Hard game at Dallas, who is missing Ferreira, but this team plays a good team game.

--------JDG------Tchani
------------Stevanovic
Soolsma---------------Plata
------------Santos

Give Stevanovic more of a free role to get involved in attack

Martina was the best player during the first month and now he takes the dero express out of town. He and Attakora are probably going to be moved and i think that sucks.

...i don't think we gone see same lineup as on Saturday...and i will not be surprised if we see at least two or three of the following...martina, borman, gargan, harden, cordon, sturgis...back in the starting 11...

I will be shocked if martina leaves. He hasn't played that well as of recent but that's hardly cause for a move, just means he's gotta play harder and more consistently, plus I doubt anyoned wanna take him as he's still relatively unproven

He's spent one game on the bench, no need to panic.

Might actually be handy to have as a sub, no?

I recognize this as a variant of the interlocking 11 man midfield you proposed a year or two ago. i'm not sure why Mo didn't use that one... at one point the roster seemed almost entirely composed of midfielders (or converted midfielders) and Mo did have a penchant for spectacle.

Whoa, easy there. Who's your source, other than baseless speculation, on Martina being moved out?

He has no source, it's just a pointless rant. Winter will be rotating the lineup frequently during this hectic portion of the schedule, so most players on the roster are going to get a chance to redeem themselves at some point.

That's totally it - how can you expect to see the same lineup when you're playing once every three days and travelling in between? Anyway, I'm still only semi-convinced that Nana is being traded away, too. I mean, all the ingredients are there (he's on a shitty contract, he wants a MUCH better contract, his team doesn't think he deserves a better contract, viable options for his replacement have emerged) but I just don't know..

They play as a team but if we don't play for a draw we could nic it. They were lucky vs DC in a scoreless draw. We've got to shoot, shoot, shoot.

well, I do think TFC is as good, if not better individual talent wise than a lot of Dallas players. But I think team chemistry > individual skill so...

I don't mind this but I think Stevanovic looks a little lost in the middle of the park. Although...I don't think there is a prime midfield general in the squad.

TFC haven't had one since Guevara.

I'm not a big fan of Petersons but I might do this:

------------------------Frei------------------------
--Ecksersley-----Williams-----Cann----Youra/Borman--
------Peterson-----------JDG-------Tchani---------
------Stevanovic-------Santos-------Plata---------

Almost the same as last game with Soolsma out and Santos in the starting XI.

Considering that most of the starting 11 on Saturday haven't played much this season, I would be shocked if Winter changes it up . It was the best performance of the season and fatigue shouldn't be a factor .

I think this might force Stevanovic to use his teammates more. I thought he did ok when he dropped back/switched places with Plata and got more involved in the game.

the link title says it all really. fc dallas closed their practice to their media, maybe switching to a 4-4-2 with castillo and rodriguez up front?

"But if by some strike, they either tie or do the unthinkable and drop one to those Hosers, then the real questioning will begin anew, especially with another game looming in just three days’ time. "

Hosers? lol Haven't heard that one for years!

Regarding the lineup, this match will represent the 3rd game in a week for several players that started the last 2 games (NCC and MLS). Considering Chicago is up next on Saturday, I would go with this (assuming Gordon is still injured)...

----------------Frei-----------------

Eckersley-Williams-Cann-Yourassowsky

Peterson--------JDG-----------Tchani

Martina--------------------Stevanovic

---------------Santos----------------

Subs: Plata, Soolsma, Cordon

Landing in Baltimore at 8pm, hoping to hit my hotel by kickoff... pretty sure the hotel in Baltimore won't be rocking GoalTV Canada (in HD or SD!)... any ideas where a good streaming site is?

Not sure it will work in the States for me if I buy before my flight OR if it will work back here in Toronto if I buy in the States.

It works in Toronto if the match is NOT on TSN.
It works in the States if you are not in the State where the home team is.

FC Dallas v Toronto FC 1.50 4.00 6.50

Toronto big underdogs. I might put $1.82 on TFC to win $10.00.
