VMP 2016 Final Countdown #7: Steven Beitashour
Duncan: 7 – He’s maybe a bit overpaid, but with how TFC play, the full backs might well be the most important players on the pitch, and Beitashour was alright out there. Not super convincing at either defending or attacking, but he does both of them about as well as can be asked form an MLS level player. The cross to Cheyrou was absolutely perfect as well. After the 2015 season saw the right back position occupied by a...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #10: Will Johnson
Duncan: 11 – A shame about the injury as he’d had a decent first half of the season. By the time he was fit again, lost out in a numbers game as we just have too many similar midfielders, so letting him walk as a free agent kind of makes sense really. Forever a part of club folklore for breaking his leg while scoring the cup winning goal. After the 2015 season, it was obvious that Will Johnson was going to leave Portland...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #13: Eriq Zavaleta
Duncan: 15 – Did a decent job at the back alongside Moor. Unspectacular, generally unmemorable, but those are both good things for defenders. The nifty nephew (don’t call him that though) had himself a decent season really didn’t he? not at first obviously, but as the season wore on and after Perquis had left he got more and more playing time and ended up becoming an ever present alongside Moor and Hagglund in that...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #22: Damien Perquis
Duncan – 19 The French Polish Darren O’Dea. Paid too much, does some good stuff, not good enough to be the guy to pull the whole defence together, but when there’s somebody else to do that, all of a sudden he doesn’t look that bad. After a pretty crap 2015, I was really hoping Bezbatchenko and co would be able to find a way to wonk him out of the squad as well as Ahmed Kantari. Alas they couldn’t, but I...
VMP 2016 Final Countdown #25: Dan Lovitz
Duncan: 26 – I! don’t! care! Dan Lovitz! I don’t care! Dan Lovitz, Dan Lovitz! Thank you Icona Pop for summing up my thoughts on Dan Lovitz this year, ‘Lovitz – the greatest thing’ certainly wasn’t going to do the job. A particularly anonymous and mediocre season for Dan, here’s what I remember. NYCFC picked him up in the draft and then, no wait that was last year, bah. Listening to...
