It’s Timbers Time and in this week’s episode we break down the last minute chaos in the 2-1 loss to Austin as the Timbers pull the game back from the brink near the end and then throw it away again in comic fashion, but how much can we learn from this game with key players absent? Was it right to sell Kelsy for that big pile of cash? And are we getting enough defense from our 8s? We look at the numbers and do some analysis…  RCTID!

This episode's key talking points include:

• Kevin Kelsy departs for Europe! We rate the sale as our young striker moves to Glasgow for big money

• Austin had the worst away record in the MLS, how did we not see this was a trap game?

• What was Marti trying to achieve by tucking Caicedo into the back 5?

• The lack accuracy of the game day information on mlssocer.com is embarrassing for the league

• Eric Miller’s on ball limitations were painfully felt in attempting to build out from the back and Marti was notably concerned about his right back position in his presser…

• Why we need another striker but this isn’t the game to judge Gage Guerra on

• Do we have the personnel to play out of the back? Will Marti pursue a slow build up or pragmatically shift to more direct play like he did in the second half due to the squad makeup?

• We’re loving the new Fory chant, and need more player specific songs

• The first Austin goal was very nicely done but went wrong in the Portland defense?

• Despite an overall sub-par performance, Velde’s decision making in the final third continues to improve

• With the transfer deadline closing in, will Finn Surman’s insanely good blocks this game be the last we see of him or can we not afford to sell him right now?

• Antony finally shows some fire and commitment in his appearance off the bench… Is this organic or is he trying to impress potential transfer suitors?

• The Timbers finally get some penalty luck but luck has the last laugh minutes later

• The eye test says our two 8s are not giving us much on defense, but what do the numbers say? We ran a statistical analysis on Da Costa and Bassett against some other players in the league…

• The finish to the weekend’s T2 game was one for the ages!

• Ned has a lot of work to do before the deadline closes…

It’s Timbers Time and in this episode we analyze two good results against San Diego and LAFC as new coach Marti Cifuentes settles in and shows both his tactical nous and his pragmatism with some formational tweaks. Also on the show there’s transfer talk, ACL science, billionaire’s dinner time, and much more… RCTID!

This episode's key talking points include:

• How Cifuentes changed the press against San Diego as a stark contrast to how Neville’s approach saw us take repeated heavy defeats against the same opposition

• The Timbers get their long range shooting boots on with some style

• When Velde shares the ball really, really good things are happening, and post-Neville tactics have provided options around him

• Get well soon Brandon Bye, a crushing injury for our Right Back... Is the turf to blame? Workload? We dig into the science behind ACL injuries

• It’s so refreshing to have a coach that will actually talk tactics in press conferences

• Caicedo’s expansive passing range unlocked our transition offense, but does his defensive side have room to grow? Is Chara the perfect mentor?

• The picture perfect counter attack between Velde and Da Costa has to be a goal of the season contender

• Is Pants a hockey goalie? Those were some crazy kick saves…

• Are a few small possessions of intricate passing at the back a preview of “tiki taka” life under Cifuentes?

• Eric Miller did a really good job against Bouanga but how  did his lack of offensive ability affect the team’s play?

• What went wrong for the Bouanga goal? How do we assess the shot’s xG vs xGOT?

• The Timbers’ recent offensive production is eyebrow-raising, and Velde is a big part of that

• What’s to blame for all these ACL injuries in the modern game?

• Merritt confesses he should have sacked Phil Neville sooner

• Ned has a LOT to do between now and the MLS Transfer Deadline on September 2, including making a big decision on increasing bids for Finn Surman

It’s Timbers Time and in this episode we analyze Marti Cifuentes' start as Timbers coach as he begins his tenure with a 3-1 home win against Club Tijuana and a 2-1 road loss to the Chicago Fire. We discuss the squad depth as tiredness starts to hit in a tough run of short rest games, and Kevin Kelsy’s value as a big bid from Europe comes in for our in form striker…  RCTID!

This episode's key talking points include:

• We bemoan a lack of squad rotation that left the team leggy on the road, and dig into the depth chart to discuss if a shallow roster is to blame and what positions we should target before the transfer window closes in two weeks’ time

• The team bounce back from a drab first half to beat a rotated Tijuana team comfortably with a dominant second 45

• Is Velde having composure problems with his shooting or is it just poor shot selection?

• Has Trey Muse done enough to prove he’s a capable backup?

• We’re very disappointed not to see any Izoita minutes in Leagues Cup, especially as his fine form has led T2 to their first playoff appearance since 2018

• The pitch in Chicago is a disgrace and Cifuentes is right to call it out publicly

• A comedy of defensive errors gives Chicago a two goal lead

• Velde and Fory are carrying a lot of the Timbers’ offensive load down the left recently

• The Bye back post header routine strikes again! The Timbers are making the most of set piece opportunities with their tall roster and volume of dead ball plays

• An astonishing last gasp two on one defensive stop caps an excellent week of play from young left back Jimer Fory

• How bad a loss was the road defeat in Chicago in totality?

• Will Finn’s recent downturn of form cost the Timbers in transfer fees when he moves? Is now the right time to sell him if he won’t sign a new deal in Portland?

• What do we make of Rangers’ $10m bid for Kevin Kelsy? What’s a price we can’t say no to for our in-form young striker?

It’s Timbers Time and Leagues Cup is here! The Timbers faced two Liga MX teams last week of very different calibers and they produced similarly different performances with lots to break down. We dissect what went right in the 5-2 win against Puebla and what went wrong in the very “CONCACAF-y” 3-1 defeat to Club America, plus we rate the winners and the losers from the squad rotations in these two games… RCTID!

This episode's key talking points include:

• Leagues Cup vibes hit different, but who are they for?

• How the team failed to adjust properly to Boniteg being off the field

• Velde’s “frustrating talent” is on overdrive with both brilliance and selfishness

• Da Costa at False 9 is an intriguing experiment with both pros and cons

• Would Ian Smith be best as a wing back?

• How do we rate Trey Muse’s appearances as backup goalkeeper?

• “Professionalism” or “Unethical” - the fine lines of CONCACAF game management

• The club makes a small fortune selling tickets to Club America fans, but at what cost?

• The Timbers hold their own against CA for a half but get found out in the second half

• Cassidy loses his unbeaten record but should still leave proud of his achievements

• Some of our rotation players look brutally low on confidence

• Predicting Jack Cassidy’s next career steps

• Will Cassidy’s success make it more difficult for Cifuentes to take over at the start of a tougher run of fixtures?

• Scouting T2 for Eric Izoita’s profile, growth and fit in Cifuentes’ system

  
  

Content Warning: Some “s” words and similar moderate swears. You can’t talk about CONCACAF without saying s**thousery, it’s impossible. Even Velde lost his cool with some "s" bombs in the post game… I rest my case!

It’s Timbers Time and the fish have been gutted again! In this episode we discuss the 2-1 home win over our hated rivals Seattle, completing the season sweep in a matter of weeks. The good vibes are back at Providence Park, the fans are in celebratory mood and the incredible tifo was the cherry on the top. After breaking down the game we talk about Chara’s comeback, opinions on Pantemis, Leagues Cup opportunities for depth players and promising youngsters, and we have a sponsor suggestion for the Sounders… RCTID!

This episode's key talking points include:

• An insane tifo from the Timbers Army both inspires Portland and undermines Seattle

• After three games of tape on coach Cassidy, Seattle was much better prepared for our new style of play

• The Timbers start off slow again and an early Seattle strike has the nerves jangling

• Kelsy gets poor marks for his dive in the box but his phenomenal goalscoring run continues… will he start to attract interest from bigger clubs?

• Concerns about our attacking midfielders turning down shooting chances

• Is Lassiter producing enough to merit a long term starting spot?

• Chara’s retirement suddenly feels a lot further away than it did last month

• Digging into differences of opinions on Pants and gaps in goalkeeping analytics

• Were the team falling into old habits at times in this weakest performance of Cassidy’s tenure?

• Brian Schmetzer has an absolute meltdown

• Is the threat of VAR ruining live goal celebrations for fans?

• Is Leagues Cup an opportunity to experiment with our 8s and Wing squad rotations?

• UEFA’s statement on a new FIFA private equity investment plan mirrors our concerns with the Timbers financing

• Which of our Backups and T2 players might have the opportunity to breakout in Leagues Cup?

It's Timbers Time and in this episode we report on the home win against RSL as a heartwarmingly emotional Pipe Mora scores both goals in his final game in green and gold to lead the Timbers to victory…. Plus part two of the deep dive on our new coach Marti Cifuentes, this time focusing on his “Cruyffismo” management style and his tactics in his own words, both on and off the ball. Plus a big new striker signing! RCTID!

This episode's key talking points include:

• Our favorite Mora goals as a Timber

• Mora’s replacement is already signed and surprisingly high caliber

• Velde’s mercurial performance has us both amazed and frustrated in equal measures

• Is Chara getting “reputation” yellow cards?

• Concerns about Basset’s defensive contributions

• The “expressive, structured, and attacking” style favored by our new coach

• Analyzing Cifuentes’ style of football both on and off the ball

• Why his style of coaching favors high soccer IQ players

• How Cifuentes’ on ball positional rotations should minimize counter attacking threats

• Why did the Timbers decide to trade Felipe Mora?

• How the Timbers got a player of the caliber of new striker Vincent Janssen

• Is Seattle at home now a “Trap Game”?

It's Timbers Time and we have a new coach in Portland with Marti Cifuentes on his way to Rose City after a “vigorous” hiring process…  we dig into his coaching history and start to unpack what his hire means for the team! Meanwhile on the pitch there's an exciting, if ultimately frustrating, 2-2 draw with Dallas at Providence Park with plenty to discuss including four post bonks, two penalty shouts and a Santi Moreno boo-fest. RCTID!

• Velde’s introduction changed the game but has he missed a memo?

• The horror backpass from Arravena brings us back to opening day

• Was a draw a fair result?

• Velde’s positioning map tells an interesting tactical story

• Did Santi deserve the same chants from the army as Evander got?

• Why was Cifuentes chosen over fellow finalist Thomas Christiansen?

• What was “vigorous” about the hiring process?

• What Marti’s previous coaching job tells us about his pedigree 

• Should fans be concerned about his job-hopping history?
