Gonna say 1-1 draw. Pozuelo scores from the spot for TFC.
Interesting to see how we come out. I don't think we are as bad as we looked vs NYRB. I think that was more about having a bunch of kids starting in a home opener with a full(ish) house. Hopefully we see the better, but still not perfect, amount of focus they showed on the road.
And start anyone but Bono. Even Ranjitsingh. Enough is enough already.
Having Shaff and JMR at full back hurt us in the home opener as it was a new position for both - one maybe, but both was risky as we saw on goals 1-3
Agreed re Bono.
We looked really good for 50 minutes v Columbus. Now for 75…
I'm going to say 3-1 win. I don't think we are at the point where we can chalk this result up to being contenders, I just think we are due for a result. The soccer gods will give this to us.
Man I hope so. I can understand us losing on the road, but if we keep losing at home too people are going to stop coming and it's going to look and feel really bad.Quote:

Happy to see that JMR is in full training this week. Was concerned that he sustained a real bad injury.
I expect a significant drop in attendance Saturday over the home opener , true diehards will show but 90% of us just want Insigne here and will stay home next few weeks. Honestly got enough of players running around like chickens with no head last year.Quote:

Now just need Kamara to catch a slight cold.
You know the confidence is low when hoping for illness and injuries to hit opposing teams before they play us....LOLQuote:

I've done some quick calculations:Quote:

if tfc loses the next two games (both are at home) and then tfc loses its next game at real salt lake (which is almost guarranteed) tfc would have to average 1.67 ppg to make the last playoff spot. 1.67 ppg the rest of the way through is extremley unlikely to happen
if tfc loses the next two games (both are at home) and then tfc loses its next game at real salt lake (which is almost guarranteed) and then loses at home to Philadelphia and away at NYC (both extremely likely events) tfc would have to average 1.81 ppg to make the last playoff spot. 1.81 ppg the rest of the way through is impossible to happen
there is a definite possibility that this season will be over for tfc by the 3rd week of April.
to say this is a must win game for tfc is an understatement
I hope they've learned they're lesson from last time we faced a pressing team but I'm not that confident. I'd frankly take a draw at this point, even with how brutal our April schedule is.
Pretty low. But I wouldn't wish injury on someone, I said "slight cold" for a reason!Quote:

Yes, it was amazing. I’d really like to understand why from a tactical and personnel perspective, but haven’t been able to watch it again and would lobe to hear Kilbane explain it. Part of it was the four man midfield. OKello was fantastic in those moments.Quote:

I'm seeing a 2-2 draw.

I really don't know that Man U has 'far better' players than the Spanish championsQuote:

Haha. I hear ya. Stubbed toe works too for a slight injury :)Quote:
