against Queratero is going to bite Neville.

Why not? That’s a strange statement. Also sub Pants of Guerra. Easy.

Guarantee he took a peno cause he raised his hand. Fancies himself the squad leader (he isn’t). Neville has a soft (blind?) spot for him.

Long past time. He’s been objectively shit this entire season.

The America penos were very good but part of being a keeper is mind games. Getting in their head. Making things hard. Trust me, I know this well. He has zero presence, they didn’t care/think about him. Why not sub Pants in? Get in their heads a bit.

It’s not cause he missed the peno (but it didn’t help) but I’m supremely tired of Kamal Miller’s nonsense. He’s completely over rated, and lives on a resume due to playing for Canada once. There’s better defenders on T2. #rctid

Crapo is really bad at penos. No confidence. Commits too early. America took their chances well to be fair but for a big dude he has zero presence. #rctid

Why wasn’t the keeper who’s saved 4 penalties this season subbed in? #rctid

Coward CONCACAF ref waited so long to addrsss the chants cause they didn’t want to feel wrath of fans. Didn’t stop him from slinging two BS yellows tho. #rctid

I fear the Timbers midfield is about to be cut through like hot butter.

Lacks Ayala. 😬

What about Ayala? Did we miss an injury?

If Santi was smart he would be in this game instead of Lassiter and he would ball the hell out against the biggest club in North America and crate a bidding war. #rctid

What's this "both sides" nonsense headline? Trump and Republicans are attempting an unprecedented mid-decade outrageous gerrymander in Texas and Democrats are responding. No Texas nonsense by Trump, there would be nothing from California.

Exciting day to be a Timbers fan. Gotta say the lack of any noise made me very nervous but credit to Ned and FI both these signing are very promising. I could see the Timbers roll out in something like this: #rctid

Ortiz ain’t it. Chara will retire soon. Paredes is what he is. I see this as a significant upside signing.

Jao Ortiz is by far one of the worst “big” signings by the Timbers in past decade. It’s hard to overstate how bad he is. Like objectively he’s not even at T2 level. Maybe ULS2? #rctid

It’s become clear the fundamental problem with Jan Ortiz’s game is he’s slow AF. That’s not gonna get better with time. #rctid

This is an absurd lineup from Neville given opposition. Playing Erik Miller as a wingback? I know he’s not serious.

Thus is a ridiculous lineup from Neville. Not serious.

Erik Miller as a wingback ala Mosquera in this lineup is ridiculous. Come on. There has to be a T2 kid who can actually get behind. #rctid
