Montreal is struggling, winless in its last eight games. In the last week, the club lost 5-1 in a derby match at Toronto FC before falling 2-1 to lower-tier Forge FC of the Canadian Premier League to drop out of the Canadian Championship quarterfinals.
"We're not proud of ourselves … we want to try to turn things around," he said. “It’s difficult because our confidence is not at its highest.Montreal last won a match at its home opener on April 25 and has been outscored 20-9 in all competitions since. "There’s a lack of intensity, in pressing, in challenges, in aggressiveness towards the ball carrier," he added."We're missing a bit of putting on our work boots, our helmets, doing the dirty work. Lately that’s what's missing, and we need to get that back.
