The argument is on starting lineup quality, around minute 32.

"If healthy" is the key phrase.....unfortunately TFC doesn't have a lot of luck with all key players being healthy at the same time.

This!

And if considering our DP-s, if I would be a bookie, I would give these odds on this proposition:

The % of total minutes TFC-s three DP-s will spend together on the pitch from the total minutes of all the official matches in 2021:

-104 odds for UNDER 33.33%
-104 odds for OVER 33.33%

8 official matches are already down (maybe about 18-19% of all official matches this year), and so far there are 0 minutes our three DP-s spent together on the pitch.

That % would look a lot worst, maybe 25%, if the proposition would be:
"The % of total minutes TFC-s three DP-s will spend together on the pitch from the total minutes of all the official matches in 2021, in which all three DP-s are 100% fit."

Alright alright already.

NYCFC may be missing 6 of their 7 best players today.

It's an issue for pro sports in the pandemic.

(Injuries have been nuts in the NBA.)
