Have At It People
Their record is deceptive. They beat Seattle early, Philly, the Galaxy.... the only thing they have really done is beat NE away - I watched that game, Dallas were outplayed, and the refs missed an obvious PK against FCD.
Also, I want to kick Dallas' ass for losing to Tauro.
Irwin will start. Bono is already in Philly for the US camp per his instagram.
Curious to see what formation Vanney will use. I would like to see a 4-5-1 with a back four of Auro, Zavaleta, Mavinga, and VDW. Bradley and Aketxe as the defensive midfielders, Osorio, Vazquez and Delgado as AM's, and Seba as the sole striker.
Aketxe is not at all a defensive midfielder, I would swap him for Delgado in your lineup. After Telfer’s performance vs Orlando he has to be in the lineup. I would go with the same lineup as Orlando, but Gio in for Hamilton. Chapman has played well, keep putting him out there until his performance drops.Quote:

I would like to see Aketxe get regular minutes now that the first team players are getting back as I believe he has quality and needs to play.Quote:

Aketxe still hasn't earned his minutes - apparently cannot bring his game from training to match day - so I am guessing he starts on the bench. Might be a game to give Oso a rest just as a injury prevention measure, so Chapman might keep his spot. And is Morgan ready to go?
I know he doesn't look like a superstar out there but chapman is getting thr job done with 2 goals.
Telfer will start but this time dallas will be ready for him. But that just gives seba more space
To be honest with you, I don't think the form of Telfer or Chapman will last, but you got to at least give them a chance. Morgan had an absolutely horrible game against Montreal at the O, and when Morrow went down with injury I was extremely worried but Morgan has proved me wrong and stepped in nicely. I think you have to give Telfer the chance to show he wasn't a fluke vs Dallas.Quote:

I'd play him behind Seba in a 4-4-1-1.Quote:

Penso is referee on Friday. Put on your slicker; it’s gonna be a shitshow.
Toronto FC v FC Dallas
BMO Field (8PM ET)
REF: CHRISTOPHER PENSO
AR1: CAMERON BLANCHARD
AR2: LOGAN BROWN
4TH: ALEJANDRO MARISCAL
VAR: GEOFF GAMBLE
Wasn't he the referee in last year's playoff game vs. the Red Bulls? He was in charge in Sunday's Atl vs. NYRB match. He seems to be always mired in controversy whenever the Red Bull's are playing.
That is the same asshat. He shouldn't be allowed to call a kids house league game let alone one at the professional levelQuote:

If we can take 3 points here I can see us taking as many as 7 in the last 3 games before the break.
Because we don't have a game closer to June 1 for the kickoff of Pride Month (or, like last year, the Friday of Pride weekend), this game is the Pride Night.

Been waiting for this. Glorious weather forecast tomorrow.
Earlier in the week Dallas’ young fullback did an interview. When asked what will be tough about facing Toronto and he said dealing with Giovinco and Altidore. I was surprised the Dallas players weren’t up to speed with who is out on our team. I guess they didn’t have their team talk yet on Toronto. I guess I thought the players were more in tune with what is happening around MLS.
------------------Irwin-----------------
-----Zavaleta--Hagglund--Mavinga--
-VDW--------------------------Tefler--
---Delgado------Bradley--------Osorio---
--------Vazquez----Giovinco----------
Of course, Hagglund won't start, so put Auro in VDW's spot and slide VDW into CB, but I would LOVE to see this at some point on Friday. Also, Aketxe could start over Delgado...
they need to build on the win last week and get something going.....
the win last week was all heart with the 2 big guns in front being out....with Giovinco back now and the team slowly getting healthy again, they need a swagger win tomorrow.....can't wait.....
Irwin has looked horrendous as of late.. yes it was with a team full of rookies but he has let in some real deflaters. Hope he comes in with something to prove.
I am worried about Delgado. We really need to be supportive of him. I think that miss against Chivas is the kind of thing that can haunt you for years.
Correct.Quote:

Not sure if I want Zavaleta in the middle of 3 CBs though?Quote:

Itll be the same backline as last game. Auro-Zav-Maving-VDW
I agree.....he seems to be playing with less confidence since then....shame too because he's been steadily progressing in his time here....Quote:

I was more thinking Delgado is just gassed. He was regularly subbed until this season and given the odd game off.
