Available doesn't necessarily mean they will start.

Less than 24 hours until a play off game and hardly any posts. Where is everyone?
I'm here!
I'm pumped!
here!!!
I am here and starting to feel those playoff butterflies.

I wonder what kind of injury Delgado received to be out since Oct 24
So either Gallacher on the left or Laryea.
Bradley, Osorio, Poz & DeLeon/Piatti in the middle.
Need pace out wide and quick ball movement. Listening to people talk about Nashville, what they do best is guard a box out from the goal to around the top of the circle outside the penalty area. One good thing for us is Godoy is out. What they have problems with is forwards stepping back out of the 6 yard box towards the penalty spot.
Crosses are useless against this defence.
If Richie comes in later, like to see him go full on Lovitz as I think that is a weak link for them - pace against Lovitz would crack that defence quickly.
I would prefer Richie coming in later, Nashville played a very weakened Miami. Still dont like Nashville but wear them down and then bring in Laryea for the finishing. Touch wood!!Quote:

The meltdown in here, if this happens, is going to be epic.
It's A Football Day !!! Can the Reds kick it, yes they can !!!Quote:

I hope this doesn't mean DeLeon starts, but somehow, I can't see Piatti being ready for a start.Quote:

From everything we've seen so far these playoffs, throw everything out the window. Seeding/ranking, etc mean nothing. To win would be a welcome blessing, and do to so in 120' minutes would be a statement with how the games have gone so far.
Believe in Vanney, believe in the boys. C'mon you Reds!
lets get it, dont stop!
I might test out alistair johnston on the other side too. While he has been good, he’s still a rookie ... might be able to get an edge there.Quote:

Auro-Gonzalez-Mavinga-Gallacher

--------------Pozuelo---------------
--DeLeon----Akinola------Piatti----
I'd start Richie but if he's coming back from injury put him on as a supersub - having him Altidore and Nelson (I think he's due a first goal) is a pretty nice luxury to have if we still need to break the game open. If we win tonight though it should really be Laryea and Auro as starters for the rest of the playoffs, even if Morrow gets healthy again. Wouldn't surprise me to see DeLeon and Pozuelo switch positions to make our midfield a bit better defensively. Bradley has been back for a few games now and still looks as slow as he did in the first. He could step up today but I wouldn't bet on it. If Delgado were healthy, MB should be benched, but we all know he won't be.
I have no idea what to expect from this month, in MLS or otherwise, so I'm just going to try and enjoy the ride. Cmon you reds
Q
auro-omar-mavinga-gallacher
bradley-priso
piatti - poz - oso
Altidore
Is this an actual 6pm kick off or an MLS 6pm kick off that means more like 6:40?
FWIW, there is no show on TSN before 6 & TSN is indicating 2.5 hours is the length.
TSN has something scheduled so I am guessing it will be just after ie 607. They post the lineup exactly one hour before so that will be a tell.
Ah. well that suggests later then. Thought I saw it was 2 hoursQuote:

Check out this tweet at https://twitter.com/joshuakloke/status/1331359748143329282
Kloke confirms that Piatti will be available tonight, as had been shared by other sources previously. I'm excited. COYR.
5:18 lineup announcement indicates 6:18 start
Wheeler on the pregame show just said the starting lineups will be released at 5:25 or 5:26... https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/...atch_permalink
No lineup out yet on TFC twitter, TFC social media over the last week hast been very quiet, not a single post about training back in Toronto until after. Even saw a live 45 minute facebook video by some supporters at training, as they were on the other side of the fence. It quite disappointing to see the lack of team coverage.Quote:
