Free quick dos not count.
TFC has extremely few long range shots usually.
I don't get it why,,,

No Jozy. Didn't travel.
Vasquez was in the tweet of them getting off the bus, as was Hamilton.
Vazquez is gonna bring it like the LA game. Better to keep Seba well rested for playoffs, don't want another repeat of last year's finals substitution.
A back 3 of Moor, Morrow & Beitashour.
WB's are Edwards & Hasler.
Mids are Bradley Delgado & Osorio.
Forwards are Ricketts & Vasquez.
**********
That is not exactly a fast back 3.
Check out this tweet at https://twitter.com/torontofc/status/911681620889014273
Morrow and Beitashour are playing LCB and RCB, respectively.
No doubt Victor is the most important aspect of this team, the Player of the Year no doubt. He gives service to the forwards while taking pressure of the back line. It really lets The General play backs.
I like Hasler in the RWB. Has good vision and causes problems.
Glad to see Edwards out their.
Could be in for a lot of attacking from out wide today with Edwards and Hasler as wingbacks.
Anyone know why Zavaleta isn't there? Not sure how I feel about having Morrow and Beitashour as CBs
I've always wanted to see a 1-8-1 formation. :)
Hoping Moor can go 90 minutes, or else this might get ugly. No CBs on the bench.

I don't get the lineup especially in defense. Zavaleta had oral surgery this week so makes sense he's missing. But how about Mavinga and Hernandez? OK if you want to experiment or give some people a break, but why not at least have Mavinga and Hernandez be on the bench?
EDIT OK I saw the note above now about Mavinga. Odd that there was no news about it before today. And Hernandez? Seems like the injury bug has caught up to us at the worst possible time.
New England isn't great, but they've got good movement and significant firepower. I'll be happy to be surprised, but I'm expecting a loss here.
Wait a sec, MLS Lineup for the game has *Edwards* as RCB, So it's Beitashour-Moor-Edwards. Apparently Morrow is the LWB ahead of Beitashour. Maybe Vanney wants them on the same side for their chemistry? This experiment might work, or it might blow up in his face. I'm not feeling too positive about this game...
TFC is far ahead of what the mess the Revs are, anything short of victory should be a disappointment !!Quote:

Yeah. Much better to go all out with teammates who you don't need chemistry with in November, and risk injury on astroturf.Quote:

Others think that we need to compete in all games like we did until now, and go for that "best MLM team ever" unofficial title.
MLS Lineup prob plugs players in by looking at who has played the most games at that position. So Morrow fills in the LWB spot since he player 25+ games there. Edwards falls into RCB because was the last option.Quote:

Not looking for the Best Team Ever title, just don't think changing the way we play is the right way to go into the playoffs...Quote:

You cant help wonder what we're not being told about Jozy & Seba? Surely "tightness" doesn't keep you out for this many games? Lets hope theyre back soon to get up to speed for the playoffs
