Very good point, he ran Chicha out there over Macheda, why not out Smalling out there. Bobby Z was a problem for them yesterday.

unbeaten streak at home ended on Saturday, NY rung us up 4-1.

Not that it felt so lopsided, I mean Toronto was absolutely dominant with near misses and great saves keeping them off the sheet for the first half. The OG near the end of the half was killer.

We got back in 2-1 early in the 2nd, but a so-so red card and penalty put an end to that hope.

On the bright side, it was one of the most skilled matches I've seen from the MLS yet. With De Ro, Mista, Angel, Henry, Marquez......there was more than your usual amount of skill on the pitch and it clearly showed. Sometimes MLS games can be quite drab and have far too many mistakes but this one was much more crisp and enjoyable to watch despite the drubbing on the scoreboard.

Drops us just out of playoff contention to boot, 10 games to go it's going to be a tough stretch between MLS and CCL.

Hopefully we get a W in Panama tomorrow to put us in great position to get through early on in the stage.

^^ Rafa's goal was insane.

If MLS can start getting players/matches/goals like that then their pedigree will start to grow across the globe.

You would've been up in our ass either way, now it'll just be bloodier.

Maybe Man City will buy him, they're really short on defensive midfielders...

what is Liverpool to do without their unskilled hack.

Him and Gattuso should go get hitched. I've never seen an ounce of skill from either of these hacks. (And I'm a Milan fan).

LOL Liverpool

Gerrard had that shot at the end of the first half, but he wasn't Paul Scholes enough to score.

[Archer]

He is on his way to Barca

I think getting a defensive mid to replace Yaya Toure so Kieta doesn't have to play 40+ games was more important than signing Cesc to backup Iniesta and Xavi for them anyways

God the scousers looked bad tonight...

[Cody]

I love the EPL.

[f16harm]

Holy crap, Liverpool looks terrible. And if they sell Mascherano and Kuyt, they are going to get even worse. Particularly if Torres doesn't get his form back. Liverpool also has no bench.

I could honestly see this team finishing mid-table this year.

[BigHouseUSA]

Davie is creaming himself right now. No Paul Scholes though.
