Bench:https://www.buildlineup.com/shared/5...8c092e24ab1c64
Akinola, Patterson-Sewell, Fraser, Spencer, Dunn/Bjornethun, Telfer, Uccellohttps://www.buildlineup.com/shared/5...8c092e24ab1c64
^I think we can still win with that team.
Then why are you here, just asking the obvious question?Quote:

I am with him - I don’t care either. I hope we win, but I expect every decision made to be in the interest of the CL Final, and you won’t hear a peep from me if we lose all three of our next league games.
Obviously there'll be a lot of changes for this game. I'd like to see Jeremy Brockie get a start up front.

All the motivation/energy and focus is on CL, TFC will cement their status as greatest team ever with the CL trophy period.
As much as I feel the SS is the most important trophy aside from fhe ConCACAF CL...it would be nice to play the MLS Cup final somewhere warm in December.
It's not about caring more than I like to see our young players here and there when the opportunity arises which it has with the next two Saturdays , that's all.Quote:

TBH I'd hope all starters are in Colorado. The longer they're at elevation the better for game 2 of the CCL Final.Quote:

I don't think Moor will be playing due to age and need for recovery. Pretty sure I read somewhere he was on the list of guys that TFC said were pretty burnt out after Azteca. Hernandez and Zavaleta in the middle in a 4-4-2 I think. I don't think they will go with 3 CB's unless Mavinga is feeling better and needs some game time ahead of Tuesday. Same with Morrow, if he is ok and needs some game time he could also play CB if needed and they could switch to 3 CB's at the back.Quote:

For the players that are possibly coming back from injury but now have missed a few games...they are going to need to prove fitness. If Morrow and Mavinga are in contention for Tuesday. I'd have them on the bench on Saturday and bring them on for 30 minutes regardless of the score.
I'd likely do the same for Jozy. Little has been said about his injury and sub against CA. He was injured in in the warm-ups but started anyway. That was wreck-less and could have cost us. To be forced into a sub in the first 5 minutes and to lose the extra legs late in the game...or an injury time wasting sub that would have avoided the penalty wasn't good. He needs to really prove fitness if he is in contention for Tuesday. Again bench & maybe a run-out in the last 20 minutes.
Jozy is in Toronto.Quote:

Hmmm.... Let me think about an obvious answer to your "obvious question"........hmmmm..
Oh yeah!!! Holy crap I almost forgot!!
We are playing in arguably the biggest game in club history on Tuesday night, and unarguably a top 3 game in Club history, so my mojo ain't cranking for Saturday's league match the way it normally does seeing the magnitude of the game 72 hours later, and I am left feeling as disinterested about Saturday's league game as I was since 2012..
ie. win=that's nice, tie=meh, loss = who really cares.
Why am I on this board? Because I have been for almost 10 years.
Why am I on this specific thread? General boredom at home or work, mild curiosity.
Is watching bench players going to be interesting...sure
Watching young guys start going to be intriguing...perhaps
But in the overall scheme of things win, lose or draw, it makes no difference.
I hope I provided a satisfactory answer somewhere in this post.
warmest regards,
(P. S. I didn't want to go full waking the red with my lineup.)Quote:

My only thing is that if Morrow and Mavinga are questionable, I don't think Vanney would want to risk them, especially with GvW, Morgan, Auro all recovering from something.
Really I'm waiting to see who gets called up.
The circumstances around this game (CCL and injuries) are dictating what happens, no point in anybody getting bent out of shape. In fact it will be good for the young or marginal players to get some minutes.
he might want the run outQuote:

scratch that, he should be on the bike. low impact please.
im actually probably more interested now that we will see the youngsters have a run out
I dont expect any points, but it would be nice to see them compete and hold their own
is cheyrou allowed to play?
Funny that everyone is saying play the scrubs, and we have a guy like Aketxe in everyone's scrub line-up!
and our scrub keeperQuote:

Lose at home to Chicago after the CCL? Not happy. Fire at home is 3 points other teams are going to take.
We will have played the second leg of the most massive championship in world history late on the Wednesday night in a place that is a 6 hour flight from here.Quote:

Telfer played some wingback for TFC II, yea?Quote:
Toronto FC announced Friday that the club has signed midfielder Aidan Daniels, defender Julian Dunn and midfielder/forward Ryan Telfer. Daniels and Dunn become the 17th and 18th Homegrown players to sign first team deals from the Academy. In addition, they become the fifth and sixth players to complete the full player pathway designed at Toronto FC.
Gonna get wacky with this...
4-2-3-1
Irwin
Kubel (TFC2) - Hernandez - Zavaleta - Bjornethun (TFC2)
Bradley - Fraser
Hasler - Aketxe - Chapman
Hamilton
Bench: :noidea:
Mavinga, Vazquez, Morrow (if healthy to give them a run out) Ricketts, Patterson-Sewell, Akinola
This is 100% not likely though lol
Look guys. I found the subs for Saturdays game.
